Mom's turn: The Lost Easter Bunny!

Ooops – not sure how this one got away…but Easter was FABULOUS this year and, late or not, it definitely deserves a blog.
Mao wasn’t familiar with our Easter traditions, so Christina wanted to show her all about it. They started with eggs; they boiled about 2 dozen eggs and then dyed them for the Easter bunny to hide the next day.
on the phone EVEN while dying eggs!!!
While they did that, I made a center piece for the dining room table and set it with the China in preparation for tomorrow’s family lunch.

The next morning the girls woke up early to see what the Easter bunny had left for them: a basket full of goodies for each young lady including books, stuffed animals, candy, and toys. Then they searched for the eggs that were hidden by that rascle, the Easter Bunny!
This led to big grins and then we all got dressed in our new fancy dresses for Easter services.

We were joined by friends and family for an outstanding church service that was overflowing from the building! Afterwards, we went home where we were joined by even more family and enjoyed the combined bounty of all the family cooks for a fabulous lunch. Overall, I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day to celebrate Jesus’ resurrection!
