Caleb Learned the Real Meaning of Easter

I have had quite a time trying to explain Easter to Caleb and why we celebrate it. It's hard to explain death to a 3 year old, let alone resurrection and what that means for us.
 
So I have been trying to simplify it as much as possible but didn't really think it was sticking.
 
We hadn't discussed the true meaning of Easter yet today - not since yesterday morning. All talk today has been the Easter bunny and candy. Then we had one of the best conversations we've ever had:
 
Me: "Caleb, do you know why we celebrate Easter?"
Caleb: "Yes, because Jesus saved us."
 
That was it. A beautiful, simple and perfect answer. Nothing more needed to be said.
 
And then the mom tears started flowing. I adore Him (both Jesus & Caleb).
