Did you check the bathtub?
Look in the closet!
Behind the couch!
Under the table!
When my two children were growing up (and even when they were grown up and home for a visit), Easter morning meant hunting for Easter baskets.
During the Easter Bunny era, it involved more and more intricate hiding places as they got older. The thrill of the hunt was paramount.
The E.B. had to get extra creative (hence the bathtub)…or else the search was over in ten seconds.
After all, the E.B. filled four baskets with carefully selected jelly beans, chocolate bunnies, candy eggs and small stuffed bunnies. As the years went by…basketball cards, little books, stickers, trinkets & puzzles were added…
…so let’s make it a challenge! (thought the E.B.)
The E.B. was usually successful…and a sweet family tradition was born.
The sister and brother team eventually figured out where to look…every time.

Awwwww…great memories, great photos, and a great tradition. We did the same thing, and we still do it if they come back home to visit on that day. 😉 We also hide eggs, and have forgotten where they were hidden, have you ever forgotten where you hid something?

Thanks! It’s a fun tradition – and yes, I’ve forgotten where I hid things (esp gifts bought ahead of time).

LOL – I’ve done the same thing too!!! I’m wondering now if I hid something that I was supposed to give at Christmas. It’ll save me a shopping trip if I find some. 😉
