Easter 2012
Every year - anything else other than chocolate and Easter eggs takes second stage around here. Dahlia especially cannot get enough of that dark brown heavenly stuff.
We have our annual Easter egg decorating party at our best buddie's house and proudly display our artistic endeavors.
And Dahlia still runs in and jumps on our bed in the morning, screeching "the Easter bunny came, the Easter bunny came!!" (She clearly peeked downstairs to garner that information.)
And then she and her side-kick sister leap around the house, gathering all the chocolate treats the 'Easter bunny' sleepily hid the night before.
Amazingly, she still isn't on to me. And I'm in no hurry to end this illusion. So much more fun like this.

Milana clearly does not have the speed that her older sister has but I watched with a fair bit of pride as Dahlia shared some her abundant booty with her.
And if you only knew just how much that girl LOVVVVES her chocolate the significance of that gesture would blow you away!
However.....I said all that to say this. For the first time, Dahlia really wanted to hear the real story of Easter....not the eggs and the chocolate but "why did they kill Jesus on the the cross?" and "where did he really go?' and "what is passover again?".
Good questions - questions that make Mommy think, in simple terms, what our faith really means.....what we really do believe in....and why!

Hi, I'm Wanda. I am a happy woman, wife to Danny for...oh....lots a years and finally Mom to THE most adorable little girl from Hunan, China - Dahlia. And now we have been blessed again with another daughter, Milana, from Zhejiang, China. (The 2 best things I've ever done!)
We live in the Montreal area. After a loooonnngg wait for Dahlia's little sister Milana (pronounced - Mee-lana, like banana), we finally brought her home in August 2009. Dahlia came to us in Nov 2004 (at 20 months of age)and a year later we began the application for another baby - at the time the waiting period was around 8 months. Almost 4 years later (say what!?!)we, at last, brought Milana home.
This began as the story of our journey to bring Milana home and life with her big sister, Dahlia. It now continues as we live as a family of four!

Two cutest bunnies ever, and those are some seriously blinged out eggs! Gorgeous!
You captured your Easter morning so beautifully, Wanda!! Love your pretty eggs and those beautiful smiles. I think it's precious how Dahlia jumps on your bed to tell you that the bunny has arrived...
Gosh your girls have grown!
Have a great weekend!!
