Glimpses of a very happy Easter Sunday. At different points this weekend I worried it was a bit of a lame Easter celebration (menu and activity wise) only to hear Brendan declare tonight it was the best Easter dinner we've ever made (doubtful, truly ; )) and the best candy and most fun hunt.
It reminds me of what I said a few days ago to mom friends. You don't need many crafts and traditions. Just one or two - bunny pancakes are ours. Your kids are not on Pinterest. They were perfectly happy writing on hard boiled eggs with crayons and dipping them into tacky dye from the grocery store checkout. They were quite satisfied with the simple baked ham sans fancy glaze and steamed green beans. They thought pressing peeps onto green frosted cupcakes was exceptionally creative. Process over product, right? I'm still learning that lesson.
It isn't the menu or the agenda. It's just that we were all here together and relaxed. It was enough.
Just like it always is.

I’m glad to hear you say this. I sometimes feel like I have dropped the ball or not done what I hoped to and then I remember how many wonderful memories I have of my childhood home life and I think that it is enough. I’m home everyday with them. Everyday. That’s a lot of time for them to know how much they were cared for and nurtured.
