Is this cheesy? ( Easter related)
I bought beautiful baskets last yr and they cost a pretty $ I was thinking of telling the kids we need to leave the basket out on the table for the Easter bunny to fill them ! Do you think it's cheesy?

Not at all! That's what we did every year growing up. I can't imagine buying a new basket each year!

Re: Is this cheesy? ( Easter related)
That is what my parents did every year.
We would leave the baskets out on the table, and the Easter Bunny would fill it with grass and candy. (Never got any toys)

Re: Is this cheesy? ( Easter related)
funny thaat you should post this...I was thinking of getting DS a personalized "nicer" basket next year, and was thinking that I would do the same....tell him that we need to leave the basket out. I think it makes perfect sense

I agree. And my brother and I are STILL very attached to our easter baskets although mine got ruined in a flood! 
I loved hte tradition so last year I bought DS a nice basket and we will use that every year!

Re: Is this cheesy? ( Easter related)
Ok I totally love you for posting this. I suspect Joseph is going to check the closet where he found last year's baskets & eggs - and didn't know how to handle it & I'll be damned if I'm buying more baskets.
Last year he suggested I store the eggs from our hunt in the closet that we keep plastic eggs in
Genius!! Thank you! Thank you!

Re: Is this cheesy? ( Easter related)
I wanted to add to this post about eggs. My parents left out the hardboiled eggs in the carton, and the plastic eggs for the Easter Bunny to hide. The Easter Bunny filled all of our plastic eggs with candy, and hid them.
So there was never any questioning why there where eggs and baskets in the house. They were there so the Easter Bunny didn't have to carry them. They were already at our house.

No. My kids get the same basket every year. My MIL made them and they are beautiful.

Good idea !! Im always trying to remember where the heck I hid them ,and trying to remember where 12 eggs are for me is not so good

Re: Is this cheesy? ( Easter related)
We've done this EVERY year! They love it!
This year their baskets are kind of destroyed so we got new ones... but next year we go right back to leaving out the baskets!

Re: Is this cheesy? ( Easter related)

Re: Is this cheesy? ( Easter related)
My parents always used the same baskets and we NEVER noticed or even paid attention. Kids forget a lot in a year.....

Re: Is this cheesy? ( Easter related)
Um, to me, that is what you do.....you use the same basket every year.
Believe me, the landfills (our earth) will thank you for recycling....
