Easter Bunny

Today's Scripture: Matthew 28:1-11

Every Easter morning, the Easter Bunny visits our house. He brings goodies to fill the kids baskets and he hides the eggs we dyed in the front yard. It's funny to look at pictures and remember the differences in each Easter morning. We have hunted eggs in the dark. We have hunted eggs in the freezing cold while other times it has been warm enough for bare feet!  One Easter morning we hunted eggs in the rain and last year it was foggy!  No matter the weather, the Easter Bunny always shows up to surprise the kids!


The Easter Bunny brings the kids goodies to fill their baskets. They get plenty (way more than they should). However, I don't want them to feel like Easter is another Christmas. They get small things that will fit INSIDE their Easter baskets! There is no reason for the Easter Bunny to feel like he has to be Santa Claus, he doesn't even have a sleigh to carry it all in for goodness sake!!
