Resurrection Sunday

Resurrection Sunday will be here tomorrow! Normally, we have certain family traditions surrounding our holidays. Our children have felt a little short-changed this year, as many of our family traditions have gone by the wayside over the last three months (we never have finished our Advent story from Christmas and the Valentines are still in boxes that have never been opened). They have been asking about the usual things we do for Easter such as the resurrection story eggs, coloring wooden eggs (because of our egg allergies), and, of course, the candy. Our current plan is to do an abbreviated version of the celebration by hiding the wooden eggs we colored last year instead of coloring new ones and limiting the amount of candy, etc. that we distribute. There will be no new clothes or haircuts (we are all looking very shaggy). In light of Christ's sacrifice for our sins, none of these things are really very important, but I realize that they still mean something to my children. We are hoping to go to church tomorrow (this will be the first time in over two months that we have been), so, hopefully, everyone will be feeling well and energetic enough to attend.
