We always had Easter nests growing up and made them outside and the Easter bunny would put treats in them. One year we found newborn baby rabbits in ours at Grandmas house. To say we were excited is putting it mildly! At Easter Sunrise service we told all our little friends. Of course they didn't believe we had real live Easter bunnies so we told them to come see after church. They came and saw nothing! Dad said the Mommy bunny came and took them home with her. He told me many years later the dogs ate them..... I wish he hadn't.
On a happier note ... for dinner we had ham, asparagus, plenty more and ended with carrot cake with little green coconut nests on top filled with tiny jellybeans. For church a new dress sewn by Grandma and of course a hat.
We hoped it didn't snow, but sometimes did and we celebrated anyway bundled up and digging the eggs out of the drifts.
When my own children came along I always sewed matching outfits for them at holidays. Wonderful memories :)
