Happy Easter!




Easter has come and nearly gone in the Mechling household. It has been so fun the last several months, having a child that actually comprehends holidays and gets into them. This was the first Halloween, Christmas and now Easter that Cady has been excited about. She was thrilled with the whole process of dying eggs and was so excited about everything that the Easter bunny brought her, although the candy and the pinwheel were definite favorites. We had a simple little egg-hunt this afternoon in our backyard and, although everything was pretty simple this year (no need to set the bar too high!), it was all so magical with a "believer" in the house. Of course, trying to teach the meaning of Easter was not a big attention-holder! Any ideas on how to make the resurrection of the Savior as interesting to kids as the Easter bunny??!?

Resurrection's hard because then you have to get into death. We stuck mostly with the Easter bunny and "Jesus loves you" this year. Cute pictures!
