what I did for my kids.

I am one of those silly mothers who still likes to do Easter Baskets for her children, even though they are 21, 18 and 17. This year, I bought James one that is shaped like a basketball. He had asked for a new nurf basketball goal that goes over his bedroom door, so I picked up one of those, got him some candy and put those in plastic easter eggs shaped like basketballs. I went to the sporting goods store, and picked him up a new coach's whistle (he coaches elementary basketball and soccer), six new pairs of Nike socks and a Chicago Bulls baseball cap. In Kristen's I did everything dance related. Instead of getting her an Easter basket, I got her a new make-up caddy. In it I put Pink sparkly eggs, a new charm for her charm bracelet, some new scunchies for her hair, a t-shirt that says I love to dance, a new cd that she wanted and a pink Beanie Baby Pig (She collects them). Lauren is in the middle of softball, but is also a senior, so I kind of combined the two. The Dollar Store got all of their Class of 08 stuff in last week, so I loaded her up. Scrunchies, a bracelet, necklace and earrings that all say Sr. 08...a bumper sticker and air freshner for her car, and a cup for her morning hot chocolate. I bought her a blue t-shirt and had a softball embroidered on it with her name and number above and below it. I put it all on a tray that has softball's all over it. She had seen it at the dollar store a couple of weeks ago and made the comment that it would be really cool for her room to put her hair stuff on to get it off the top of her dresser. What age did you stop doing things for your children for Easter? Do you still enjoy getting things for easter?
