Easter Egg Hunt

We were super excited when we found out we'd be in town for Erica's annual Easter egg hunt this year! She goes all out and the kids love it (and the mamas and papas do too)! Although Savannah was scared to death of the Easter bunny, she enjoyed the delicious food and goodies in her eggs. Here are a few pictures from our morning. . .

An interesting conversation was struck up on the way home. Savannah starts by saying that she doesn't like Easter and doesn't want it to come again. After asking her why, she explained that it was because she "doesn't really like the Easter bunny." How thankful I am that we were able to say that Easter isn't about the bunny, the candy, or the eggs. It's about Jesus being alive! At the age of 3 our preschool director says to focus on the simple truth "Jesus IS Alive!" Savannah understands that and now is content with celebrating Easter. Although as an adult I know there is much more to Easter and the sacrifice Christ made, the bottom line is that He is Risen. So tomorrow we're off to Greenville to celebrate the Risen Lord. Happy Easter!
