Where’s that 6 foot bunny? Hope he’s hoping over to my house. I could use a basket of cheer this Easter.
We didn’t color eggs this year, but I did create a Easter basket of candy and goodies for my 8-year-old granddaughter, Sophia. I limited the candy, like a good Grammy.
Easter was always a happy holiday in our family. We always donned colorful Easter dresses, fancy shoes, and attended church.
Only when we returned from church were we allowed to hunt for our Easter baskets – the ones the Easter bunny hid for us in the coat closet, behind the sofa, in the oven, or outside by our back door.
That was back when I was a kid. Back then, our baskets were primarily candy and colored eggs.
Nowadays, it’s easier to mix healthy treats in kids baskets. Easter clothes are still primarily dresses, spiffy outfits. Little girls seldom wear bonnets. Boys seldom wear ties.
We still go to church on Easter Sunday.
The Easter bunny still hides Easter baskets We video our granddaughter’s “hunt” for hers with our smart phones.
The day is full of fun and giggles. Easter Ham sits beside scalloped potatoes. Cool Whip and ice cream top our pies and pudding. Mom receives flowers.
We watch Jimmy Stewart in, Harvey, as he tries to convince everyone he meets his 6 foot bunny friend is real. Love that movie!
If you haven’t seen it, do yourself a favor and watch it. Feel like a kid again.
And have a Happy & Healthy Easter!
