It’s evident all over the country (Yep, Even in Minnesota!) that winter is coming to an end, and spring is on it’s way! Spring means Easter – one of my favorite times of year. I love the idea of Easter egg hunts, pretty dresses, bow ties, and all things bunnies and chicks and cuteness all around. Being that I’m a Dental Hygienist, you’d guess that Easter would be one of my least favorite holidays ~ but it’s not! I even break down and get my boys each a little bit of candy… not much though. Definitely nothing sticky! I try to stick to shopping only at Toys’R’Us for Easter – and that keeps me pretty focused away from the candy isles.
This year, Babies’R’Us is celebrating the little ones with an in-store event! Babies’R’Us may not be your first thought of places to get your Easter gear – but they are stocked with everything parents and gift-givers need to make this Easter extra special. It’s so fun to look back at all those great Easter photos we have and love. I always try to have a small candy trail leading from the boys’ beds up to their prize… so when they wake up, they eat their way up to a fun present! I remember how excited Andrew was when he found the Easter Basket that Grandma hid out back! 
This was Ethan’s first Easter as well – and we did a super fun activity at Church – and he was able to find (And suck on) a few of his own eggs! 
This Saturday, March 28th from 10-11am – parent’s can bring their little bunnies to Babies’R’Us stores nationwide for a festive celebration! There will be Interactive activities for the family, a bunny hop around the stores, photo opportunities and craft and story time, too! There will also be some fantastic giveaways featuring Pampers – to cover those little bums so they don’t messy-up their outfits!!!
