When Mark and I were kids we both loved Easter. We have talked about what it was like for us and we both agreed that our baskets were fantastic. Mark’s was full of Rosalind chocolate, and I always had a ton of candy and the best stuffed animals. We really look forward to seeing what the Easter Bunny will leave for Sam each year. Last year, Sam looked at her basket, and eventually played with the toys in it, but she was so little, she really wasn’t into the basket the way she will be when she is older. This year she had a blast! I spent the week talking about the Easter Bunny and I think she really sort of understood that something was going on.
Here is a picture of her basket which the Easter Bunny kindly left for her.
He left her basket in our guest room so that she wouldn’t see it until both Mark and I were out of bed. I got up with her and told her that when Daddy woke up, we would find her basket that the Easter Bunny hid in the house. Mark called to her from upstairs saying he thinks he sees something, and I got her all excited going up the stairs telling her I think it’s from the Bunny. Here is her little face when she got her first glimpse of her basket.
She couldn’t wait to get up on the bed to start dismantling it. Some of her treats were her bendy bunny, a singing bird in a cage, and her stuffed giraffe. She had a death grip on the giraffe in the store a few weeks ago and I managed to pry him out of her hands before we left. I felt so bad that she couldn’t have him that I wound up calling the Easter Bunny and telling him she would like him as an Easter treat. 🙂
The eggs were filled with some of her favorite treats like crackers and veggie sticks.
She loves her singing bird! She giggles each time he plays. We thought Zephyr would like it too but she gave it a sniff, realized it wasn’t real, and couldn’t have been bothered with it after that.
We were wondering how long it would take for Sam to decide that the grass in the basket is fun. Not long!
I think it took her all of 6 seconds to empty the whole basket. And there was a lot of grass in there!
You can just tell from her expression that she is having the time of her life.
Whew! All done. Now it’s Mommy’s job to clean up.
