We still get them! Filled with sees candies and lots of other Easter goodies. And we also still have an Easter egg hunt. Unfortunately I can't attend so I'm really hoping people throw me some eggs over the fence!

I loved it. The hiding spaces got increasingly harder the older we got (in the attic, out in the shed, etc.). I can't wait to be able to do this with DS! sorrycharlie on "did you get easter baskets as a child?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-get-easter-baskets-as-a-child#post-674768 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 17:48:57 +0000 sorrycharlie 674768@https://boards.hellobee.com/ we did! we never had them hidden though - I've never heard of that! my parents - oops, the bunny - hid eggs that we had to find. mrsjyw on "did you get easter baskets as a child?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-get-easter-baskets-as-a-child#post-674748 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 17:41:51 +0000 mrsjyw 674748@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @mrskc: hahaha MIL did an egg hunt for DH and I the past few years; she's so excited to have DS be a part of it now illumina on "did you get easter baskets as a child?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-get-easter-baskets-as-a-child#post-673539 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 12:12:22 +0000 illumina 673539@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @travelgirl1: your post reminded me of the "limit of 16 eggs" sign they have by the Easter eggs in Tesco at the moment. I know someone could be buying them to give out at work... But the thought of the average person shoving 16 into their trolley at once makes me laugh! mrskc on "did you get easter baskets as a child?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-get-easter-baskets-as-a-child#post-673489 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 11:57:19 +0000 mrskc 673489@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Yep!

Two! The Easter bunny visited us at both my parents and my grandparents house! Easter was always a big deal... My DH couldn't believe that we still had baskets and egg hunts when he first came on the scene (our late teens/early twenties!)

I rarely see them in Canada but my fave back home were Cadbury Buttons, Smarties and Milky Bar Buttons eggs, yum! birdofafeather on "did you get easter baskets as a child?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-get-easter-baskets-as-a-child#post-673426 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 11:36:32 +0000 birdofafeather 673426@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We got baskets every year with my mom hiding them and saying hot and cold as we tried to find them! Even in college! But my sister is 6 years younger than me, so we did it to make sure she had it all growing up too! teamjse on "did you get easter baskets as a child?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-get-easter-baskets-as-a-child#post-673268 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 11:00:18 +0000 teamjse 673268@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Nope, however we were taught that Easter was not about bunnies and eggs. We were to learn the true meaning of Easter, Christian family. rachiecakes on "did you get easter baskets as a child?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-get-easter-baskets-as-a-child#post-673267 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 11:00:15 +0000 rachiecakes 673267@https://boards.hellobee.com/ yes! my mom still makes me one, haha Dandelion on "did you get easter baskets as a child?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-get-easter-baskets-as-a-child#post-673266 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 11:00:09 +0000 Dandelion 673266@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I still get baskets! My mom loves to make them for us, still. Also, not only does ds get one from Easter bunny, but we give one to our niece, and my SIL gives one to ds, and my mom gives one to all of us, so there's lots of basket exchanging in our family. Plus, my MIL loves to give us Easter goodies, too, lol.

The easter bunny (aka dad) would hide the eggs while we were at church. My brothers and I would search for all the eggs and chocolates and whatnot, then we would dump everything out on the living room floor and make sure it was divided evenly.

I always wanted to win one during school lunches though! They put a sticker under two trays and if you had a stickered tray, you win the basket!
