- a last minute rush to Target where the aisles are clogged with carts and there is not a single bag of pastel foil-wrapped candy to be found.
- a play of Calvary accompanied by choir and kettle drum in the darkened church where the acting is wildly uneven and you can't help but notice that Jesus has been working out in preparation for his big scenes. (Also you kind of hope that our real Lord and Savior had a bit more presence and eloquence at his command, and looked less like a sulking teen.)
- dying eggs and fingertips the color of flowers.
- bundling gifts for the neighbors into tissue and ribbon and dropping them on doorsteps under cover of night.
- staying up too late making a plate of carrots and guinea pig pellets for the bunny's arrival.
- staying up WAY too late taking care of all the Easter details to the backdrop of soft little snores.
- watching the dawn break over your front yard, hoping your bathrobe stays knotted round your middle, an egg carton clutched in your hands.
- being awakened by a double-pronged attack of cheerful chirping by two little girls intent on loot and chocolate.
- exciting and awesome and scrabbling for eggs against your sister.

- making brunch, using lots of boiled eggs of course.
-making lunch, more boiled eggs, deviled this time. And then another round of dishes.
- spending all day with your family, playing, eating, and eating again.
- phone calls over speaker phone, with many relatives speaking at once.
- a good time to wish you new beginnings and everlasting hope in your own endeavors!
