It's a Bunny Thing

Gotta love Spring time

and all things Bunny.

(my "holiday shelf" for Easter/Spring)

Last week we did the Candy-Easter-Thing

while we were at Gramma's

and with the boys.

I really like that we did it all

the week before Easter.

I think it will give Easter Sunday

more meaning.

One of our Easter traditions,

which I'm sure many people have,

is the Bunny Cake.

(The 2009 cake)

I have been making this cake

for many, many years.

(1994-Ft. Irwin, CA)

And I've taken a picture

pretty much every year.

I won't bore you with pictures of

All Those Cakes.

(the 2000 Bunny)

Our tradition has been to have a party

on the Saturday before Easter

(the 2003 Bunny)

And we'd play games

and have an egg hunt

and have Bunny Cake

(the 2006 Bunny)

Last year

I was going to simplify my life

and not make the cake.

But my grown son asked me

if I was going to make

the Bunny Cake.

So I did.

This is the first,

the original,

the One-That-Started-This-Long-Tradition

Bunny Cake

from 1988.

Nico was 2 1/2 years old and

Samo was almost 1 year old.

Twenty-one years of Bunny Cakes.

That ought to count for something...
