Easter was fabulous. We did the city sponsored hunt and then my friend from work had one at her house. The kids had a great time. My friend is a Martha Stewart clone. I don't know how she does it sometimes, but I'm glad she does. The kids colored eggs, egg hunt, potato sack race, spoon egg race, had a barbeque, jumped on the tramp, played on the swingset, all around just an awesome day. If it had been warmer she would have prolly let them in the hot tub LOL.
It was sort of weird not to have Easter Dinner with family. Of course, I could have made it myself, but not too interested. The girls also didn't go to church. I had asked them earlier in the week so I could get them dresses but neither wanted to go. Oldest is quite anti-dress - sortof reminds me of someone - myself! LOL littlelest loves dresses but for some reason was not interested so no easter dresses. This is the first year they haven't had them. I'm sort of conflicted about the whole church thing. I went to church until I was about 12 every sunday practically with my grandma. The girls have been sporadically. I was starting to go almost every Sunday after littlelest was born, but then when the whole XH/cousin affair thing came out, I quit. I just felt like I was in a fishbowl and everyone was watching me. Prolly all in my mind, but that was the way I felt. I didn't really go for myself, I went for my grandma and the kids. Honestly, I'm not sure what my religious feelings are...I'm pretty confused about the whole thing. For the girls, I just let them choose if they want to go or not. Little goes a lot, Oldest goes some. I don't go.

It sounds like you all had a great Easter. I hardly ever go to church anymore. I was raised Roman Catholic and went all the time. And then in 8th grade stuff changed in the church and my mom decided that God could hear us from our bedrooms just as well as from a church. Since then I've decided to come up with my own ideas of what sort of religious influences I would allow in my life.
It's good you allow them the choice to go or not, and don't make a big deal of it. They'll decide down the road if it's right for them or not. I'm of the belief (pun not intended) that forcing your kids to go doesn't work, in fact many times it will simply push them away from it later on...
Craziness. It was also cheating that kept me from going to church. I felt like everybody was thinking "oh poor her" and looking at me. They probably weren't. I got over the feeling, but I never went back to church.
