The Easter Bunny came to town...


A Cadbury creme egg, twix bars, bubble gum eggs, Russell's raspberry creme egg, a notebook, gel pens, socks and of course cereal were all some of the goodies that the Easter Bunny dropped off in our Baskets Saturday morning, April 7th, 2007. A couple years ago, we requested that the Easter Bunny visit us on Saturday morning so that we could keep Sunday a Jesus day and Saturday could be the Bunny day. It made Sunday less hectic and the kids didn't have the sugar rush before church! It has made it nice to not try to cram everything in on one day. The tradition in our house is that the Easter Bunny hides the baskets somewhere in the house (downstairs) and when the kids get up and we tell them it is OK to go down, we take turns finding our baskets. Usually the youngest goes first. The kids enjoy the hunt! Usually we let them have a piece or two of candy and then have them pick which cereal they want to eat for breakfast.
After breakfast we usually have a egg hunt, but with the bad weather this year, we didn't end up having an egg hunt outside (nor inside for that matter - we had several other activities later that Saturday!) We did manage to decorate a few eggs the Thursday before Easter, although that is all we have done as far as coloring and hunting eggs goes this year. The moment may have passed, we'll see!
