it's just not easter without a puking bunny


i look forward to a good holiday meal as much as the next person, but on easter its what comes after the meal that i'm waiting for! when we start digging into dessert and filling up our coffee cups i get so excited (along with everybody else) i can't stop myself from laughing! i normally drink my coffee black with one or two packets of sweet n low in it, but not on easter. our amazing hostess, jane, goes all out with decorations and the coffee creamer is the icing on the cake! it's shaped like a rabbit, which is pretty common for the holiday, but the best part about it is that the cream pours out from a hole in the bunny's mouth!!!! surely the person that made this creamer realized that it looks like the bunny is throwing up in your coffee??!! we decided the bunny needed a name and he was appropriately called chuck. last year we were so ready for chuck we couldn't even wait until dessert. alex filled chuck up with tea, offered to get hillary some more tea and then proceeded to tip chuck over her glass, complete with sound effects.

along with chuck, another easter favorite is quoting clairee from steel magnolias when she's telling jack a story at the easter egg hunt. she finishes her story and then tells jack...well maybe you should just watch it. the only clip i could find is of the whole easter egg hunt scene, so to hear my favorite line you'll have to skip ahead to 3:45. if you're like me you'll just go ahead and watch the whole clip so i want to forewarn you that it was taken from the dvd, meaning that ouiser's language is not censored. if you've never seen steel magnolia's then DO NOT watch this clip! the entire movie is available on youtube in 12 parts and i promise it'll be worth your time.

  1. I love that the puking bunny endures year after year. It's a legacy to how great the invention is, seriously.

    Did you all change your profile pics to chuck this year?
