We did not see the Easter bunny or do any egg hunts this year. I wasn't trying to be a fuddy-duddy, but sometimes, it bothers me how commercialized holidays have become. I want our boys to know why we celebrate Easter and that is has nothing to do with eggs or Easter baskets. We talked to Camden about Good Friday being the day Jesus was crucified and why he had to die and also that we celebrate Easter Sunday because that is the day Jesus rose from the grave.
We still hid eggs for them around the house and the Easter Bunny delivered baskets, but I am glad that was not our main focus. Among the eggs were two resurrection eggs that I plan to hide every year. Once the boys opened their eggs, they each got a resurrection egg and Camden told Jaden what each item stood for. He did a great job! Then, we were off to Victory to celebrate our risen Savior!
