od ones! The dying of the eggs starts the Easter fun, I prepared 18 eggs for Johnny and myself and between the broken and eaten we ended up with 13, they turned out really pretty. Johnny got very creative making planet eggs and my favorite the striped one which he left out for the Easter bunny to hide. (At our house the EB hides your egg and leaves a basket filled with treats and presents, you cant touch your basket until the egg is found.)Johnny woke up excited to find his egg and basket right away. We then had a mystery EB leave us 2 baskets outside our front door! It was a good surprise! He gave up bubble gum for lent and went the whole 40 days with out cheating. I am proud to say even when he was offered the gum he did not take it. So after chewing
g about 2 packs of gum we headed to the park. I really felt it was important to remember what Easter really means to us and with church being so crowded I thought he would get more out of it by me reading him children's bible stories. It was such a beautiful day so we went to the park. We walked and he listened very carefully asking questions and really understanding what I was trying to explain. There was something special about enjoying the day and teaching him about the Crucifixion and Resurrection.

We headed over to Gigi and Poppy's to find more eggs and baskets and made bouncy balls (so cool)! The wolf pack joined us and
we had our annual big kid Easter egg hunt. In the eggs were lotto tickets, pony bottles, itunes and money, it was a lot of fun - who says your too old for an egg hunt? Besides with Johnny being the only "kid" we didnt want him to feel lonely hunting for eggs. A beautiful day with family and good food leaves me feeling good. Like always we really missed John (and the Wolf boys) but I am so happy to think this is the LAST holiday he will miss with us. We are counting down the days, hours and min until we are a family again. Not too much longer!
