For the magic is what I really remember.  It is times like these, more than ever, that I wish she was still around for me to ask her how she did it.  Now that I am a mother myself and my own person, some of the rituals have been laid to rest… the clothes not as fancy, no plastic grass, no silly kid toys, and  sadly less chocolate.  Today we grow our own grass, and go surfing instead of to church.  But we take lots of photos, we dye eggs and we hunt.   We make our own magic now and we still find our fingers rainbow colors for days to come.

In the meantime…enjoy mine….
