How Old is Too Old for an Easter Basket?

I hadn't planned to do Easter baskets this year. In fact, I hadn't done Easter baskets in many years. But, Mindy reminded me that I did baskets last year. I immediately disagreed with her until she reminded me that----that was how Nicky proposed to Stephanie---by putting her ring in an egg in her Easter basket. 

I really thought I was done with baskets. Mindy, being the baby---albeit 29 now, whined a little and brow-beat me! I agreed, but told her this was going to be the last year!! And it is. By the time I bought just a little candy and a couple other little things, it cost a fortune---for eleven people!! Do the math. A $3.50 chocolate bunny adds up to---wait, let me get the calculator. That's $38.50 and doesn't even include the tax!! Now you see what I'm getting at. It ALL adds up!!
