Hoppy Easter

Here's hoping everyone had a safe and happy holiday.

I know that the true reason for the Easter season is that Jesus died for our sins and rose from the grave on Easter.  That is the best gift ever. 

But, there is something special about the "first" of any holiday with a small child.  The big eyes when they see the baskets on the couch.  The sheer joy of pulling out surprise stuff.  Yesterday was Tiffany's first Easter.  She received a sunny yellow outfit and stuffed ducky holding an Easter egg from her Abuela Lydia.  She got a bee pillow pet from Louis.  She got a Thumper bunny rabbit from her great-grandparents the Henagan's.  She got a hopping bunny toy from the Mindaks.  She had lunch with lots of hugs and kisses with the Pittman side of the family.  The Easter bunny brought her a basketball and a soccer ball, plus books and bubbles.

Every child should be loved like this.  Even though all of the folks mentioned could not be with Tiff, they made sure she knew she was loved.
