This year Easter was really busy. The Saturday before Easter, Destrie had 2 baseball games, and we went riding up Blacksmith Fork Canyon. We did manage to "hop on down" the bunny trail at Lee's though.
This year will go down in history as the year Destrie stopped believing in the Easter Bunny... It was right before bedtime, and he asked, "Mom, is the Easter Bunny real?" I kind of tried to avoid full on answering his question. He keep persisting, and Madee was there sitting on the couch saying, "Just tell him Mom."
So, I gave in, told him it was us, but assured him that it can still be fun. He sat real quiet for awhile, and then he said, "It's the same with Santa Claus too isn't it?" My heart sank just a little because he was our last "believer" in our house.
Madee also pointed out to him, "There is another one that's not real...The Tooth Fairy. " So there it was, all over, all at once.
Well, now Destrie is all grown up. It's going to be weird when Christmas rolls around...but really, it is going to be a whole lot easier....Bring on this next chapter in our lives!
