easter

I love Easter.  I love how there are tulips and hyacinths blooming everywhere, I love how when it rains the tree branches look so black against their bright green new leaves.  I love the thrill of the treasure hunt, watching how excited the kidlet gets when he finds an egg, and how carefully he places each one in his basket, and then counts them happily later. I love hanging out with my girlfriends who are all mommies now, too. I love how even though the kidlet's daddy told him that he is the Easter Bunny, the kidlet just thinks that his daddy is being silly, and still believes.  And then of course there is the sweet Easter chocolate, all wrapped up in foil, the promise of Spring in each bite.
