This year, we're having out-of-town family visiting our home on Easter morning (the time when the Easter Bunny traditionally delivers his baskets of goodies to our family). Our daughter was wondering how that was going to work out for her two visiting cousins. I explained that, like Santa and the Tooth Fairy, the Easter Bunny knows how to find the good children and deliver their gifts wherever they may be. I also added that Santa, the Tooth Fairy and the Easter Bunny compare notes and help each other out to get the job done -- which she really liked to hear. (Also, given the special conditions at our home this year, we Easter Bunny helpers coordinated to ensure that all three Easter baskets would be unique yet equitable).

In typical years, our Easter Bunny leaves a trail of candy-filled plastic eggs and plastic green grass that lead to a hidden basket filled with toys and/or other themed gifts. Usually this basket is hidden on our porch, where more candy-filled eggs are spread around in plants and nearby places. Additionally, we attend a city-sponsored Easter egg hunt, and take our picture with the "Easter Bunny" (though our daughter is now old enough to understand that this bunny is standing in for the real Easter Bunny and wearing a costume -- "for the younger kids," she says.).

In terms of how the Easter Bunny finds his way inside our home, it's simple: he's magic.
