Candy is rare in our house, so I collect a bunch of fun chocolates (like the carrot- and egg-shaped ones), along with sticker sets that come in large plastic eggs and small games. We sit together to ooh and ahh over them the night before and to count them out. Last year, there were 44 pieces to find. I have zero bedtime drama that night. Glory!!

They let me sleep in (it's my favorite part of the game) and then make themselves scarce and talk strategy once I'm up.

I hide everything after I've had a cup of coffee, then sit on the sofa and watch the games begin! They know how many things they're supposed to find. My favorite part is hearing one them find something meant for the other and yelling for them to cover over and collect it. It shows they're a team. I cheer. Sometimes we play hot and cold, when they've almost finished and have just a few more to find.

This year, I got two golden eggs and put five dollars in each. That'll be new! It's the only time of year they get jelly beans or lollipops. We don't consider chocolate "candy" in our house. Hey! It's good for the heart, right?!! :)

They play the games, trade and count the candies they get to eat (depending on the size, it can be as many as 10), and I enjoy a second cup of coffee. I prepare for the stomach aches and sugar rushes to come. The rest of the candy gets handed out as two pieces for each a day until it runs out.

They've never believed in the Easter bunny or Santa Claus or any of that stuff.
