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

[Karen]

We colored eggs, mine being the most complex and elaborate, of course, and had some easter candy, sometimes hidden in the house or yard, depending on the weather. But each year we'd each get a stuffed animal. Mine were ALWAYS bunnies, (again of course), but after a while my sister's were always elephants, Lady's Human always some kind of bird, and I think my big brother got Easter bears. They were more fun and lasted longer than the candy anyway!

Of course Jonah needs a basket - what you put in it, though, is up to you, whether it's candy, toys, or other fun stuff!

I never heard of that before, we just had chocolate eggs and I still get them for my grandaughters. It's given me ideas for this year though, I think I will do something similar for grandaughter Dannielle instead of just getting her an egg.

And yes, add my vote to the Easter Basket for Jonah pile!

We got an empty basket and had to search for the eggs and candy hidden all over the house. In an ideal year this egg hunt would take place outside in the garden- but most of the time around Easter it was too cold and rainy so there was egg hunting in the house. We had candy and chocolate eggs but of course also coloured hard boiled eggs. We ate eggs for days

If anybody wonders how to boil eggs hard I remember a helpful thread

Of course that boy needs an Easter basket

We always had Easter baskets, too. My sister and I both got the actual baskets on our first Easter, and we would put them out every year for the Easter bunny to fill. We also dyed and hunted Easter eggs.

Yes! Jonah needs an Easter Basket this year!
You don't have to fill it with chocolate, a few toys and some of those plastic eggs will make him happy enough at his age.
Easter eggs hunts are fun, you can't let him miss out on that fun either!
Tell Lillycat that it is her duty as a grandmother to spoil Jonah!

Oh yes....easter basket! Don and I still give each other Easter baskets (although he saves the "grass" from year to year!)

When I was a kid we had Easter baskets and ALWAYS an egg hunt. One of my favorite family movies involves an egg hunt in which I found more eggs than my big brother. He cries and I offer him one of my eggs....

We continued the egg hunt even after we were grown and before there were any grandchildren. In the house unless weather permitted an outside hunt. Of course....since I am now in California....no family with whom to hunt....
