Wm didn't let something silly like the non-existance of the Easter Bunny thwart his egg hunt and Easter Basket arrival! We hid all the eggs before we went to sleep last night and Wm came down this morning and had to find all 12 before he got his basket. Mission: Accomplished.

I asked Wm if he knew why we celebrated Easter and he goes, "does it have something to do with Christians?" I said, "Kinda. Christians believe this was the day Jesus rose from the dead after he died on the cross. He was dead for 3 or so days or something...then came out of a cave, I think maybe forgave some sins and then went up to heaven. I may have to look up the details online - I'm not super clear, obviously." Wm goes, "Never mind, that is crazy." So I said, "Well, the reason we celebrate Easter is the more 'traditional' celebration that went on long before Jesus. We do Easter because it is a celebration of springtime, renewal, and rebirth! The earth is waking up from the long winter sleep! That's why we color eggs - eggs symbolize rebirth and fertility." Wm goes, "Yeah...I'm going with that reason."
