Well Easter has come and gone. This was a particularly sentimental Easter for us because it is the last one for us in here in New Zealand. We have grown accustomed to the large chocolate eggs and chocolate chip hot cross buns. I know these things will be available in its various forms in the future but it won't be quite the same. I guess that is how things are sometimes. Aida was so excited to get a huge Cadbury Creme Egg pack. She came to us after dinner with her eyes wellilng up with tears, her cracked open egg in one hand, and a spoon in the other. Apparently she was under the impression that the large egg was filled with that creme and she was ready to dig in. Not so. It was just a hollow chocolate egg. False advertising to have the creme egg foil on a hollow egg. It didn't help that she had seen the pimp my snack creme egg where it was filled up with creme. That is what she thought she was going to get. You had to be there, it really was sweet, even though it sounds gluttonous. Lucy had fun playing with her big chocolate bunny and was very generous to share it with her friend and sisters. After the Sunday naps she went to the fridge and pulled it out and gave her little Lucy cackle and said, "my bunny had a nice refrigerator nap." All in all it was a good Easter and a far cry from our first Easter in NZ when the ground was frozen. We also got to celebrate a nice lamb dinner with our good friends here. I am especially grateful this year as i have had some time to stop and reflect on the great sacrifice our Lord and Saviour has made for us so that we can enjoy our families for all eternity and return to our Heavenly Father. What a great and precious gift. I hope that we can live in gratitude and to the fullest so that we can be worthy of such a gift. I love you all and wish you the best. I hope all of you have a happy Easter and can have fun with your families.
