...marshmallow eggs.

The bunny was always last.

My father would give my grandmother the money to put the Easter Baskets together.

We'd stop at my Grandmother's house after church, pick her up, and she'd bring the baskets.

Maybe the delay of having to sit through church had something to do with me becoming an atheist. (Just kidding...other things were involved.)
