Bunny Prints and Harry Potter

The Easter Bunny came to our house Sunday morning and left some powder-white footprints in our living room and stairway. Cameron and Jenny were so excited about it. Cameron came into our room and whispered, "Mama, Daddy! The Easter Bunny came and he left footprints!" They got flashlights in their baskets so they shined them on the prints and investigated. "It's so mysterious," Cameron said. Jenny was more focused on her little baby that she got in her basket along with some candy. Cameron got a truck and Eric got a digger. They all seemed pretty happy. Even though they were excited about the Easter Bunny, we still talked about the true meaning of Easter- that Jesus Christ died for us so that we may live. It's really hard to get it into their heads when they're having candy thrown at them from every direction, but I think they got it.

We went to my sister's house Saturday to celebrate Easter with her. My dad came up with a new nickname for Eric- Harry Potter. You see, Eric has this obsession with straws. He will hold on to it for hours at a time, switching hands if necessary. My parents were amazed that he held onto this straw the entire day- approximately 8am to after 8pm. So my dad calls him Harry Potter with his magic wand. Eric's been really moody today and the only way I got him calmed down earlier was with a straw. I don't know. Cameron's obsessed with his blanket, Jenny with mommies and babies, and now Eric with straws. To each his own I guess.
