We had a very busy Saturday. David had duty section muster, then he went straight from muster to the airport to pick up Shadow. She is spending the week with us. As soon as they got home we headed to Rancho Bernardo. Every year they have a Spring Fling. This was our first and only year going. The girls each got to decorate a planter and choose a plant to put in it. Then the girls played on the playground until their age group was called for the Easter egg hunt. I like the way their egg hunt works. All the plastic eggs are empty. At the end of the hunt you turn in all your plastic eggs for a goodie bag. So it doesn't matter how many eggs you get, everyone gets a prize. Both the girls had fun. After the spring fling we went to California Pizza Kitchen for lunch. We had a gift certificate :) David and I shared the California club pizza, so yummy. We like eating at CPK. After lunch we went home for a small rest. Then we went out and did recycling. Then home again and the girls took baths, then we headed to the base theatre. We watched "Mars needs moms". It had a good message to it. It was a cute movie. I think both girls liked it. After the movie we hit the drive thru for burgers then home for bed.

She looks so happy.
And she's off.
And she's done.
Shadow wanted her picture taken with the Easter Bunny.
On the way to church one of the girls made a comment about how she couldn't wait to see what the Easter Bunny leaves in her Easter basket. David and I decided that the girls are now both old enough to know about the Easter Bunny. One daughter already knew. We also decided that our son will grow up knowing about Santa and all the other holiday "characters'. We want the true meaning of the holidays to be the reason we celebrate. Too much emphasis is placed on "what we are getting" instead of "what we can give".

Christy's face is so animated; I love it! Looks like you had loads of fun; the weather also looks amazing.
No Santa Clause! It actually sounds like a good idea to me. We already don't do Mr. Easter Bunny but I think we'll keep Santa.
