Our actual Easter was pretty uneventful. My parents were in Seattle for my soon-to-be sister-in-law's endowment. Eric was still in Minnesota. So my little sister Melisa and I decided it was too depressing to have Easter without everyone. We waited and did it on May 1. I swear, before I got married, I never did this celebrating late thing. Now it seems like I do it all the time...
It was still pretty simple a week later, I didn't do any of the traditions I've been thinking and planning forever; just like Christmas traditions, we'll have to take baby steps. We did have very simple Easter baskets for the girls when we got home from church, which I didn't take pictures of. But we did wear our Easter dresses, which I took pictures of. Sorta.
My kids are really starting to play more and more together, and it's so much fun to watch them bond. It's also a LOT of work to help them play nice and continually model how to share and how not to take things away from each other, etc, etc. I'm hoping that it'll pay off in the end. So far, I'm of the opinion of training early--reverence, obedience, cleaning up after yourself, independence, potty teaching...etc. Even as I write this, I'm wondering if I'll look back on this and laugh (or if any of you seasoned mommas out there will) and say "oh, how cute." You know, the way that hip hairstyles from the 70s and 80s are "cute."
