I usually put a
lego in Dallas' basket now. When he was younger I always did summer things. Chalk, bubbles, baseball bat, roller skates and the like. Swim stuff. His birthday is 2 days after christmas so this was the perfect opportunity to give him everything he would need for summer.
He also got a vsmile game or two some easters and leapfrog books. I have way too big of stash of toys that I hardly paid anything for and I find it so hard to find a time to give it to him. I try not to spend alot but I try to always put a toy. I didn't like candy as a kid and don't like it much better now so I always enjoyed the 1 toy (a strawberry shortcake doll) I got. Later on it was baseball cards which my brother and I loved!
Last year he wanted a BIG chocolate bunny so i bought him one this year (even though it will all pretty much get trashed). I only spent $3.50 on it and he'll be doing the

when he sees it!
Oh! His first easter he got Little Tikes trucks. One was a dump truck and I used that as the basket!
