One thing that I've been wondering is, when did Easter become like Christmas?  I remember just getting a few items from the "Easter Bunny" and candy.  When did grandparents start giving gifts as well?  If we got anything from my grandma for Easter, it was money to buy some more candy with.  This is Michael's third Easter and every single one he's gotten presents from all three sets of grandparents.  Don't get me wrong, I'm happy that they got him the stuff they did (less for us to buy).  There's so much more to this holiday than getting gifts.

As you can see, the "Easter Bunny" went all out for Michael's basket.  Here's what he got:

  • 4 Disney Planes die casts (We got them at Target on sale!  They are regularly $5.49 each, but were on sale for $5 each.  That's not it!  It was also buy one, get one 50% off!)
  • Disney Junior DJ Shuffle CD (Got it 10% off with the Target Cartwheel app.)
  • 3 small water guns (bought this at Michaels a few years ago)
  • 1 Mickey Mouse Clubhouse bouncy ball (bought at the Dollar Tree)
  • 3 Hot Wheels cars (on sale at Walmart for $0.84)
  • 4 pairs of socks (bought at Target and Michaels for $1.00 each)
  • 2 square wash clothes (bought at the Dollar Tree)
  • 4 suckers (he'd been asking for them every time we go to Walmart.  They were $0.50 each)

Some of the eggs had his Monster fruit gummie snacks in them.  I bought three bags of candy at the Dollar Tree, a bag of Reese minis, and a bag of Starburst jelly beans from Walmart.

Last year the "Easter Bunny" hid eggs around the main level of the house and it went over so well that he decided to do it again this year.  Here's the video we took last year of Michael looking for the eggs.


This year, it took a little longer for Michael to find all the eggs.  Loved it so much that yesterday he wanted me to hide the eggs in the backyard!

Before he was interested in searching for eggs, we went to church and he had a fun time playing with all the other toddlers in the toddler room.  Then we went home and got him out of his nice church clothes and started searching for eggs while we waited for my brother.

Instead of making a traditional Easter lunch, the boys decided to go to Texas Roadhouse.  Michael played with his new cars and ate some rolls.

We came back home and since the weather was nice, played outside.

How was your Easter?  What special things did you do?  Did you make a traditional Easter meal of ham/turkey?  I really wanted some ham, but Jon and Charles decided they wanted steak.
