Happy Easter!

The boys and I went to Walmart today to grab a few things and I couldn't believe how many Easter baskets and Easter stuff they had all over the store. It was EVERYWHERE! It looked like the Easter Bunny threw up all over Walmart! It was kind of annoying to me because of course I like to give my kids Easter baskets, but the true meaning of Easter, and every holiday for that matter, is totally overlooked in all the commercialism. Do we really have to spend $50 for every person on every holiday, I mean come on. We of course will do an Easter egg hunt and baskets but I really want to focus on the true meaning of Easter this year, the Resurrection of Christ. Such an amazing event and one that we all can look forward to because of His sacrifice. He has broken the bands of death for us, so that this life is not all we will experience, there is so much more. For that I am grateful.

We will be going to my mom's for Easter so we won't be around for a few days. Rex is so excited, when he woke up from his nap today, he said, "Alright, let's go to Grandma's!" I was like, no buddy, not till you wake up from the night, not naptime! Cutie pie! He loves his Grandma's!
