Dr. Seuss Easter - Season 6

Our Dr. Seuss Easter started six years ago
 (2013, 2012, 2011, 2010, 2009)
But I think it's still pretty fun, so you know.
So, this Easter, of course, gets it's very own post
Out of all of our Easters, I like this one the most.
Our Easter did not go according to plan
In fact, Easter morning started off in our van.
We drove 15 hundred miles in the span of 3 days
And woke up with the rooster to avoid all delays.
We made it in time for a morning of church
Then to Grandma's house for an Easter egg search!
 
We didn't have a camera and it went by so quick
But the kids were excited about the wind-up cute chick
Aunt Brittany came through with more candy and toys
And then we popped bubbles and made lots of noise.
The kids all got goggles, which we needed quite bad
Plus bags full of candy - of course, I aint mad!
 
Next, over the hills to the "Greats" we did head
For potatoes and roast and Grandma's warm bread.
Then more Easter eggs were out on their big lawn
And we hunted and searched till they too were all gone.
 
And then, just like always, the sun started to fade
So we hugged and we kissed and good-byes were all made
 
Then we drove to our house thinking, "Wow - what a day!"
And we gathered our children and knelt down to pray.
We thanked Heavenly Father for the gift of His son
How we're grateful for Jesus - God's true, chosen One.
And we thought about death and how now it's okay
Because we can be all together, someday.
Happy Easter.
Love, the Webbs
