The earliest Easter memory that I have occurred before my adoption. I was "back home" (aka living with my birth mother). Children's Aid had given all 4 of us Easter baskets (I have no idea how I knew it was Children's Aid, I would have been 3). I dragged my basket EVERYWHERE! When I talked to my birth sisters about this memory they said I probably dragged the basket everywhere so they (my sisters) wouldn't eat my candy.
My next Easter memory was not so pleasant. I was 7. My sister Grace had made me a treasure hunt with clues to find my Easter presents (Grace has ALWAYS spoiled me). After finding everything I went to show my mom what the Easter Bunny had brought me. It was then my mom told me that my parents were getting a divorce. Thanks for ruining Easter mom! The other kids would come into the room to find out why I was crying. My parents told the 7 year old first!
The next Easter that I have memories of I was about 21. My dad decided that for Good Friday everyone was going to the zoo. What a big crowd that was! It was crazy, all the kids, babies. etc. The funniest part is when we got to the Lion enclosure. The Lion's were mating, my nieces and nephews all asked what was happening. They were told to "ask grampa". My dad was quite embarrassed. The idea of going to the zoo every Good Friday just did not catch on.
This Easter was cute. Robbie is very into any holiday, Easter was no exception. Robbie wanted to know where the Easter Bunny lived. I asked him where he thought the Easter Bunny lived. Robbie decided that the Easter Bunny lived on a planet called "Leapon" and it took 5 days by a special chocolate rocket ship to get to Earth. Pretty smart little guy! What was also funny is we decided to put coins in Robbie's eggs. I went to Sean to get some change. All he had was nine cents. Luckily Sean's friends were over and they gave Robbie some more money.
Waiting to see what the Easter Bunny brought:

It was interesting reading your memories. Its funny the things we remember. I remember one Easter a long time ago at my great-grandmothers house when my older cousin was hiding eggs for us.
And then a I remember when I was 12.. I was living with my grandparents at the time and my grandfather had hid an easter basket for me.. I thought he was playing a mean trick on me because he got me all excited and hyped up that I was going to get something. But in the back of my mind I kept thinking it was a cruel trick and that I wasnt getting anything.. Then I found a basket and I was excited.. There ended up being 2 baskets.
I dont know why those two stick out in my head but really its the only ones I can remember. It funny how my family (mum dad, sisters, etc) arent in any of my Easter memories.. As far as I know we didnt celebrate.. but I know we did..
Anyway Robbie looks cute as always! I hope you guys enjoyed Easter
Glad you had a good Easter with Robbie. Kids make the holidays a lot of fun. Crazy sometimes...but their excitement is fun.
Looks like Robbie was well taken care of this Easter ;-)
LOVE your new blog look - it's so Spring!
That picture of Robbie wearing the bunny ears is priceless! What a cutie-pie!
