I remember for, like, 3 years in a row, I won the Easter Egg Hunt!! I got a stuffed bunny (or two) every year!
I remember dying eggs in our kitchen, the smell of vinegar mixed with the PAAS dye. I remember when I first learned to write on the eggs with white crayon before putting it in the dye. I thought I was an ARTIST, OK?! I made a personalized egg for everyone in the family.
I remember making Easter baskets. My least favorite thing: the chocolate bunnies that had the blue and yellow candy eyes... that mess was disturbing. I gave mine to my sister every year.
I remember my mother and I having our first "disagreement" about what dress to buy for Easter. My mother wanted me in a little black and white suit. I wanted this BEAUTIFUL dress with sheer layers and flowers. IT WAS BEAUTIFUL. My mother said she wouldn't buy it. HA! My grandfather bought it for me!!!
And lastly, though I really can't remember it, my fondest "memory" is that I was born on Easter Sunday (something I have in common with one of our Founders
). My birthday has not fallen on Easter since. This year it comes quite close, though, this Saturday, April 14th. Mark your calendars, LOL!
