How do you all do Easter Baskets?
I make baskets for all of the kids even when I was preggo that child/children got a basket to :)

Do you make sure every child has the same amount in each basket? I use to sit and count the jelly beans just to make sure every child got the same amount :lol Now I just fill the plastic eggs and put them all in one big basket known as 'Daddy's don't have to ask basket'. I still make sure they have the same amout of other stuff though and each child has the same number of toys.
Do you all do just candy or candy and gifts?

Yes we make our own baskets. Well you know not the actual baskets becasue the under water basket weaving class didn't go as well as I had hoped. But I do give equal amount to each kid and dh and I do count out everything maybe not jelly beans but everything else.
I am soo excited for easter I need to get shopping the yummy easter chocloate soon.

We fill our own baskets, though this year I may go with the premade ones :yep

I fill the baskets myself. My kids aren't that big on eating candy...so I usually get them a shirt and a toy and a little candy.

I do one great big family basket. and put some toys in it for the girls.

Well, they aren't getting an Easter basket this year. They opted for Bionicles instead. Which works for me...

Usually, they get a basket with a bionicle and some small toys and a handful of chocolate (since Q can have chocolate).

I fill my own baskets as well. I'm glad to know that I'm not the only one that counts Jelly Beans to make sure everyone gets an equal amount. :teehee Everyone gets their own basket. I even make one for myself. :lol

We fill baskets. Usually some eggs, a creme egg, a little bunny toy, a chocolate bunny and some kind of toy like a skipping rope or something. Then we fill the house with more eggs and they have a hunt.

THIS year I am not going to give them that much candy though...it tends to last months. :roll

[Dixie Momma]

My kids aren't big on chocolates and we really prefer them not to have candy anyway, so we don't usually do the premade ones.

We usually buy things like playdoh or small toys and a box of the Animal Crackers. Things like that.

My girls have had the same Easter baskets since they were babies which makes the baskets 19 and 17 years old. Each year I buy bags of candy and a special item (like a movie or cd) to put in it. I havent made baskets for the twins yet .. I'm such a slacker now that I'm older.
