In our family, every Easter morning felt like a small treasure hunt. Our parents would hide matching baskets for each of us, and my sisters and I would race to find them. Seeing candy, toys, and colorful eggs tucked into unexpected places was pure magic. One sister (unnamed, of course) often couldn’t resist and would eat her entire basket before church, only to feel ill later — a lesson in moderation learned the hard way.
