Dear Bently,

We celebrated Easter today! You had a blast, at least as far as I could tell! We had a strange Easter because I worked till 5 am. So we didn't actually hunt for eggs till after 12! Ops! We loved hunting for the eggs though you were really REALLY bad at finding the eggs. You are just not a good looker. You just stand there staring. We're like, "Bently look right there!" and some how you still don't see it. Haha! You had a blast doing it though! You would exclaim, "Oh an egg!" every time! :) We also did a little hunt outside with plastic eggs. You didn't improve much even with the earlier practice! We came inside and you started to open some eggs. Your Dad had put money in a couple of them because that's what Grandma Hodson had done when he was little. There was one with some change and one with a dollar bill. I filmed you opening the change one but you didn't have much reaction. Then as you opened the egg with the dollar bill (when I wasn't filming of course! :( ) You exclaimed "Oh my gosh!! Money!" I guess you already know a dollar is more impressive than some change! ;)


Later I was feeling guilty because we didn't make it to church due to my working so late. I really wanted you to know the real meaning of Easter. So I tried to explain the resurrection to you as best I could in terms you would understand. In the middle of the story you stop to tell me, "Jesus gave me my Spiderman puzzle." I didn't quite know how to react to that one! ;) So maybe you didn't quite understand the story, but at least you know Jesus gives you things! ;)


I love you my big boy. You seriously look so old to me now. I can't believe that you are a kid now and not a little toddler. It makes me a  little sad! :( I love you more than words could possibly describe. I hope you always know I have a testimony of the resurrection. That I know our family can be together forever, even after this life, because of Jesus Christ and his sacrifice for us.


I love you Bently!


Love,
Mom
