Well if your kids are younger and you don't mind them having a pet, you could get them a bunny from the pet store.\nI wouldn't sugest sending that to your sisters kids though.

As a young child I was likely to find my Easter basket hidden behind a chair or some other easy to find place.\n\n One Easter though the bunny decided to give us a challenge and hid one in the dishwasher (clean, no dirty dishes in there) and the other in a clothes hamper that had never been used for dirty clothes. \n\nMass hysteria broke out as our parents heard our sobs that there were no baskets to be found, lol. With children of different ages you might want to color code the eggs, treats, and hide the ones for the older one in more difficult places. \n\nI once made a hunt for some nieces with written clues in rhyme to find the treats. At the location of the next treat was another slip of paper with a clue in rhyme for the next one, and so forth. Some treats were inside, some outside. They had a lot of fun, and so did I watching them.

:) Cadbury creme-filled eggs are definately a must-have Easter treat here in the States. Don't forget those Jelly-Belly Jelly Beans too.:) Happy Easter.

A magic show!  Those are always fun.  Not gorey or scary for your daughters.  Or a play.  There are lots of possibilities!\n\nPoetess777

It sounds like you had a wonderful mother and a good life. I'm sure you're giving your son all that and more. I guess if it were my son, I'd make sure he understood what Easter was all about by taking him to church or to see an Easter musical production or show.\n\nAnd...he may not be too old to leave half-eaten carrots with the tops left on...and some dirt...and little bunny tracks in the dirt...in the kitchen!\n\n:)\n\nADDITION: Thinking about your mom's great idea of using a crystal bowl, maybe you could use a bicycle helmet or a baseball cap with his favorite team's logo on it?

Baking them something is a good idea, especially the boys.  They always like to eat.  Maybe for your girlfriends make them a nice picture frame or pendant.

I love being home room mom , I am over my kids Christmas party also.  So far I have bought the biggest stockings I could find for there treat bags and I plan on making sure we fill them up. We want to try and have someone be Santa and have him give each child a present to open ( i am getting playdoh for everyone). We also let the kids draw names and let each kid  get who ever they draw a coloring book and crayons this way every one gets the same gift. We are going to have milk and cookies for snack . One of the games we are playing is you take Vaseline and rub a little bit around there mouth and then have them put ther face in a bowl of cotton balls and see who can get the biggest beard like Santa then as they come up we are going to take there picture so we can make frames to put them in as our craft and they will also have a special keepsake . These are just some of my ideas so far if you have some good ones and would like to share them Email me!!!!

His and Hers snow caps, scarfs, and gloves!  As parents, adults etc. When it is you scrapping off the cars in the morning or getting the kids into the car etc.  There is nothing better.  If you have the extra change you can even get them embroiered at a local sewing shop.  Check the Yellow Pages for seamstresses.  When  you call ask if they do embroiery, how much per word or letter, and how quickly they can have it done.  It would be a nice touch and shouldn't cost too much per letter.  In fact you could just get their initials! \n\n\nFor the Party, Why not try hot dogs for the main course instead of just the nachos.  Or you can get some: \nSmall cocktail franks and barbecue sauce.  Pour all contents into a crock pot and allow to simmer for about 2 hours b4 you serve.  \nThen serve chips and dip (Nachos would be good) \nFresh fruit with sweet chocolate dip.  \nHot Cocoa or Fruit Punch\nThese are tested on my kids and are inexpensive ways to feed several kids in a party type atmosphere.  They are also really good and good for them, (I know, boring mom stuff).  \nThe cupcakes sound like a really good idea!  There is a way to put a firework design on the tops in icing.  So that when you hand them out it will look nice and festive!  \n\nSounds like you have a good grasp at the age of 16 of what is truly important.  \nHope This Helps!\nAmy

Easter- of course coloring eggs, decorating cupcakes on Good Friday with other children because all of them are out of school.  \n\nChristmas-  we make ornaments,cookies for Santa, also allow your children to give away some of their toys to unfortunate children, soup kitchens

It'll be the 'little' things that count!  Hand-made, home-made anything by the kids is a big hit!!  Most of all I think the greatest gift is some 'mum time'.  An hour or two to do her favourite thing - bubble bath, read book/magazine, whilst having someone else doing the chores - BLISS!!!

Have you looked into Thrift Shops? They can have some neat toys and some good as new. \nAlso you can make items for them or together. Use things in nature like leaves, pinecones, sticks etc. Books at your local library will give you plenty of ideas. Check one out.\n\nYou can go caroling, make cookies, get them involved in helping others like visit a nursing home or senior center. Another cool idea is to make a big Christmas Basket (decorated). As a gift to your kids let them pick a card out of the basket each week for two months (something like that). Put index cards in the basket (decorated with santa, reindeer, candy canes or ?) with an inscription or wish. \nExamples:\nI will take you to the Park for Two Hours\nBake cookies together, you choice of type\nI will play football with you for an afternoon\nI will take you fishing and teach you how (wow)\nWe will go on a 3 hour hike\nWe will go to a local animal park to see the animals\nWe will build sandcastles together at the beach\nWe will go to the local swimming pool to swim\n\nYou can find literally hundreds of things you can do that your kids will enjoy for low cost or no cost. They will LOVE this. Make it fun. Anytime a kid get to spend quality time with a parent they love it more than any toy. This really works, just please try it. But remember to follow through, dont ever not do what they pick. Maybe pick Sunday as they day of the week they pick the adventure.\n\nAlso you can see if the local newspaper will run an ad for you that your kids are not getting Christmas this year. They love humanitarian stories and may feature your family. You can also talk to churches (they have toys and food) or local non-profits like the Family Resource Centers, Boys and Girls Club or get your kids put on an Angel Tree ( people pull the names and buy them a gift, but make sure it is a resonable toy). Womens Centers may help also. Many churches and non-profits have parties for less fortunate kids, I know I used to buy 100 gifts each year and help throw the party. Help is out there start searching.\n\nAll kids deserve CHRISTMAS. Good Luck
