Happy Easter!

Our Easter plans had changed this year, from going up North to see family to pretty much just staying home and chilling out.   The weather had been bad and had left behind snow-packed and icy roads.

Sidenote: we had to wait a few days to see Connor (at his Mom's house for the holiday.... and the Easter Monday holiday, plus Tuesday snow day).

Oddly, Easter and April Fool's Day landed on the same day this year.  Neither Eric nor I had ever remembered this happening.   We had notions of pulling Easter egg pranks, but it just seemed a little sacrilegious, so we just stuck with Easter.  :-)

On Sunday, Ramsey woke up at his usual time (aka EARLY) and, before we even got his hair combed, started finding hidden eggs that the Easter Bunny had left for him.

 He looked high and low for quite some time.  And he finally came up with 36 eggs.

 How apropos that Riggs was following closely behind him, with his Easter Bunny.  Dad made a funny (yet oh-so-cruel) joke.  You can imagine.  *wink*

 Then Ramsey got his Easter Basket surprise.

 We had a quick errand to run in the afternoon, so we took a jaunt to town, but smiled for the Easter Cam before we left.

 Ramsey wouldn't be Ramsey without getting a goofball picture in too.  "Hey, these are my new glasses," he said.

Because Easter is more than about a bunny hopping around, delivering baskets and leaving behind candy-filled eggs, we had discussed the true meaning of Easter to Ramsey.  We read him Easter books and taught him that Christ died on Good Friday and then rose from the dead on Easter Sunday, washing away sin.   Easter is about life's renewal.   God bless our family and friends!
