Of course the important thing about Easter is the resurrection but we do like to make sure fun pagan celebrations are still upheld!
So, Paige was kind of bummed that we didn't have the Annual Easter Egg (filled-with-$$) Hunt this year! The switch from candy to cash Easter Egg Hunts happened a few years back when our teenagers lost interest in jellybeans.
I didn't like breaking tradition this year but transporting all those plastic eggs from Los Gatos to Park City wasn't appealing to my sense of "packing light."
Yet Paige was a little miffed (what? no Easter dress either?) but once we saw The Easter Bunny himself, Paige was placated!
Parenting Lesson #1: Make and Keep Holiday Traditions! Next year, I will have the Eggs filled and hidden (wherever we are)!
