(we do an annual egg hunt, and some of the eggs have candy in them, some have money). Heathen that I am, I thought it was funny - my daughter is such a money-hound. Jeff, however was horrified! He sat her down with the Bible and told her the true story of Easter. I have a funny feeling that this scenario may repeat itself come Christmas time (which Vika says she loves because the "Baby Genius" is so "cute.").

The four kids used to get these awesome easter baskets filled with overindulgence -- this year the baskets were JUST eggs and one small stuffed animal... but for church? New clothes, and after church? special candies, etc. Associating church/resurrection with the excitement vs. a bunny. I switched it up this year.

I got Livi a cross necklace and we talked about how Jesus died on the cross and why we really celebrate Easter. You can do both... Bunny & The Big Guy...
