Easter Basket Ideas!
Easter baskets have never been a must in our house. There have been years we've put them together, and other years we've kept things more simple and given only a book and a sweet treat. I wanted to share some ideas for those of you who are putting together Easter baskets that celebrate new life! The boy/girl ideas can certainly be interchangeable... but I hope you find these ideas to be a helpful starting place.
