What do Eggs and Rabbits have to do with Easter... rabbits don't lay eggs.

Great Question Nadine!

We Germans have a great tradition of creating Many Great Traditions. My Mom is Dutch my Dad German, but I don't speak it : (

According to Wikipedia, an online encyclopedia, the Easter Bunny as an Easter symbol bringing Easter eggs, seems to have its origins in Germany, where he was first recorded in a German publication in the early 1600s.... See More

The first edible bunnies were made in Germany during the early 1800s and were made of pastry and sugar.

The Easter Bunny was introduced to America by the German settlers who arrived in the Pennsylvania Dutch country during the 1700s. The arrival of the German osterhase or hare was considered one of “childhood’s greatest pleasures.”

According to the tradition, children would build brightly colored nests, often out of caps and bonnets, in secluded areas of their homes. The osterhase would, if the children had been good, lay brightly colored eggs in the nest. As the tradition spread, the nest has become the manufactured, modern Easter basket, and the placing of the nest in a secluded area has become the tradition of hiding baskets : )

Everyone should be proud of their heritage. It is good to honor all our ancestors. No one is all good or all bad. But certain sugars are. Read up on it in my blog. Be GOOD to your Kids.
