Signs of spring are finally everywhere. We have been excitedly preparing for Easter Sunday. Our Easter preparations always include a trip to the neighborhood near where I grew up. I received a chocolate Easter bunny from Genevieve's Home Made Chocolates in Garfield, NJ every year and now my kids do too. It's a holiday tradition for us and I hope this store never closes. The chocolate is, by far, the best I have ever tasted. Godiva? No thanks. For us, it's always been about Genevieve's and I love supporting a small family business. The shop is always filled with customers from miles and miles around who, like us, return to the old neighborhood for their holiday chocolate.
I love picking a bunny for each of my kids based on what they are "into" that year. In years past, they have gotten a chocolate bunny in a car (for the year my son got his driver permit), a baseball glove, and even a chocolate chicken. So fun!
Billy is working during the day on Easter, but we will head to my brother and sister-in-law's house for Easter dinner. Can't wait!
Happy spring holiday!!

Wow Courtney, as a Bergen county girl all my life I have never been to Genevieve's. It's so close to my house I have to check it out. I have to say I was trying to be good and I didn't have not one jelly bean or chocolate in the house. If it's there it calls me till I finish it all by myself. Hope you had a beautiful Easter!
