This year I have been really bothered by the fact that we have taken this special day and turned it into craziness filled with an Easter Bunny and Easter Eggs. For some reason I am not as bothered about Christmas and Santa Claus as I am about the Easter Bunny. Any moms out there thinking about contacting the Easter Bunny and having him come Saturday night instead of on Sunday? When I was thinking about this, I found this blog that does a great job making Easter baskets Christ-Centered. It will be good for when Elizabeth is older. Check it out!!

I am looking forward to this weekend with spending time with my sweet little family. We are having an Easter Egg Hunt on Saturday and I hoping to maybe make some homemade rice krispies eggs (this is a BIG deal for me because I don't bake at all!!). Looking forward to explaining to Elizabeth later what this sweet weekend represents.
I also found a great idea to do with jelly beans. I found this jelly bean prayer on this blog:

But here is the prayer:
Red is for the blood He gave
Green is for the grass He made
Yellow is for the sun so bright
Orange is for the edge of night
Black is for the sins we made
White is for the grace He gave
Purple is for His hour of sorrow
Pink is for our new tomorrow
A bag full of jelly beans
colorful and sweet
Is a prayer, is a promise,
is a special treat.
I love it!! Looking for other special things to help me deal with the secular side of Easter. If you find anything let me know!!!
