I know there are people out there who condemn the coloring of Easter eggs, the celebrating of the Easter Bunny's arrival, the "doing up" of a cute Easter basket and the hours spent on cooking Easter meals. They say it takes away from the true meaning of Easter.
And to that I say, Killjoys!
But seriously... WWJD? I'm no Bible scholar, but I think he would be cool with us having a bit of fun on his day. Especially since it means bringing family together
So that's exactly what we did yesterday. We don't really celebrate Easter, per se. We celebrate family, and as such, had a family gathering with a big feast... including cupcakes!
And, of course, we decorated eggs with the kids:
And you know what? We had fun. Lots of it!
I hope you all had a wonderful day yesterday, whether you celebrate Easter or not!
I think Jesus would have been okay with that.
The girls go to Catholic school, so in addition for learning about the resurrection of Christ, they had easter egg hunts and were given easter eggs treats from teachers and friends. It was a mix of both.
We celebrated by going to Easter Mass, coloring eggs, giving the baskets, having dinner and an easter egg hunt.
Aside from myself feeling periodically sick yesterday, it was a great day.
Happy Easter!
