Yeah, I didn't know they are apparently illegal because a lot of the ethnic grocery stores by me sell them. The stores are clearly owned by the mafia.

My co-workers and I may or may not have some kinder toys displayed on my desk.

Seriously though, someone posted that their Kindereggs were taken away at the airport. Say what?

That sounds fun! I want an egg with a toy in it.

Easter is ON the boys' birthday.

We're having my mom do their baskets growing up so it'll be a complete surprise for us, too!!!

Our kiddo will only be a few weeks old, but I couldn't resist.  I want some photos of him in his basket, and propped up next to it.  I also know I will be happy a few years from now knowing he's had his basket since his first Easter.  I'm a sap!

We bought these Skip Hop bath ducks: www.amazon.com/Skip-Hop-Dunks-Stacking-Yellow/dp/B0041RRX6M/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1363276204&sr=8-1&keywords=skip+hop+bath

And these chirping egg toys: www.amazon.com/Tomy-TY1581-Hide-Squeak-Eggs/dp/B00068Q7LC/ref=sr_1_2?s=baby-products&ie=UTF8&qid=1363276303&sr=1-2&keywords=eggs

Here's the personalized basket we ordered: www.personalizationmall.com/Blue-Personalized-Easter-Baskets-for-Boys-i30459.item?productid=10760&storeid=29&categoryid=1479&sdest=dept&sdestid=1479

I haven't really thought about it. DD2's birthday is this weekend and I can only think about one celebration at a time.

Maybe a book apiece, some eggs with candy or fruit snacks or marshmallows. Bubbles? A wind-up toy apiece? Headbands?

What this means is that I will go to Target and throw a bunch of random stuff in my cart and that will end up in their baskets.

Or wait.. this could be an excuse to get that hot air balloon romper TrudyCampbell. I need Easter gifts, right?! lol

Yesss! That's my new excuse too!

Wait, kinder eggs are illegal in the US? We always get them at a German deli that my husband's grandparents used to own.

I just want to do a quick plug for See's Rocky Road eggs. One will be in *my* Easter basket this year. We also do a basket for the huskies, which will include egg shaped cookies from the pet bakery and a squeaky toy. Maybe some greenies and beggin strips to fill things out.

Edith and Freddie are each getting a book, a couple of small toys, Annie's cheddar bunnies, and a movie. Edith is also getting Annie's bunny fruit snacks which I'll put in a couple of plastic eggs. And probably some stickers. And if I can find some sugar free candy, I'll throw some in Edith's basket as well.

A 100-piece puzzle of the planets, Lego's (this kid never gets enough), a small green race car he wants.
Other stuff will probably be Brain Quest cards (he loves these), Candyland, a couple of books and probably quite a bit of candy.

We're getting a swimming pool this summer so Easter baskets will be filled with pool related goodies. A swim suit for each kiddo, as well as some pool toys and a little candy. Its not Easter without candy!

Side note- I think I'm more excited for the pool than the kids, lol!

I always go overboard on holidays.

Jack is getting: Some candy, fruit snacks, a Batman t-shirt, Spiderman plate (he is obsessed), a water gun for the bathtub, Batman eggs stuffed with some jellybeans.

Cal is getting: A new sleeper, some bath toys, books from the $ section at Target, Goldfish crackers.

DH (yes I get a basket for DH): Sleep pants, and a shit ton of candy

[mommylikestattoos]

Almost 4yo DS- coloring book, crayons, water colors, stickers, bubbles, super hero ball, and assorted candy (chocolate bunny, peeps, ring pops, and some other stuff). Majority was purchased from the dollar store or Target.

DD will be 12 wks old- 3 pairs of socks, a toy to hang from her carseat, a small stuffed bunny.

We do a egg hunt for plastic eggs full of treats. I do candy and money normally. I have been thinking about branching out and adding stickers and toys.

Awwww, Easter is on DD1s birthday this year, too!  Very exciting!

I don't know what we're doing for the girls baskets yet.  Probably a little candy, bubbles, maybe some new books and a summer outfit.

DS is getting a lego set, Hershey's bunnies, jelly beans, and a spiderman kinder egg

DSD is 17, so probably just a candy bar and some article of clothing. Her birthday is April 5th, so we wont go nuts.

We still hide eggs for both of them with money in them.
