Happy Easters!
See Nacho Libre. We decided to have the Easter Bunny come to our house Saturday morning and Josh was pretty excited to see so many eggs full of tasty treats. The Easter Bunny also left some new air planes and monster trucks for Josh. Josh hasn't been able to part with them all day. For Maggie's first Easter, the Easter Bunny brought her a fun car seat attachment and some Rice Cereal. Mmmmmmm.
Of course Easter is not about the Easter Bunny and presents; it is to celebrate the atonement and resurrection of our Savior Jesus Christ. In our attempt to teach this important concept to Josh, Holly explained to him that Easter is when we celebrate Jesus' resurrection and when Jesus was resurrected He came back to life. Since we had already explained the Eater Bunny to him, Josh thought it made perfect sense that the Easter Bunny would be bringing Jesus with him when he came to deliver eggs. We had to tell Josh that no, the Easter Bunny wouldn't be bringing Jesus with him because Jesus is living with Heavenly Father. "Oh," Josh said, "they live up in the sky?" "Yes, I guess you could say they live in the sky," I told him. Josh looked at me and very excitedly exclaimed, "Just like the dragons and the birds!" You've got to love how kids see things.

Maybe the easter bunny is afraid of dragons, and that's why he couldn't bring Jesus.
Hi Dan and Holly!
