When our children were young, we enjoyed hiding their 'Easter Baskets'. They would hop out of bed on Easter morning and immediately begin to look for them.
As they grew older, I became more creative in finding hard-to-find places for the baskets. One year, Troy didn't find his until we got home from church! There it was hanging from an eye-hook on the enclosed front porch!
But I best remember the year that I hid Travis' basket in the fireplace. We rarely used the fireplace and kept it closed off with a piece of plexiglass and a card table. Some large, heavy items were propped against it to keep it from being a source of heat-loss for the house.
That morning, Travis came downstairs and went straight to the fireplace and immediately found his basket! He was totally bummed that he had found it so easily. When we questioned him about it, he told us that he had dreamed that his basket was hidden in the fireplace.
Call it a case of sweet dreams!
