I love all holidays- getting together with family and friends and dressing up the cutest little girl there ever was is just exciting for me- I'm not going to lie. After saying that, I am realizing more now than ever what every holiday is really about. Of course I know the true meaning of all of these holidays, which has nothing to do with dressing up and being excited about baskets, eggs, candy. Easter has everything to do with Jesus dying on the cross for us and saving us from our sins. Why I am realizing this is because of that cutest little girl there ever was. Dustin and I have grown up in homes where our parents taught us the real meanings of all holidays and we are blessed to have had this. Now God has trusted us with Rachel and with that comes teaching her the same things. I guess I'm just realizing now more than ever that what we put an emphasis on is what she will think holidays are about... a lot to think about is all.
Now, after saying all that, I will still dress up Rachel and get excited about the little things, but will always put God first and make sure she knows the true meaning of why holidays are celebrated.

You are right on with your thoughts about Easter. I have a quote pasted to the inside cover of my Bible: "The only earthly thing we can take with us to heaver is out family." PTL
