Happy Easter! Did you do anything fun to celebrate? We're not religious but we love traditions and the Easter Bunny will probably start visiting Rudy at home next year. I already have a stash of plastic eggs (I think it was wishful thinking that she might understand it this year.) and we'll probably fill them with stickers, bouncy balls, fun shoe laces and other treats.
Do you try to recreate your own childhood traditions with your children? I loved dying eggs (I loved crafts even back then) and I loved searching for eggs at home with my younger brother. Our Easter Bunny labelled them with our initials to keep things fair and they were always filled with little treasures.
I remember one year, the Easter Bunny left me a small unicorn figurine. It had a small heart tied around its neck and I treasured it because I felt that it meant the Easter Bunny loved me. Another year, I remember spending it with my cousins at their cottage. We collected clams and cracked them open, hoping to find pearls.
While Rudy probably won't remember the things we do for the next year or so, I think it's never too early to begin making our own family traditions. We took her to a farm today and she enjoyed collecting eggs, visiting the animals and riding on some of the bouncy toys.
Just in time for Easter, she seems to have discovered her giant rabbit toy that we bought for her before she was born. Here are a few of our favourite photos from the past weekend. Next stop: Passover!
