Visiting the Easter Bunny

By now, I’ve seen about a dozen Easter Bunny photos on Facebook to know that my readers have been to one of the nearby malls to get their baby’s picture taken.  I used the Bunny Easy Pass online and purchased my portrait package so I wouldn’t have to wait in line.  The packages were relatively cheap, and I went with the package that included the CD and four 5x7 pictures.  I thought it was a great deal especially since I would receive a $20 gift card for Shutterfly in return.  Just because I thought it was super cute, I added a keychain for $2.99 so I could see her cute face even more often.   All seemed good in the world as I confirmed my payment and headed to the Exton Mall.

If I was worried about lines on a Monday afternoon, I was concerned for no reason at all.  There was only one kid in line so we didn’t have to wait long to get her on the bunny’s lap.  As far as Easter Bunnies go, this one wasn’t so creepy.  My own Easter Bunny pic would definitely make the SketchyBunny.com.  My daughter took being held by a giant rabbit in stride.  If a thought bubble could have appeared above her head it would have said, “This happens all the times in my dreams.”  I probably would have screamed bloody murder if this creature tried to hold me. 

The picture was a success! The staff took their time trying to get the right smile, and for that I’m grateful.  However, I never received my Shutterfly gift card (I’m wondering if anyone did…), AND I never got the picture that goes in the keychain!  They just gave me an empty keychain!  So I feel slightly ripped off by the Easter Bunny.  Worse yet, he didn’t even bring me candy this morning!  WTF Easter Bunny?  I’ll be coming for you next year.  

Anyway, I thought I should share the cutest photo ever with you all (note the Hartstrings strawberry outfit I had my eye on…leave it to grandma to spoil her grandchild!)

Easter Bunny Visits Phoenixville!

I still remember my first picture with the Easter Bunny.  The rabbit was a wee bit menacing looking, and I cried through the whole thing.  However, it is a right of passage for babies, and I am certainly going to sit my daughter on the lap of some poor soul in a bunny suit the same as my parents did to me.  I am grateful that Phoenixville has it's own Eggstravaganza at the Grace Valley Fellowship @ the National Christian Conference Center in Phoenixville on Saturday, April 17 from 1-2pm.  Their website boasts of an egg hunt, free pics with the Easter Bunny, moonbounces, face painting, candy, crafts, and music.  But only an hour?  That makes me a little nervous.  Will there be a ridiculous line? 

Just in case you need a Plan B I was going to make a list of local egg hunts, but Playgroundbuzz.com already beat me to it.  For a full list, click here.

But if your baby can't hunt eggs (what's an egg, mom?) and you just want a picture then here are the places nearby where you can get that done (Click on any of the links to go directly to the Bunny info page)

Exton Square Mall
King of Prussia Mall (The Court)
King of Prussia Mall (The Plaza)

Happy hunting!
