We were able to hunt for easter eggs this morning while it was SNOWING!!! Unbelieveable... but what a fun time. Thanks to the Soelbergs for planning such a fun time with warm drinks afterwards. The kids had a blast and didn't take very long to fine the eggs. What crazy weather, but I guess that is what you get when Easter is in March. One of my friends, Heidi Robinson, said it had something to do with the lunar calendar and Alexa corrected her with the information she had acquired from school. "Actually, the reason Easter is in March this year is because the moon had a certain time at which it was at a certain place therefore causing the timing of Easter to occur earlier in the year." Now whether she is correct or not...I honestly can't say but she sure sounded like she knew what she was talking about.

Alexa is correct. Easter day is the first Sunday after the 14th day of the lunar month (the nominal full moon) that falls on or after 21 March (nominally the day of the vernal equinox). WHY this is i forget. Easter can't be any earlier than March 21 or later than April 25th. It won't be THIS early again for another 220 years.
