Easter Bunny
My kids and I went to an Easter Egg hunt sponsored by the JC's on Saturday. They took these pictures for us and I just received them via email so I thought I'd share.
Liam was pretty scared of the giant bunny!
Analee was even more scared. I tried putting her closer, but she just screamed!

Very cute, Sarah. You are so blessed.
ReplyDeleteWhat are your thoughts that some folks have to "kill the Easter bunny," because it confuses the true resurrection with a pagan figure?
I never told our boys about the Easter Bunny, but other folks did, and so they believed. But I never felt it interfered with their understanding of the resurrection.
Plus, who doesn't like chocolate?
haha! Allison, I didn't know the Easter Bunny was a pagan ;) I think I may have told Liam about the Easter Bunny- but it was him who really took off with the whole Easter Bunny coming to our house. I don't think it's wrong- if Santa Claus and the tooth fairy are ok, then the Easter Bunny is fine in my book. More power to those who banish the made up characters, but I think my family is ok with believing in the Easter Bunny for now :)
ReplyDeleteAs for Santa Claus - there was a bishop Nicholas and we believe his spirit lives on....(When your little ones are older, there is a great book called "The True Story of Santa Claus")
ReplyDeleteA blessed Holy week to you and yours...
I think the Easter Bunny is similar to the 'sacramentals' we Catholic adults need in order to make concrete our faith. The Easter Bunny and Easter eggs: new life, faith, hope, sharing and Resurrection. I am not at all opposed to either Santa or the Easter Bunny, as long as we also teach the real messages of the seasons: the birth, life and death of Jesus our Saviour. Blessings Sarah to you and your lovely family in this most holy season of Easter. Pax Christi.
