Here comes Peter Cottontail...hopping down the muddy trail...

Easter was early this year, so the weather did not cooperate with those who love outdoor egg hunts and spring dresses.  Regardless, we were able to celebrate the true meaning of Easter--up from the grave He arose!  I think the cold, rainy weather was a blessing because it made us stay home and enjoy time with family this year. 
We had a rainy neighborhood egg hunt, but the kids had fun (and racked up loot) despite the weather.  The Easter bunny even made an appearance.  It was the shortest egg hunt I've ever attended, but it was still fun.  Later that day we had a Sunday school egg hunt at our house, but again, due to the weather, we had to change plans and hunt eggs in the playroom.  It was a bit chaotic but the kids had fun. 
Sunday morning we went to church then went to the Ruffs' for lunch.  The kids and I were off Friday and Monday, so we enjoyed taking it easy with art projects and library books.

I know that cute clothing has nothing to do with the meaning of Easter, but I do think these kids look adorable!

Neighborhood kids lined up to hunt.  The bunny had to stand behind the kids or else they ran off screaming.
