happy easter everyone! i'd like to wish our friends Martin and Mary who have probably landed in europe already this morning--bon voyage!
we started off the morning with an egg hunt for Skye who was so excited she couldn't even finish her breakfast properly. we pulled on our coats and boots and ran out to find the eggs in the backyard. and then, horror of horrors! one of the eggs was already open and the surprise inside gobbled up by a nasty squirrel! the easter morning thief didn't even have the decency to dispose of the candy wrapper, but left it splattered on a tree trunk... ah, well, i guess even a squirrel should be allowed to celebrate easter. to prevent this turning into some traumatic event for Skye, we told her the squirrel must have been really hungry after such a cold winter.
well, the egg hunt thing has been an ongoing debate between Phil and me. i think Phil is warming up to it slowly (he was afterall the easter bunny hiding the eggs in the backyard). but the question always is, what do eggs and bunnies have to do with Jesus' resurrection? and i keep coming back to, what's so wrong about celebrating spring along with Christ's gift of eternal life? we'll see...hopefully Skye and Claire won't grow up with Jesus and the easter bunny all mixed up in their heads!
