Though Em got a small basket delivered by me since she had to work at Panera all day and missed family dinner.

To me, its not a holiday about giving presents.*Jess*https://www.blogger.com/profile/05190888590178233798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-787377491196386141.post-79780187406127712422014-04-23T10:02:15.124-05:002014-04-23T10:02:15.124-05:00I think if you'll reread my post you'll se...I think if you'll reread my post you'll see that was not my point...Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01791021335260285130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-787377491196386141.post-14354900646342464972014-04-23T09:46:14.893-05:002014-04-23T09:46:14.893-05:00Just because someone gives their children huge bas...Just because someone gives their children huge baskets etc does not mean they don't celebrate the real meaning of Easter.

We focused on the religious meaning of the weekend, not the Easter Bunny. They were thrilled. I heard many times that it was the best Easter ever. Why? We played games together, went on a family bike ride, and grilled out. It was fun.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02215982113596544426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-787377491196386141.post-4561314411546019102014-04-22T20:13:20.250-05:002014-04-22T20:13:20.250-05:00No you're not the only one.

But my sweet husband talked me down and our kids were thrilled with their t-shirt and dried fruit. Nutty Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12768590702289331127noreply@blogger.com
