When Courtney was younger and her family lived in New Jersey, I went to visit.
Tricia told me that she thought it was funny because
Courtney always hid the ceramic egg decoration
behind a little door in the hutch in the living room.
So....
I had an idea.
When I took the egg out,
(you can see it there on the table)
I put a piece of candy behind the door.
Imagine her surprise!
and my delight!
at her reaction when she went to hide the egg again.
It has become a nanamoo traditon.
Sometimes one or the other of the kids will say to me...
Nana, the egg is in.
That is just a sweet little reminder.
I always laugh
and try to remember to hide something
when none of them are looking,
which is a little tricker nowadays.
Usually on the last day that I am there,
the kids will find extra surprises!

that's cute. Has corky ever said why she hid it? Did you she think you would break it or steal it since she knew you lived in a birdhouse?
