So, this past weekend we went down to visit our family. We went down on Saturday and took Anya to an Easter Egg Hunt at the Montgomery Humane Society. It was so much fun. Anya participated in an egg hunt, an egg toss with Travis, an egg race, and a cake walk. She didn’t win but she did find 13 eggs by herself in the egg hunt and she had fun, which was the most important thing. It was a quick weekend though. We went there, came back to visit with my Aunt and Uncle who came up to meet Arwen, had dinner and Travis and I and Arwen went shopping that night for a while. Easter morning we got up and headed to Travis’ Mom’s house for Easter lunch, which was also yummy. Then, Travis fixed something for my Dad on his computer and we headed home. Felt like a whirlwind weekend, and I think we are all feeling the effects of it today. Arwen slept from 12 til 3 today. Of course, there was another storm last night and we were without power this morning until about 10am and without phones until about 1pm and without cable until 2pm. At least its working now though.
Anya and Arwen had a good Easter though.
Speaking of Easter, we were visiting my friend Mirya’s blog and she had a post about Easter and a clip from “The Passion of the Christ” movie on her blog. I was watching the video and Anya became very curious about it. I have to give kudos to Mel Gibson for this movie. Now, granted what we were watching was just a trailer/clip of the movie, but it was perfect to explain to Anya about Jesus and Easter. We have talked to her before about Jesus and God and Heaven, but I don’t think she fully understood until she saw the clip. It totally clicked for her! What a great way to explain it to a 4 year old, the clips showed what happened historically! One thing Travis and I have never wanted to do was to sugar coat the story, we wanted her to know all about Jesus and his history, but how do you explain that? Well, I was able to do that today with the help of you tube and Mel Gibson and Mirya!
New photos will be up later this week. Hope everyone had a Hoppy Easter!
