"Where's all the candy?", he asked.
"What candy?", I replied.
"The Easter candy."
"There isn't any."
"What about the Easter Bunny?"
I tried to do a lesson last night about Easter but things got out of hand (that's a whole 'nuther story) and so we put it off until today. Tonight for family scripture study, I took out our set of plastic Easter eggs. Everyone took several and we went through what each egg had inside and the scripture that relates to it. It went very well tonight!! We were also able to explain to Fruzsi why we don't have crosses in our church or as part of our religion.
Our Easter was very nice and I'm so grateful for the opportunity to teach our children about Christ, His death and His ressurection.
Next year, we'll do the lesson on Saturday night so there aren't any questions about a big bunny who leaves eggs and candy all over the place!!

We normally do a big family pic-nic and an egg hunt on the Saturday before Easter. This year we went sledding (no place was warm enough to be outside so we went to the coldest relatives and sledded). My boys too were wondering where the candy was....They shelled all the dyed eggs in the fridge looking for the candy inside (all over the living room carpet while dh and I were still asleep). It is a good thing we love them. I hope the snow goes away soon, although we had flurries here again today.
