Next year I'll do it up right. We did, however, attend the annual Easter egg hunt at a friend's house...562 plastic eggs hidden in knee-deep snow. They loved it, but sadly this year scoffed at the costumed bunny. I only hid 6, which my dog found during the night. Next year I’ll do it up right.

Didn't hear him "make one hop!" That's classic. T-Rex sounds adorable. Didn’t hear him “make one hop!”

That’s classic.

Worth staying up hiding them and their baskets - dad worked the late night shift so it was up to mom to do the work! Although unlike you Susan, I used plastic eggs - I have the real eggs (3 dozen mind you - such a sucker for coloring eggs!) in the refridge....my husband loves hard boiled eggs so I will save a few for him and make some egg salad for lunches ... !!!

I'll be sad when she's too old for that.

Enjoy not having to do this stuff while Toddler is still at the stage when she doesn't expect it. I shouldn't complain. My kids, particularly Drama Girl, are on the edge of not believing and the thought of that alone makes me get misty-eyed. Burgh Baby’s Mom: You are NOT a slacker!

I figured that at two, I can't count on the Toddler to actually look for them. I'm not feeling like going on a hunt myself. Way to impress the kids! I’m such a slacker–I didn’t hide any eggs.
