Somewhere around 1971……
He is still at large waiting to steal your baskets and pretty colored eggs. Or at least scare your toddlers. Watch out folks!
These are my favorite Easter pics taken of my brothers, and sister before I was born. Seriously, do you blame the kid? LOOK at that huge spooky Easter Bunny! Where did they find the costumes back then? HA HA.
Hope the Easter Grinch didn’t visit your house.
Wishing you joy, laughter and praise! Happy Easter & Happy Hunting!
Living, Loving, Laughing.... 
That is one rather scary looking rabbit! How wonderful to have these pictures still.
Have a wonderful Easter Sunday

Than you for digging in your heals and writing and sharing with others. I can not say I love one of you more than the other. I always wanted four, two boys and two girls. I got my wish and it has been such a wonderful ride.  I know you have had a wonderful Easter and you have made mine wonderful also. I didn’t know about the pictures with the Bunny Grinch, poor Lonnie! It’s a great life and I’m glad I took so many pictures and had so many made. Hugs, and love all around. I am so proud of all of you. Love Mom, Grandma and friend

Chuckle! Yes, pretty scary looking bunny. Love the classic photo. I still get a laugh at the mall with the Easter bunny and little ones just screaming bloody murder in the lap of some HUGE bug eyed and big earred bunny. Mine did not take to it very well either. Wishing you a wonderful Easter!

Gah! Looks like little bro was ultimately forced to succumb to his own creepy bunny mask. It’s a wonder we children were able to sleep at night knowing all these creatures like giant bunnies, tooth-collecting fairies, and fat bearded men were breaking and entering our homes–such faith we had…or did we just hope the gifts would be worth it 🙂 I adore childhood photos; thanks for sharing!

And that is why I haven’t ever taken my girls to sit in the Easter Bunny’s lap. We just walk by and wave. Because *I* am freaked out by those big bunnies!! (P.S. I was born in ’76 and had an outfit similar to your sister’s there. Except mine was a pants suit — and I swear to you I think it was a mini-leisure suit. I was a fashion failure before I was even four!)
