This Easter was different than our traditional Easter celebrations in years past. We showed up at church in our "normal" clothes. We didn't take the fancy Easter pictures. Ms. Linda was sick and couldn't host the traditional lunch and confetti egg smashing, but we came home and spent a lovely afternoon with friends having our first cookout of the season. We took delicious long naps. We spent the evening around our outdoor fire pit roasting marshmallows and telling silly stories. As dark settled in, the stars came out, our stories got sillier, and we dissolved into laughter Jeremiah snuggled up to me and said, "This is the best night of my life!" Reminding me that good memories come not from the helter-skelter planning of elaborate celebrations but from the simple ways we choose to spend time together.
