Keith, Laurie, Danny and Christopher wake up early, Sunday morning. Danny’s the first to make it to the living room. Shirley’s in the kitchen just finishing making hot chocolate for all of them. “Good morning! Happy Easter!” “Happy Easter, Mom!” Keith yells. They all come in the to the kitchen to grab their hot cocoa. Then they walk back into the living room and sit down Indian-style on the ground. They close their eyes and start to sing:
We are the Sun
We are the Fun
We are the Jellybeans of God
And today is the day
We are new and improved
La, la, la, la…
We are the Fun
We are the Sun
We are the chocolate television
Made of Love
Take a bite receive second sight
La, la, la, la…
We are the Sun
We are the Fun
We re-hatched
To be One
Mother Shirley has lit incense and the room is full of warm happiness. There are gigantic Easter baskets bursting with Easter treats. In the middle of them, is an even bigger one, wrapped in orange cellophane. Shirley smiles and says, “Oh, look! The Easter bunny brought me a basket, too.” She walks up to it and rips the cellophane off. Standing in the basket, is an adorable, redheaded girl holding a tambourine. The redheaded girl jumps out of the basket and starts playing the tambourine. All the children jump up and surround her, joining hands. They spin in a circle and start to sing:
The Easter egg Hunt
Is now complete
Because we have a
Little baby sister ,Peep!
They all hug and kiss her. Shirley sits in the corner, tears of honey run down her cheeks. “My family is One now.” And then, there’s a knock on the door. Laurie opens the door and a gigantic pink pig is riding Rueben Kincaid. He looks embarrassed, but the pig is smiling and clapping his hoofs. It is a fantastic Easter!
