Easter Baskets and New Dresses

Yesterday we drove down to Champaign to spend the day with Quinn and Tiffany. Quinn had some outdoor projects he needed help with. He and Randy created two flower beds, cleaned up the back yard, and moved a lot of dirt around in preparation for seeding new grass. It was freezing (yes, 32 degrees) and they worked very hard. Tiffany and I wanted to be fair, so we did some hard jobs too -- we played with Clarissa and then watched that physically exhausting and emotionally draining movie, Charly, while Clarissa slept.

When we were raising our kids we tried to always keep the Easter Bunny separate from Easter. So, we celebrated on Saturday and worshipped on Sunday. Yesterday was Clarissa's first exposure to Easter baskets, new dresses, and egg hunts.

We celebrated Easter the same way as you guys. My kids love doing egg hunts and dying Easter Eggs and then today we drew pictures about Jesus.

Thanks Grandma and Papa for coming to visit, we had a wonderful time. I'm glad that Clarissa is finally getting to the point that she remembers who you are and loves playing with you.
