What a day! Hutchins traditions is to live out miraculous scenes from the Bible. Christmas time, all the Hutchins females spend the night in the barn while the men stay in the Inn (Landover Westin), worrying during room service.
So for Easter, all the kids are hung on crosses (no, we do not put nails through their little hands, they stand on spikes and have ropes binding them to the cross.) Once the appear 'dead' (asleep, the little angels) we put them in one of the old mines on the property and block the door with boulders.
Truth be told, Easter is one of the few times the house is void of the thunder of 70 or so feet scurrying about as the kids do not appear until Tuesday or Wednesday. Mrs. Hutchins and I enjoy a nice rabbit stew.
Bless the little darlings, by Thursday, every one of them truly knows what Jesus did especially for each and everyone of them. As a treat, I give each one a rabbits foot key chain. They often trade among each other to collect the set.
Come the Glory!
