It used to be easier walk by the holiday of the month themed aisle. Now, with two kids we can't help but see a sweet fuzzy stuffed bunny and imagine it being hugged by our little girl, or admire the gorgeous little dresses, that will look so sweet on her as she rides her stick horse through a muddy field, permanently staining it never to be worn again... but it's so cute! The bags and bags of individually and brightly packaged candy tempt us, our little boy would devour that! He'd love one of those trucks too, to go with the several hundred he already has, but he LOVES trucks. Oh the temptation!
We love holidays, we love the chance to spoil our kids, and surprise them with treats. So, our challenge... to create quality Easter memories, spoil the kids, watch them receive something that they love, and remind them that holidays were not meant to be covered in plastic. We want to have a completely handmade Easter and teach our kids to remember that Easter is about the ultimate gift we were all given; sacrifice, love, and eternal salvation, not about who has the most candy in their basket.
We're making their baskets, their toys, their Easter clothes, the food and treats will all be handmade, nothing purchased from the "Easter aisle". We hope we can pull this off!
