Happy Easter ♥ 2013

Easter, it's the first Holiday that the Jacksons prep their yard for, and they do such an awesome job. The kids had a blast getting all the cousins together, coloring eggs, letting them play outside and the laughter echoing through the rez warms my heart.  The adults gather around to spend time together cooking, laughing, eating delicious food and  telling stories. It's always a great time when we all get together and it's always hard to leave.

This year was a lot of fun for the Easter "Bumny" (As Noah wrote on his bookmark-LOL) Noah placed his empty Easter basket on the table and that sneaky rabbit took it and put a map to it instead. The map lead him straight to his Easter basket and with that there was the first "clue egg" that lead him around the back yard to collect all the clues. 1) I'm Cold 2)I'm a rectangle 3)I have a door 4) Sometimes I give you treats. "The freezer!" He ran over and with much excitement found that the Easter Bunny left an Iron Man 3 in the freezer. On the map was a pile of colored dots, a picture of a carrot along with his other clue egg, Noah was curious as to if the Easter Bunny had pooped there :) There sitting in the colored dots was a box of bubble gum eggs, I guess we can call that Easter bunny poop!

The Easter Bunny left 3 jelly beans with the Easter Map he left for Noah and he (Noah) took those jelly beans held them in his hand and said "I'm going to eat these jelly beans because I love Jesus" I'm glad that he knows that Easter is about Jesus and that he is always watching over him and listens to his prayers and that we celebrate him. Easter service offered another beautiful sunrise, and a message that reminds us that today we celebrate Jesus, as we reflect on our faith.

We all enjoy the kids waking up early to see what the Easter bunny has left for them, giving their parents that glimmer of hope that they still believe...
