Egg Fall Out!

We try to take things lightly and simply emphasize the Truth of the Gospel on Holy Holidays such as Easter and Christmas. Well, if it wasn't already hard enough to try to explain to young children how come we all celebrate eggs on Christ's Resurrection Day...my life got harder this year.

The Charlie Brown Easter Movie was on a few times the week before Easter this year. Of course, in honor of how much I remember getting to watch Charlie Brown movies we settled in for some laughs. My 7 year old thoughtfully enjoyed the Spring Break fun. My 4 year old on the other hand has never really grasped the whole bunny and eggs thing. So, upon watching the Charlie Brown Easter Beagle movie not once but twice she was even more concerned.

On Saturday night, we once again talked about the sacrifice Jesus made for us. My sweet little girl pondered the talk and prayed thanksgiving to the Lord. Sweetly and tenderly she also reminded me that tomorrow (Easter) the Easter Beagle would bring her a basket full of eggs....

Yes, folks, the Easter eggs now come from Snoopy!

Hope eveyone had a beautiful day of reflection and family this Easter.
