We bought some candy for Nathan & I - which Harlow loved. (Seriously don't know how this guy knows exactly what sweet things are the moment he sees them, even if he's never seen or tried them before. Its like he has a little built in radar for the sweets. Thanks to his Dada, of course) But for Harlow instead of candy we got a big blue ball which he loves...but the ball got totally upstaged by the Rollos candies.
Tonight we went out to Grandma and Grandpa Henderson's house with Spencer & Angie, and Nathan & Colleen's families where we had a big Easter Egg Hunt. Colleen was so great and even had eggs set aside for our little Harlow Boy so Daddy and he got to go a huntin'. The Easter Bunny also brought a sweet spiderman couch and rocketship backyard swim for our little guy :) it was fun being with family and celebrating all together.
Easter is an interesting time - I guess holidays in general are. The world commercializes them so much so as to take all special & spiritual meanings out of them. It seems like we can on longer simply celebrate the holiday...let me explain that better...we have to make more and more of an individual effort to bring Christ into our homes with these holidays, it doesn't just happen. WE CHOOSE TO LET CHRIST IN OR IT JUST DOESN'T HAPPEN!! I am grateful for the time we took out to remember our Savior, His sacrifice and resurrection but I know we could have done more. If we are not careful and prepare then all the sudden we realize the holiday is behind us, gone, and a memory, with little to show for it. I want to re-challange myself to be the Mommy, to be the one on top of seeing that the true meaning of our special holidays comes through and is the center of our celebrations! It's one of my jobs and I want to rise to the call and bring the light of Christ into my family more!
