Easter Fun
This Mommy doesn’t quite understand the concept of the Easter Bunny, but knew that gift filled baskets were a tradition of Easter. However, the jam packed itinerary for Spring Break left us little time for Easter shopping, so I ended picking up some coloring books, crayons, and trinkets from a local CVS an hour before Mass started, and created one CARS and trucks themed basket, and one animal theme basket. The kids loved their gifts even though it came too late with all the tags still on it :). Nathan especially loooved his CARS cell phone that he had had his eye on for awhile. He also loved his Nascar coloring book so much that he brought it into Church with him.
After spending our day at Grandma’s house, we had a mini chocolate egg hunt in our apartment that night. Nathan requested to participate in hiding the eggs, which I allowed him to do, while Loi and I hid the remainder. There were a total of 3o eggs. Nathan found 22, Justin 8.
They then were each allowed one egg to eat. Yummy!
I may not always be the most organized in planning these holidays, but I’m always sure to do something special for them..or, at least I try. And, I know they appreciate it so much. Who doesn’t love presents and chocolates?

I just love the chocolate, smiley Justin face!! Awwwwww! I could look at that all day. I love to make holidays special, too. I think it’s really important for kids to get special days every so often.
