I am really glad the got her an Easter basket. sm
why in the world should she have to defer to her birthday? It is a totally different thing.
I got an Easter basket up to 16 or so, loved it - sm
yes, I know it was from my parents, but it was still fun every year. My mom knew Easter was my favorite holiday and didn't begrudge me a basket because I was too old. I'd ask her next time if she would still like to get a basket or not, I think her mom would be surprised by the answer. As for the teeth, as long as she brushes properly cavities should not be an issue. If she has not yet had enamal painted on her back teeth your daughter should talk to the dentist. They now paint the back teeth with an enamal, cure it with UV light and it seals the back teeth from getting cavities. Costs me aboutr $34 a tooth but worth every penny. I've paid about $225 between my 2 to have it done. Think its a wonderful idea. My 1 has had 3 cavities (she's 8) but 2 were on baby teeth; the other one has none (7). --As for the competition that is hard to quash, my DH does it to me and we are married. He wants the kids to "like" him. It is a pain in the butt and I deal with it the best I can but I don't overly worry about it. I have good kids who listen to me and that is what counts.
Yes he is - and he deserves a ring!
I am a New Englander and now very well liked right now as I was rooting for Peyton (hate greedy people - LOL)!
anyway - what a great game - glad I'm still alive after cheering for Peyton!
That's great! I know that everyone down there deserves it...sm
after all that has happened with the tornado.
Adam deserves the win
But America is voting, and "niceness" and mediocrity ofen wins out over raw, unbridled creativity and talent. It just turns a lot of people off. People gravitate toward the familiar and comfortable, and that's what Kris is. Nice voice, pleasant personality, but compared to Adam, like sitting back and watching the grass grow. Adam will be a huge star, win or lose. At this point, it doesn't really matter who wins.
talk her into annulment - she deserves better!!!..nm
Yes, he deserves a gift. This is a great

basket sm
A few of us chip in, buy a lovely woven basket with gingham trim and buy tiny clothes pins at the dollar store. Then buy different size clothing because they outgrow so much. Buy a clothesline at the dollar store, remove wrapping from all, onesies, bibs, nightgowns, PJ's, whatever, leave the wrappers and slips in the bottom of the basket, hang the items on a clothesline and gently place the items on the clothes line, cover over with a receiving blanket, put a clothespin on the end of the clothes line, stick it out from under the covering item with a little "pull me" sign, then when she tugs on the line all the items come out and brings lots of oohs and ah's. It works and it's fun. Use neutral colors if you don't know the baby's sex.
I usually buy a bathtub or basket...sm
and fill it with baby advil, tylenol, anbesol, wipes, diapers, one of those things you put your bottles and cups in for the dishwasher, a couple of cheap teething toys, baby washcloths, spoons, pacifiers, socks. Sippy cups, bowls with lids. It is all pretty little stuff, but it is practical stuff they will use. Then I try to get a little candle or scented lotion for mommy. I like the idea of a restaurant giftcard or a walmart card so they can get what they need. Have fun with it!
Gift basket sm
Google Dana Farber in Boston. They have a gift shop there. This may come in handy later when she starts chemo/radiation. For now, I would keep it light,perhaps a Women's Magazine that won't mention cancer, i.e., Martha Stewart, Real Simple. If she's having radiation, they are fussy about what kinds of creams, etc., so stay away from that. Gift certificates for pick-up by her family, hard candy, word search books,movie rental gift certificates. I would keep it upbeat for now and later when she starts treatment, she may need turbans, etc., that's when the web sites will come in handy. Think positive, a little angel something or other would be nice. And stay away from the "if there is anything I can do" stuff, just "do it." Sounds like you are doing just that. God bless you for it!
basket of food or spa goodies?
Some puppy gift basket ideas.
1. Collar, maybe with personalize ID tag with name and owner contact info.
2. Leash.
3. Flea collar.
4. Flea powder.
5. Puppy-friendly flea shampoo.
6. Grooming brush.
7. Spray-on coat conditioner. Some come with nice fragrance.
8. Vitamins. They come in liquid and gel forms, usually flavored. Would not recommend pills.
9. Smoked dog bones (I think they are made of cowhide) appropriate for puppy's mouth size.
10. Chewy treats for training. My Shadow loved the cheese and/or bacon flavors.
11. Dog blanket.
12. Food and water bowls.
How about a big fresh and dried fruit and candy basket? nm

Easter
Why do Easter baskets have to be candy? I got my niece and nephew both baskets, with a chocolate bunny and then little things such as a 10 piece puzzle, jacks, bubbles,a paddle ball, a movie little things that they could play with today and more than likely be gone tomorrow, they seem to enjoy those things more than candy anyway. I have a birthday near a holiday and it is not a great feeling to a child to have to "skip" a holiday because her birthday is near, just my opinion.
Bath and Body Works gift certificate or basket can't go wrong for a girl. sm
i made a basket for my brother one year. i had no clue either, but he seemed to really like it. i did a "night at the movie" theme. filled the basket with snack things since all men i know like to snack, lol. i put in there popcorn, pringles, candy bars, fudge, drinks, gift certificates to Blockbuster, etc. men also like games like checkers, chess, dominoes, poker, etc so maybe a nice poker set or something?
Easter Dinner
Just read the post below about Easter dinner. I have a question I am almost embarrassed to ask - does anyone know an easy way to get the rind off the ham?
Need help with Easter dinner.
I am doing Easter at my house for the first time, as I am the only one with kids in my family. I am looking for something to do that is sort of traditional, but fun. My family does not like lamb, but all else if fair game. I would love any ideas to help me plan for my first real holiday feast!!! Thanks and hope you all have a great holiday!

Easter Plans
Going to my parents an hour away as usual. We're having pork roast and all the trimmings. Unfortunately, a sad time too. My aunt passed away this past week and my cousins are bringing her back for burial the day after Easter.
Easter is a really special time too. sm
daughters are a special blessing.
She wasn't going to do Easter for the girls, so they did. sm
It's ok. Every kid, even at that age, regarding you IMHO, deserves a great Easter basket. Get over it and stay out of it.
Ohh - PRETTY!!!! Don't think the Easter bunny
will put one of those in my basket this year though! :(
Yikes. It seems so soon. And I do not like it when Easter is in March.
Too chilly for the Easter dresses and no spring flowers out yet. Not a springy Easter Bunny feeling Here in Northern New Jersey just had 4 more inches added Friday from our previous 8, which had melted away and now the white stuff back on the ground. Probably will snow on Easter, although going to be in the mid 50s today. One can only hope.
What's on your Easter dinner menu?
 What's your favorite dish?

Much hope, happiness, and jelly beans! Makes my world!
