Our kids have the best Aunt in the whole world we are convinced. All the Easter clothes and the big Easter baskets are from their Aunt. Austin's basket had a skate board and Lindsey's had a Strawberry Shortcake basketball and Reece had a bunch of nerf balls in his. We'll save dyeing Easter eggs when we have the grandparents here this weekend. Then we can actually spread Easter out for two whole weeks. It's good to hear Lindsey's thinking through the "why"of these holidays. Coming home from church she commented on the fact that Christmas is for Jesus's birth and Easter is because he died on the cross and rose again. Then she asked why we celebrate Halloween. Good question. "Um...you know Daddy loves to answer those questions for you. Let's get home and ask him what he thinks."

I'm totally with you on the "ask daddy" thing!! And what a FABULOUS aunt!!
Haloween is celebrated so that kids like Lindsey can ask these questions to make their parents and THEIR parents look foolish but at the same time, help the kids enter into an early adolescent diabetic state, tooth decay and upset stomachs from sugar overload. Other than that, I can't think of any good theological reason.
And Aunt Nar thinks they're the best kids in the world too! I'm having too much fun shopping for them, but I know the day will come when they won't wear the clothes I send....then I'll switch to cold cash :)
