We went to the Children's Easter Vigil last night at our church. Spirits were high even though the weather temperatures were very, very low. The Houston Chronicle was there to cover the service and McIver was snapped holding a candle lit directly from the new Paschal candle by our rector. He thought that was 'very cool and fun.'
This afternoon (we had to wait for Will to get home from rounds, much to the children's dismay!), the children were going through their Easter baskets when Olivia commented that the Easter Bunny is nice but doesn't bring as much stuff as Santa Claus. I reminded her that both Christmas and Easter are not about Santa and the Easter Bunny. She said she knew that they were both really about Jesus. McIver interrupted and said that Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny are different because "Santa Claus is up high and the Easter Bunny hops on the ground."
