Easter Saturday

Growing up, we always had the tradition of having the Easter Bunny visit on Saturday so that Sunday could be more centered around Christ and the Resurrection. Michael and I decided to keep that tradition in our family (mostly to keep the real meaning of Easter on Sunday and partly because we didn't want the kids hyped up on sugar during church). Every night, we tell Emma "Super Ali Cat" stories (if you don't know who Super Ali Cat is, just ask Emma) so on Friday, Super Ali Cat helped the E.B. hide all the Easter eggs. Emma was very excited to see what the E.B. had brought her....so excited that she didn't wake up Mom and Dad before she went downstairs on Saturday morning! By the time we got downstairs, she had found most of her eggs and was busy munching on the goodies.

Somehow, the E.B. also knew that Emma and Daddy LOVE to watch "The Princess Bride". Daddy even "reads" Emma the story sometimes (from a totally different book). So you can imagine how happy she was when she saw that the E.B. had brought her a NEW BOOK!!


Emma even helped Lucas find a few eggs of his own. Of course, he would just send them rolling and then chase after them, but really, what else could an 8 month old do?
