Generally, we all equate Easter with the season for rebirth. After all, for us Christians, Easter is about the ultimate sacrifice that Jesus Christ made so that we may be saved. Images of furry bunnies, bright daffodils, sunshine, colourful flowers, eggs, tiny little chicks are often associated with the secular Easter season. Not to mention, chocolate. For those of us who live in Canada though, it's often cold at Easter, and those daffodils can only be found at the florist.
This year, Easter brought warm weather, lots of sun and the chance for our 3 monkeys to show off their Easter duds at church. Our brood loved the "snack" they got during church service - communion bread and grape juice. "Yummy" they declared.
There were also lots of chocolate goodies and colourful eggs that were hidden around Grandma and Grandpa's front yard. Good thing the Easter bunny also brought new toothbrushes.
But best of all, this year, on Easter Monday, we welcomed the arrival of our monkeys' new cousin - Baby Mia. She arrived, after much waiting, at 9:25pm, weighing in at 8 pounds, 7 ounces. Check out the newest member of our growing family. Congratulations to Auntie Shunaha and Uncle Nowell!
