Happy Easter!

OK, so I don’t technically believe that Jesus was resurrected from the dead. But I also don’t believe the son of god was born to a virgin on December 25 but I still celebrate Christmas. Wanna make something of it?

But with a kid as young as Bridget, there are limited ways in which to celebrate Easter as the Hallmark Holiday we treat it as. She is way too young to appreciate an egg hunt. I boiled some eggs on Friday with the intention of coloring them, but then thought that was a waste of my precious time. We’ve been eating the eggs.

I did take great delight in making Bridget a basket. Instead of a chocolate bunny, she got a stuffed monkey wearing rabbit ears, two books, plush Peeps, a headband that looks like a flower and some plastic eggs filled with jellybeans. I also put in some tiny solid chocolate bunnies and chocolate carrots - but those were mainly for Jake. She had a great time pulling stuff out of the basket, and especially loved the plastic eggs because they made a great noise when she shook them. She did even want to sample a piece of a chocolate carrot, which is not like her. She’s not normally a fan of sweets and in fact spits ice cream out of her mouth.

All in all a good time was had by all of us if only for a few minutes. Then we had the traditional Easter dinner of King Ranch Chicken.

So if you celebrate religiously, Hallmarky, or not at all, I hope you had a good day!
