Easter in a Small Town

Dear Charlie Bear,

Life in a small town like New Hope can be really fun.  Poppa and I were so glad to have you and Oz with Mommy and Daddy spend Easter with us in Virginia.

We live in a little town called New Hope.  Every year the Fire Department has an Easter Egg Hunt in the field behind it..  This was your first hunt. 

They had lots of activities for you to do.  You liked checking out the fire trucks.  You especially liked the wheels because you could see your reflection in them.

The firemen let you get up in the truck and even sound the siren.  You were also able to get inside the ambulance.  The firemen had cookies to decorate and games.  You, me and Mommy colored an Easter bunny picture while the big kids hunted eggs.  They had a special hunt for little ones like you so you didn't get run over by bigger boys and girls.

Here is the picture that you are thinking about coloring.  Did you know that your Mommy is very good at coloring.  You liked taking off the paper on the crayons and even tried to eat them.  Easter cookies taste better!  So does the candy in the plastic eggs.  When it was your turn to hunt Easter Eggs you would pick one up and go give it to the Easter Bunny.  What a good sharer you are! 

This is a picture of you and your Poppa.  You and Poppa are my two favorite Charlie's.  I hope you know how very much your Poppa loves you little man.  You are definitely a chip off the old block.  I pray that you will grow up to be as kind and as wise as your Poppa.

Know that Poppa and Diva love you very much and pray for you every single day.

Your Diva

XOXOXO
