Oh right, that was today. Since we just came home from Disney last weekend we decided to stay home for Easter. Just the four of us and our day. I made baskets for the girls with the requisite piles of candy and some things to play with outside. If they're going to eat their weight in candy today they may as well have a way to work it off, right? Sadly, after that it was just like any other day. We went to the movies to see Horton Hears a Who and I hope to actually see it one day. It was too "scary" for Natalie so we left halfway through. There was the usual amout of bickering between the little people and after Alyssa was up from her nap we had an egg hunt in the back yard. Then we had dinner, watched some TV, then bed.
It all made me a bit sad. I remember growing up and being almost as excited for Easter as for Christmas. I remember the excitement of seeing the basket waiting for me in the dining room and how special it felt to get dressed up for church. We had a lot of family nearby and many years we would go to big egg hunts or have dinner with family. A big departure from todays trip to the movies and CVS. Now our nearest family is four hours away and Easter has become a regular day.
I wonder if there is a way to make this Holiday special again. I wonder if that feeling of specialness is just one of those things we lose as we pass into adulthood. Next year I will try to make it special again.
