"EggHunts" news and stories

Easter is my favorite holiday. It is not that I am a devout Catholic and strictly adhere to the Lenten rules, though I do find solace in the sense of renew the season brings, rather it is the feeling of freshness that comes with Easter that never fails to raise my spirits after the long, cold winter. Even if I did not have children I would likely color eggs and create baskets just for fun. One of my favorite Easter traditions is the peek-a-boo sugar eggs. I have many memories of treasure hunts that ended with the discovery of my basket which always contained one of these treasures. The eggs are edible in the same way that a gingerbread house is edible, you can eat them but they are fairly gross and stale. But for a child it is absolutely amazing to sit and ponder just how exactly the Easter Bunny was able to create the sugary orb and insert the candy animals inside.
