the kids had a lot of fun with the easter bunny side of the holiday this year. the older two left notes for the easter bunny asking for chocolate bunnies and a chance to hide some eggs. so, being the totally considerate bunny he is, the easter bunny granted both requests. he hid the chocolate bunnies, along with a few other things, but left each child 15 eggs in their buckets to hide for the family. the eggs matched their buckets, so in the end, they each got 5 eggs of each color. and, to top it all off, they got to eat their chocolate bunnies for breakfast. there was a time in my life when i probably would've said no to that request - i must be getting soft in my old age. we also read my childhood (and falling apart) copy of the country bunny and the little gold shoes. it is such a fabulous book about how motherhood can help us be kind and wise and swift - we highly recommend it! overall, this easter was much more meaningful than in years past. this is a new tradition i'm happy to keep going.
