The Easter Bunny Is On His Way

I went to the grocery store today with the boys in hopes of finding some of the miniature robin eggs for a project we will be doing.  That was an adventure and, I wonder why I come up with these ideas at the last minute, and on Easter weekend.  The Easter aisle was a little bare to say the least, but luckily the neighboring store had what I needed.  I will share the creation later.

Easter is typically a religious holiday.  Growing  up it not only represented the religious side, but it meant that the Easter Bunny was going to pay a visit.  I can remember waking up and searching for my Easter basket.  As the years went on and I stopped believing in the magical bunny, the hiding places for my basket became even more challenging.  I can remember one year it was hidden so well, that I was in tears after searching for hours.  I was only 9, but my parents had hid the thing inside of a cardboard box inside the fireplace!  I always loved getting a glimpse in my basket, and finding some of the favorites that I put in the boys’ baskets now.

The boys are too little yet, I think, to hide their baskets.  I wonder how many people hide their children’s baskets?  And what are some of the many fun traditions out there.
