I got my kids each a gift for their baskets, on sale...free shipping....and for Luke that meant a BOGO Little Tykes truck! He will have a great basket! My 12 year old DS is getting a Lego build an airplane set; he loves Legos. And my 8 year old DD is getting a Crayola modeling stuff set. So, if we have a rainy day during Easter vacation, they'll have something to do that does not involve the TV or Nintendo!

That, and a "sleeve" of Peeps is all that comes in each basket. Then we have an Easter Egg Hunt. Each kid gets to find 1 dozen eggs. 1 child gets speckled eggs, 1 gets regular eggs and Luke gets "big" eggs because I'm afraid he'd stick the parts of the little eggs in his mouth and choke

Inside the eggs the kids will find an assortment of:
pack of fruit snacks
handful of Goldfish crackers
handful of "bunny marshmallows" (Kraft makes them)
2 or 3 mini-Reese's cups or peppermint patties

The Easter Bunny leaves a funny note telling the kids whose eggs are which color/size, and what room they might find them in.

Normally I try to get them some sort of religious gift but I had sick kids all last week, and I lost my shopping time. I think we're going to try making Resurrection Cookies this year though.
