The Easter Basket

Happy Easter!  Growing up Easter was one of my favorite holidays.  My mother would never buy one of those prepackaged Easter baskets that they sell in stores.  She made one huge Easter basket for the entire family.  The basket would be layered with everyone’s favorite Easter candy and in the center was the huge chocolate bunny.  Now here was the catch.  The entire family could partake in the Easter basket but the chocolate bunny was all hers.  In fact, I remember waiting very impatiently for her to break off the bunny so   that we could all have a piece.  She would laugh and tell us that we had the whole basket so we could wait until she was ready.  Yup I learned to have a lot of patience waiting for the Easter Bunny.  Have a great holiday
