Thinking ahead here for the first time in a long time. Do you do Easter gifts for your children? Do you put them in their basket or do you leave it out of them. I usually get small toys and candy to put in their basket. They do not think there is some magical bunny that leaves them baskets. I try to get the toys and candy on sale as well. It’s hard to fund the Easter bunny some times.
Yes, I am a Christian and I do give Easter Baskets. It’s a tradition my family enjoys and because I enjoyed it so much as a child I am doing it with my children too. Aren’t traditions wonderful things? I love making cookies at Christmas with my kids. We also make a big cake for Easter and they love that too. Traditions are what you make them into with your family. Traditions mean so much to children. It’s a way for them to look forward and know what is coming and anticipate it.
Easter Gift Baskets are a wonderful way to celebrate Easter with your children. We have an Easter egg hunt and a big family dinner. Traditions are something to be anticipated by you and your children. It adds meaning to the mundane things of day to day life. Do you have a favorite tradition that you do with your children or family?

I used to do Easter Baskets when my kids were little, but now that they are grown I tend not to do it anymore – but reading this post brings back memories of the days when they were little so maybe I’ll surprise them this year and bring back the Easter Basket!
