Easter Egg Trauma
I’ve learned over the years to hang onto the plastic eggs from Easter Egg hunts because each year I end up having to fill the eggs for some event or another. This year, my daughter’s preschool class is doing their egg hunt again next week. I haven’t heard a word about my son’s class and whether they are doing one or not, but God forbid I should fill plastic eggs for her and not for him. This morning he was sobbing because he was afraid his class wouldn’t have a hunt. I’ve filled eggs for him, too, but we’ll see what they do. It’s hard to believe that silly little eggs mean so much to a five-year-old.
When they were little, the hardest part was figuring out what to fill the eggs with. They’ve had egg hunts even for the barely-walking kids, and a few parents got creative and filled them with animal crackers. 
Personally, I’m a fan of chocolate. 
In our neighborhood, sometimes there’s an Easter egg hunt, sometimes not. This year there is, but it conflicts with the Little League Opening Day. I just hope my kids don’t find out about the neighborhood hunt they’re missing.
One of our traditions in our household is an indoor Easter Egg hunt after Mass on Easter Sunday. My husband and I hide the eggs all over the house and then when we get back, the kids find their baskets and go looking for eggs. Some of the “must haves” in my own basket include Cadbury’s Creme Eggs. Mmmmm….:bow2u:
How about you? What are your Easter holiday favorite candies?

Hands down, it’s Cadbury Mini Eggs. But I’ve been good this year and haven’t bought any - thankfully, a co-worker brought a bag to work, so I’ve munched on a few!

I used to do the same thing with my two girls. When they got in their teens I added change or diferent surprises written on paper and any chocolate or jelly beans that would fit with my favorite being chocolate covered marshmellows. I miss those days

We do the Easter egg hunt after Mass too. I love the reese’s egg-shaped peanut butter cups. I also love the robin egg malted milk balls.
