Look what the Easter Bunny brought!!

The boys went to see the Easter Bunny this year again at the DMOTC Easter Egg Hunt. They were convinced on the way home that Grandpa Rebilas was the Easter Bunny though. I don't know how they decided it was him, but they did. When Michael drove them home from the party he said they were discussing the facts before they came to their conclusion. Since I was on the committee for the Easter party, I had to stay and clean up. It went really well this year too. We did it at our church and it was just wonderful! I will be chairing it next year, so I hope to make it even better!

Speaking of the Easter Bunny, the boys got a HUGE gift from the him this year! He brought the boys a swing set! They all LOVE it!! I don't think a day goes by without them wanting to go outside and swing! We are so thankful and happy with it. :-)

Easter morning I went to the sunrise service at the cemetery. We have gone every year since we lost dad. It is a sad and comforting thing all at the same time. Our family shows up at dark and we listen to the service on the radio, after it's over, we all get out and go and stand at the graves. Mom always brings tulips and my uncle fixes them so they won't fall over. Our grandparents and cousin are also there. We do a mini catch up and then I leave to go home and get ready for church and everyone else heads out to breakfast. It is comforting to remember that our dad is with the Lord and that there is hope in that because even though Christ died on the cross, he ROSE AGAIN! And because of that, we can have eternal life through him. Easter is such a humbling holiday. Right now, we do the bunny thing for the kids but it is always shared with the real reason of Christ. They are only little once, but we want to make sure that Easter isn't about the baskets or the eggs, but about our amazing Lord and his sacrifice!
