then comes marriage...then a house...a dog...then first Easter

Dear littlest Russell,

This weekend we celebrated your first Easter. We had a jam packed day where we went to Grandma's work, then to GG's house, and finally to Auntie Julie's house for dinner. There the Easter bunny left you a very cute soft bunny which you just adore (everyone else got chocolate). 
At home the next day the Easter bunny left you a basket with some jammies, some muppet band aids, and an Easter book. 
You couldn't be happier. As the day went on I saw what my friends kids received and let me just say holy crap moly. Since when did Easter explode into a second Christmas? Gone are the days of a simple egg hunt and a basket. Now children are getting games, toys, bubbles, trampolines and enough crap to overstimulate a donkey thrown down beside their heaping baskets. THEY DONT EVEN HAVE TO LOOK FOR THIS STUFF. It's just out there in the open for them to *find*. I hope throughout the years you remember what Easter (and all the other holidays) are really about. 

Hugs and kisses to you and your bunny sweet boy,

Mom
