He is risen!

Eas·ter (str)

NOUN:
  1. A Christian feast commemorating the Resurrection of Jesus.
  2. The day on which this feast is observed, the first Sunday following the full moon that occurs on or next after the vernal equinox.
  3. Eastertide.
While we enjoy participating in secular-world fun, such as the Easter bunny, Easter egg hunts, Santa Clause, etc., we must not ever take lightly the true meaning of such holidays.  They are times to remember and meditate on the sacrifices made and love shown to us while we were still sinners (Romans 5:8).  I hope that one day, that fact resonates through your soul in a way that makes you want to weep and mourn over your sins and then shout with joy for the beautiful and perfect gift you were freely given.  Until then, we will dress you up in cute clothes and let you look for chocolate-filled Easter eggs.
