Jhett ready for church
the only Easter Sunday picture with Jhett not running away.....yet
eating as fast a he could
This year for Easter we decided it would be nice to change things up a bit for the future. Easter at our house has always been about the Easter bunny first thing in the morning. We thought it would be a good idea to make Easter Sunday really stand out for what it should be,remembering the Resurrection of our Savior, Jesus Christ. We talked to our kids and sent an email to the Easter bunny letting him know that we would like it if he could deliver our Easter baskets on Saturday instead of Sunday. He was happy to do so and we were excited to receive our eater baskets Saturday night. We then had a fun Easter egg hunt around the house because it was too cold to go outside, besides the fact that it was dark by then. (next year we might use flashlights!!) The kids had a great time and we really enjoyed our Easter Sunday without the rush of the Easter bunny before church. They kids seemed to understand the reasons for us doing things this way and were able to really think about the true meaning of Easter. I think we have started a new tradition in the New Mexico Kinghorn family. We hope it will last for years to come.

That sounds like a really neat tradition. I know of a few other people who are doing the same thing. More focus on the true meaning of Easter and less on the Easter Bunny. We may be following in your footsteps next year.
I think that is a great idea! I might have to steal it! Our church was a 9...mass chaos! Not really how you want to start out the sabboth! Not to mention Easter Sunday! Great idea!
