The Easter Post

Ahh! The Harris family traditional Easter Egg hunt starting sharply at 10AM at the Horace Williams House in Chapel Hill. Standing to my right is the intense, highly vocal Easter Egg Hunter Mom (you can see her fanny pack if that tells you anything).



Micah crashed in the grass before it even started. She was a little embarrassed and maybe a tad angry from her stumble.



The egg hunt takes place on the dew dripped lawns and the giant wide spread, cavernous magnolia tree. Notice the ant-like people at the base of the tree (insert an Andreaism-Mat's praising plant loving mom- in reaction to the grand magnolia tree, she would have total respect for the tree).







After Easter dinner, Mat and I tried to explain the true meaning of Easter. Here is the commentary:

Gretchen: "Jesus lives in the sky!"

Mat continues to tell how Mary saw Jesus after he had risen from the tomb.

Gretchen interjects: "Like Mary had a little lamb." Then sings: "Mary had a little lamb, little lamb, little lamb."

Mat wraps up the beautiful Easter story with: "It's not about the candy or the hunts...."

Gretchen: "Ha!" insinuating that it IS about the egg hunts

Mat finishes: "It's about Christ sacrificing for us so that we can live. So, do you understand what Easter is about?"

Becket all wide-eyed looks at him and asks: "Yes, but do we still get to have the Easter egg hunts?"

Happy Easter everybody!
