I haven't celebrated Easter in a long, long, long time. I can't remember the last time I dyed Easter eggs (in fact, I just asked my husband last night if you have to cook them first…duh!). But there's something about having a little one that makes you excited about all the things that you used to be excited about. Which is why I spent a ridiculous amount of money when I went to Target the other day.
Giant chocolate bunny? Of course O will one of need those.
Easter Pez dispenser? Need one of those too.
Lindt chocolate ducks? Well, actually I need some of those.
Needless to say, I'm a little excited for Easter this year. Last year, O wasn't walking yet and would not have understood the concept of looking for eggs. This year, O would stand on her head for another piece of chocolate (I wonder who she gets that from?) and so I know that she's going to be very excited by the idea of looking for Easter eggs. And I'm excited for her excitement
What a basket! How fun for baby O.
ReplyDeleteYup yup. Same boat. Bought the Lindt ducks too!
ReplyDeleteI keep laughing at myself for getting so excited about a holiday I don't technically observe! ;)
Oh you should see the boatload of crap I came home from Target with. We also have a unique situation with a blind 8 year old, a savvy 7 year old and a 20 month old experiencing his first real hunt. We enlist extra help with my mom and dad. The Easter Bunny gets a map posted on the front door with zones. Each child gets and area of the yard. It's all very technical and tiresome.
