Easter 2009

We had a wonderful Easter celebrating the rising of Jesus. The kids woke up in hunt for their baskets. Sage initially could not find them...and thought the bunny had forgotten her house. Fortunately, Devin and Jade found the 3 baskets so Sage could wipe her tears away. We then went to church where we were touched with Adventure Christian Church service (download the podcast at iTunes). We then had a nice brunch at Il Fornaio. We then went to our favorite spot in Rocklin to feed the ducks (there were lots of baby ducklings) and bunnies (baby bunnies too). Devin then hid Easter Eggs for the girls.

Sage and the bunnies (Devin and Sage so desperately tried to catch with plans to release). The bunnies were just too fast though (see 2 Bunnies hopping in the background)
A baby bunny. The kids begged for a Bunny after seeing these darling creatures. I explained to them that our 2 dogs, bearded dragon, and fish are enough to take care of at this time.Jade loved feeding the ducks, geese and goslings. Spring sure brings on new beginnings...there were numerous new hatching of different goslings and ducklings. Sage was the one especially in heaven with all of the baby animals!
