Easter

Our neighborhood has an annual Easter egg hunt. Since it was gorgeous outside on Saturday we couldn't resist going. We decided to drive over to it with our neighbors that live across the street. When we got to the park Caroline immediately saw the Easter bunny and this was all we heard for about 10 seconds "eeeeeeeee." I've never seen her so excited in my life. Later on, as you'll see from the pics below, she wasn't as excited to see the bunny when it came time for pics.

Poor Caroline had the smallest Easter basket


It's surprising to me that she actually keeps her sunglasses on


She was so into her little eggs...mainly excited to see candy everytime she opened one


As you can tell from this picture Caroline was very interested in the Easter bunny (mainly scared of the Easter bunny). I really didn't want to be in the picture, but I sort of had to. I have to admit that bunny was creepy!

I think it's fun to see Caroline get so excited about the easter eggs, bunny, candy, etc, but we also want to teach Caroline the real reason why we celebrate Easter. We've been talking to her about what the cross means and what Jesus did for her. I know that she doesn't understand it all yet, but I am amazed at how she can piece things together. At nightime we have a little routine of bath, brush teeth, read, and then pray. Sometimes I forget to pray and she'll say "pray" and remind me. She keeps me accountable.:)
