Get It, Quick!!!

Jeanie made me look for old pics.
This was... 1979??? 
See the tiny basket?
 
Ever seen what kids get these days from the "Easter Bunny"?
Huge, expensive toys, mostly.
 
We marched uphill in the snow to school, HA!  (kidding - but I remember 1977... so much snow I could not see the other side of the road, OK, I was small).
 
 
These days? Hunting?! Nope. Wrapped up nicely, that´s all.
 
We? Looking for it. And... Sharing...
 

 
 Wearing "nice clothes" - oh did I hate that!!!
Bro kept me busy, though.

 
Being the big Sis...
Add some years...
 

No one ever, till today, got it. 
I.Do.Not.Like.Sweets.
Dad, he can keep both chocolate bars!!! He can have the bunny, too...
 
See how Dad tries to get the chocolate out of his hands?
What did Mum do?
Take a pic.
My Mum, huh. Ours.

Wonder what Bro´s Daughters do today?

Sweets, pressies, just watching TV?
What are you doing, basket in hand, looking for... sweets, eggs, toys?

"Bunny was there, I bet!" - "Dad, I´m the hearty guy, chocolate is for you, if I find some."

It was a family fun day. Easter egg hunt.

I applaud your parents for buying wicker baskets, not plastic ones like kids get today.

I hope you had a nice Easter. We had a nice non-traditional dinner with my MIL. It was windy and cold, and so I took a short walk. Fun to see the old photos of you. Happy new week! hugs-Erika

Our grandchildren looked for eggs yesterday. It was super sweet, they shared everything with each other. No problems. Just like you and your brother

We always have chocolate at Easter. Yummm! for me, anyway.

Bill said...

Nice old photos and memories. You don't hear of many anti-chocolate people these days. :)

RedPat said...

We have lots of chocolate around here right now - for at least a few days.

Peace. Something we all wish for especially at the moment.

I buy myself some chocolate and take my time eating it.

Iris, I love every single photo! What a cute little girl you were. These are great.

On Easter (and Christmas stocking, too) as a kid, I would get marinated herring, olives and sardines. I loved those flavors and still do!
