    Easter Baskets (sssshhhhhhh...don't tell Lillycat!)

    Alright. Growing up, we had Easter Baskets every single Easter. They were stuffed full of candy, small toys, and hidden through out the house. We would search all over for ours, and not tell someone else when we found theirs. Apparently, Lillycat took a blow to the head, as she absolutely cannot recall such fun, and ALWAYS blabs on about how I will be ruining Jonah's health (for life, apparently) if I indulge him in such a tradition. Like ten pounds of chocolate at one sitting is BAD?

    I am doing it..she is NOT the boss of me anymore (don't tell her I said that, please!!!), and it is MY house, and I will swear Jonah to sweet secrecy. I think Easter egg hunts are F-U-N, Easter Baskets are as necessary as fine Easter duds for Easter Sunday, and it helps bring in the Spring season!

    What do you guys think? Do/did you have Easter Baskets? Hunts? Want me to send YOU a basket? He he he....maybe I should say, "the first ten recipients to respond..blah, blah, blah"

    We always had Easter baskets growing up. The Easter bunny hid them all over the house. I make one up every year for my furkids, no chocolate, of course. Jonah definately needs the bunny to bring him a basket full of candy!

    I love getting easter baskets, every year until the year I moved out my mom made me one. Sometimes if I am able to go home for Easter, I'll come home and find an easter basket on my bed. I want to make one for Alexa this year, but right now we are both in MAJOR saving mode so I'm not sure if I'll make her one this year. I made her one the first year we were together and it was her first easter basker ever! I put lots of yummy candy in it (good chocolates like Lindor bunnies), some fun little travel games since she travels so often and toys like play-doh and silly putty because even as a grown up it's still fun

    Thanks for the great signature Kay!

    I will be keeping both Laura and Corinna in mind for baskets this year!

    I LOVE them, and Jonah is getting one HUGE basket from the Mr. E. Bunny

    We always had Easter baskets when we were kids and had the same tradition for our kids. They had baskets for a lot of years - I'm a thinking even until Amy was in college. Then we just started getting them their favorite Easter candy instead of a basket of things that didn't get eaten and were left to go stale.

    Last year I didn't get Jasmine a basket cuase she has a mean mommy. But she got some books and stuffed toys. Probably won't get her much candy this year either cause her mommy won't let her eat it cause she might get messy or soemthing. (Good thing Christy doesn't have time to get on pet Talk anymore, huh?) And anyone who tattles is in real trouble with me.

    (Johanna, I like the malted milk ball eggs and Jelly beans (not spiced ones though) and.... Oh heck, anything chocolate!)
