Here comes Peter Cottontail... or not

So I am thinking this is the last year that the Easter bunny will be 'real'. It's funny how kids can think that the Easter Bunny is suddenly ridiculous. " Like a rabbit is really going to hop to everyone's house and bring candy". But that innocence is still there.  They want to believe it and will question, if in fact, it is really ridiculous or not. Of course it is ridiculous but we want to hold onto that ridiculousness for as long as possible. Once the Easter Bunny is not real (and Santa and the tooth fairy) it's all over.  Next they are too big for hugs, embarrassed to be seen with their parents (or aunt in this case), driving, going to college , marrying and having kids of their own who now believe in all of these things.

I am not ready for this ( I am sure some parents out there disagree and are more than ready to stop pretending) .  Someone make it stop! I want them young forever. I like them this way.
