Easter Bunnies!

Every year, Easter bunnies take over the Country Club Plaza in Kansas City. They are currently out in full force! I get to drive past these cuties every day on my way to the store. Evidently, the Easter bunnies in the Plaza tradition started in the 1930s and is still going strong.

They even have names! Pictured are Peter and Sue. There's also Lee, Bess, Amy, Nicholas, Ellyn, and Kate. How cute!

I miss Easter as a child. My grandmother always made an egg hunt for us. She would use those pastel plastic eggs, and put change in them. A few lucky grandchildren even found dollar bills in their eggs.

She continued this tradition with my daughter. Usually, we would have the egg hunt indoors. Missouri is still sometimes cold in late March and early April. Grandma would hide eggs in the plants, above door frames, and even in the dog bowl! She would count the eggs every year before she hid them, and there would always be at least one egg left unfound. Grandma was such a good egg hider that even she could not find all of them!

We still continue this tradition in our house, even though Grandma is no longer with us. Autumn still looks forward to Easter. She always gets a huge chocolate bunny, which she starts asking for as soon as the Easter candy hits the grocery store shelves. She likes to receive cute stuffed animals in her basket.

What are your Easter traditions?
