I felt like such a grown up! Cadbury Eggs, gag! I cannot stand those things. But peeps? I could eat them every day of the year, I have such a sweet tooth.

I happen to like Peeps and I don't like the Cadbury Eggs. I'm not crazy about Easter egg hunts. I loved The Passion Live last year. I'm a fan of Peanut Butter Eggs. Look what I found:<br />Eating more than 57g (two ounces) of black liquorice a day for at least two weeks could lead to potentially serious health problems, such as an increase in blood pressure and an irregular heart rhythm (arrhythmia).

Oh cadbury eggs, need to go find one of those, it's been like 10+ years since I had one. Please come to my house and decorate eggs with my kids.

I can totally agree about the dressing up and getting a new dress for Easter. I loved our easter bunny because he'd hide things out in our lilac bushes. There would be colorful socks, kites, all kinds of things stuck outside. Of course the eggs were hidden and candies too. I've never been much for non-chocolate candies. I feel like there are a lot of seasonal candies I could eat one piece/bite of and it would last me years and years (peeps, candy corn, fudge... the list goes on!). I loved dyeing eggs, and the fun family meal. :) XO - Alexandra<br /><br /><a href="http://simplyalexandramyfavoritethings.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Simply Alexandra: My Favorite Things</a>Simply Alexandra // My Favorite Thingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10005714012822874818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36253142.post-10955693572225502442017-04-12T09:21:58.229-04:002017-04-12T09:21:58.229-04:00I miss getting Easter baskets.

We always reused the same baskets year after year too -- they were the ones with the long handle and maybe only 4 or 5 inches deep so when we ran around to collect eggs, the eggs would bounce out. Good times :) We'll probably dye some eggs this year - not sure. The kids aren't as into it anymore but some traditions shouldn't die!

I don't eat candy very often on a normal day, but I really dislike Cadbury eggs, peeps, and jelly beans. I don't really like pure chunks of chocolate either, so chocolate bunnies/chicks/crosses go uneaten with me.<br />We still dye eggs every year! Take a roadtrip up here on Friday and dye eggs with us! My youngest cousin is 9 so the five of us (not my brother most years since he's two hours away) usually get together at my grandma's and dye eggs every year!Audrey Louisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01593561585985740053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36253142.post-54457938063106433552017-04-12T08:45:57.703-04:002017-04-12T08:45:57.703-04:00I miss old Easter baskets.

It's a good thing I don't like black jelly beans and ya know what, I've never had a Cadbury egg! <br />When my grandma was alive, she would do a huge egg hunt for all us grandkids (11 of us). It was a mix of real and plastic eggs. All us older kids went for the plastic eggs because we knew there would be stuff inside! Aww, the memories. I miss not making an Easter basket for kids but I make one for Baylee and I sent an "Easter box" to my sister wit plastic eggs and goodies and.....it had easter grass in it!
