Scary Easter Bunny

This post is a little over due...but it was too funny not to share...
Just a little background: This year on Christmas Eve we told Nina that Santa was coming...she was beyond excited!! Christmas morning she came out of her room and was super disappointed that Santa wasn't at our house. She thought he would be there to play with her...So the day before Easter...being the "wonderful" mom that I am...I thought I would avoid the upset by telling her that the Easter Bunny would come while she was asleep and leave candy for her. I was totally surprised by her reaction...She cried and said "Easter Bunny Scary!!" She kept saying it over and over again...along with "Easter Bunny no come!!" She was basically hysterical about it and wouldn't go to bed...she was so scared. We finally had to have her watch us lock the front door and we let her lock her bedroom door so she would go to bed. I guess if you stand back and think about it a strange creature sneaking into your house at night hopping around and leaving things is kind of scary. The next morning she was mortified to find baskets of candy at our house. Granted...she had no problem eating the candy, but she still thinks the Easter Bunny is scary and should not be allowed in our house.

Too funny. I'm glad she was able to overcome the fear and at least eat the candy. Poor Nina! She's such a sweetie!
