Filling Easter Baskets
Every Year my kids use the same Easter Baskets. They set them out on the Dining Table and the Easter Bunny fills them up in the middle of the night with all sorts of Easter Goodies. It's was a tradition that we had been doing since my kids were really little. They really looked forward to finding out what can fit into it.
