Easter...a little late.

Easter is long gone...but I thought we'd post some pictures.

Landon and I spent part of the day before Easter at Wade's house dying eggs and letting the kids play.

We started a few new traditions, because I'm all about traditions!

The first one was an inside Easter egg hunt that started with a letter from the Easter Bunny. The Bunny wrote a poem instructing Landon to go search the house for all his eggs...but look among them to find four special plastic eggs with words typed and printed on paper and folded up inside.

We was instructed to bring them back to us and we helped him make a little sentence that told him where his basket was. (it was hidden on the front porch)

After the inside hunt we were off to church and to lunch. At the conclusion of church there was an outdoor baptism in the baptismal in front of the church. During it Landon yelled, "MOMMY LOOK! Wanna do that?! Wanna do that?! It's fun!" As all the eyes of church goers around me looked and laughed, I could do nothing but say, "thanks honey, but I've already done it before."

After lunch came home to "find" a crumpled up paper with a map and a picture of the bunny on it. (drawn by Carlos DaVinci)

The map had 5 locations marked with an X and a little map from our house to the park. That's where "bigger" Easter surprises were hidden, like a Bakugan...(don't ask...some little toy he likes), a fishing pole and a few other things.

If you look in the upper right hand corner, there was also a little note saying he had to take a nap first! Ha! Easiest little nap we ever got out of him...mom and dad took advantage of the time to rest.

Place your cursor on the picture to see the caption and the "+" and "-" to increase or decrease the speed of the slide show.

In all it was a wonderful day and we just loved knowing Landon is finally begininng to understand who Jesus is...and soon he'll better understand the grace, peace and hope Christ offers through his resurrection!
