Easter Memory

I remember going to my Grandma's around Easter time and always finding the most wonderful things. She had out her sugar eggs that she carefully packed away every year. They looked similiar to those in the above picture, but for some reason I remember her's being much more detailed and whimsical. I would put my eye up to the whole and see a whole Easter world inside. I felt as if I could climb inside!! I found these at: www.blumchen.com/ny_times_panorama_sugar_egg.html

Grandma always had the chocolate eggs wrapped in metallic papers. Why did the always seem more vibrant at her house? They were always the solid chocolate kind. Long before they started putting other things inside of them--caramel, peanut butter, etc. To this day, the solid milk chocolate kind are my favorite!
