Bella woke up to three children hopping on the bed.
"What is going on." She asked.
"Daddy said to wake you. We can't go find the eggs till we eat as a family he said." Matilda said.
"Get up mommy we need to eat." Aden pulled at her arms.
"Please mom" Ethan said.
Her three children were excited. She quickly got dressed and headed out the door with the three pushing her.
The table was sit with rabbit shaped pancakes. They quickly ate.
"Ok go out in the backyard and find them. The bunny said there are 99 eggs and 1 golden goose egg. Who ever finds the golden one gets a special gift.
The three set out as Beauty and her Beast watch them run around on their treasure hunt.
"You did good my beast. Where did you put the golden one?" Bella asked.
Zane chuckled, "In a rose"
For an hour the three searched everywhere they counted and they found all 99 but were was the golden one.
"Let's keep looking as a team that way we can all get the prize" Ethan said. He was the oldest and did not want to see the others cry. He had seen the gold egg and left it alone.
He takes the over to the rose bush. "Aden you look here. Matilda you look here and I'll look here." He pulls the egg out and yells, "We found it together let go tell mommy."
Bella is proud of her three kids. "Come with me and you can open your eggs as I tell you an easter story."
Once upon a time there lived on earth the son of God named Jesus Christ. He was loved my many and hated by many. He gather his 12 most faithful followers and had a meal with them. He washed there feet and told them he was there for them. That night the told them that one of his 12 would betray him.
He then went to a lovely garden to talk to god because he was worried. Then his follower Judas was paid in sliver to point out christ so the soldiers could arrest him.
The good king could not see why the people wanted to kill christ so the brought a murder and christ and asked which one shall be crucified. The people said that the murder should go free. This made the king upset so he said he washed his hands of all this.
They then took Christ and whipped him and put a crown of thorns on his head and made him carry his cross to the hill.
Three men were going to be crucified that day. One said if he was truly the son of god he could save himself. The other believed he was and asked for forgiveness. Christ said the man was forgiven and would be in paradise with him.
After he was dead they wrapped his body and placed him in a tomb. The next day the tomb was empty his body was gone. His friend Mary cried because someone stole his body but an angle told her not to cry for christ had risen. Because of this sacrifice we all can live with him after we die.
"Mommy is that true." Aden ask.
"Yes, in sunday school we learned that." Matilda said.
Bella reflected on how smart her children was how they love to sit and listen to her stories she is blessed by god to have such a wonderful family.
Hope everyone has a wonderful easter.
