Easter bunny…
Letter from the easter bunny. (On snoopy paper!)
`Hey Lulu, this is the Easter Bunny. Sorry I am a bit late but I had trouble getting the ceiling fan in the envelope so I decided to just send the eggs. You will just have to throw the eggs in the air. Lots of love, Bugs.`
************************************************************************************
I received a package in the mail yesterday. Last week I asked my dad to send some easter chocolates for me to give the kids at school. We are actually studying Easter a bit late because the real easter was over Spring break. Plus I am pretty sure Orthodox churches celebrate a week later anyway..so we figured it was OK!!!
When I was younger (Actually technically until I was 17 and went to Japan!) my father hid about 200 eggs every year. Sure, when we were younger we thought it was the easter bunny but as we got older and no longer believed in the easter bunny he would still hid the eggs, bunnies, presents etc every year. (I am not exaggerating by saying 200 eggs, I swear sometimes it was more!) As he got older too he started to write down were he hid them so that we wouldn`t find any two weeks later when cleaning the house etc!!!
Before he had the great idea to write down where he hid eggs though one easter when I was about 10 or 11, my brother and I woke up early and started hunting. After finding about 180 eggs we thought…`yep that`s it, we have them all!` and Dad agreed. It was actually quite a hot easter that year. We were still using the ceiling fans during the day at least.
Well my mum, later on Easter Sunday (or possibly even the next day) turned on the fans only to be showered in easter eggs (solid ones!). Yep that is right, my father had had the brilliant idea to hide eggs on top of the fans. But then forgot he had done it.
Needless to say the next Easter the first thing we did on Easter Sunday when we woke up was turn on all the fans in the house, (And look under the bottoms of chairs, it was around that time that dad also started sticky taping eggs to the bottom of chairs trying to trick us!!)
I think my dad might still have hidden eggs this year, and might in fact be waiting for me to come home next week so that I can hunt for them all!!!!

Heya! Why do you need Aussie chocolate eggs when (I have recently discovered), you have Pocky in Japan!!!!
(I work for a Japanese mining company and everytime one of the boys come back from a trip home they bring all these Japanese treats.)
*sigh* *dreams about Pocky*
Good point!!! But nothing beats cadbury chocolate eggs!
this year the orthodox and the catholics had easter on the same day.
i wonder where this tradition with bunnies comes from… we don’t have anything like that. though eggs are international, i guess.
hahahaha!!! thats so funny! your dad sounds so cute! my parents never did anything like when i was a kid. The only memory i have of a treasure hunt as a kid was at my 6th b’day party and I wasnt even allowed to participate because it was a game only for “guests”. I cried for hours LOL.
I’m going to steal your dad’s idea for when i have kids!
hope you’re enjoying your chocolate!!
My dad used to hide the eggs for me, my sister, and my cousins. Some years we’d find them days later. I think the best was when we realized that eggs could grow on trees!
Your Dad’s cute! 200 eggs is a lot, you must have been eating chocolate for weeks
