Who says you have to give a plush rabbit for Easter? I mean hasn't the Easter bunny had enough glory for one furry friend? Why not consider this year putting some Chipmunks in that Easter basket!
The Easter bunny has be eluding me for way to long, and the Chipmunks may just know why. I actually remember my first "Easter bunny" experience. I was around six and we lived in this ground floor apartment that had a sliding glass door that lead out to a small porch area. I was convinced that this would be the year that I would catch the Easter bunny in the act as well that door was right near my bedroom and sort of loud not to mention the most obvious means of travel in or out of the house for a huge bunny with eggs. I never caught the rabbit but I did end up with a huge basket. The whole experience left me feeling a little cheated. Heh.
Well in Alvin And The Chipmunks - The Mystery of Easter Chipmunk and his brothers visit their grandfather. While they are there they discover a really interesting family history, their grandfather was the original Easter chipmunk. I know your thinking, what on earth is an Easter chipmunk... well basically the Easter bunny stole his job from the Easter chipmunk. Mr Hoppity, aka the Easter bunny, is in for a big surprise as Alvin decides to take him to court over the whole matter. heh.
Along with the Easter episode there is also a St Patricks Day themed episode that is pretty hilarious along with several others. There are no extra features on the disc.
Alvin And The Chipmunks - The Mystery of Easter Chipmunk is available right now on dvd and you can pick up your copy on Amazon!

I remember my mother would load up our baskets with so much candy that we'd still be eating months later. It was great but I was always a little jealous of the kids who got toys or clothes in their baskets. Thanks for the chance.

'The Easter Bunny' would always hide jellybeans and foil wrapped chocolate eggs all over the house. One egg would always be on top of the phone that hung on the wall. When my sister and I were younger, our older brother was the only one who could reach it, so he always got it, but even after we grew up we were kinda stuck in our ways and would still let our brother have that one egg :-)

before we could eat any of our easter candy, we had to go to church and eat the egg they gave us

There were always mostly colored eggs in our baskets, that us kids had dyed and designed patterns on the day before with our mom. We usually had jelly beans in our baskets. We always went to Church, like most Sundays unless we were sick or on vacation out of State. After Church we came home and usually ate a ham that had pineapple mustard glaze on it, potato salad (so my mom could slice up some of those hard boiled eggs and put them in it, since she knew they'd never all get eaten up any other way). Then in the afternoon the family either played a board game together or twister.
Easter was almost as big of holiday for us as Christmas. One Easter our grandparents gave my brother, me and my cousins each a set of Easter bunny ears and Easter bunny feet to wear over our shoes. We had a blast pretending we were the Easter bunny and there is a picture to prove it. Thanks for the giveaway.

When I was younger, my family couldn't afford the Easter baskets that had toys, large stuffed animals, and tons of chocolate. So my mom would make it herself or get a small basket with a small stuffed animal and a little chocolate. I always envied those kids who got the big baskets.

I love easter because of all of the pastel colors and spending time with my family, usually at a picnic. My most memorable easter though was when I was 4 and was playing and fell on the side of the bbq pit. I still have a small burn scar. Needless to say, I keep kids very far from it now. utgal2004[at]yahoo[dot]com

our favorite part of Easter is coloring the eggs. we do DOZENS of them and walk around with funny colored fingers for weeks. :)
we enjoy going to a community breakfast and egg hunt every year
after church we go to my parents house for lunch and they hide plastic eggs for the kids and if it's nice they hide them outside. plus we take lots of pictures while everyone is dressed up :)
your button's on my blog!
We don't celebrate Easter in our family, but when I was a kid, my mom always forgot how many Easter Eggs that she hid, and so we'd always find a few rotten ones months later. Gross.

I remember one year we had an Easter-Candy hunt. She would randomly place chocolate and candy through-out the house and me, my sister, and my dad would go find the candy. It was so much fun!
orchestratenoise0726[at]yahoo[dot]com
we always have the nieces and nephews over for a easter egg hunt and eat candy and play games
I always hide a ton of eggs with candy and quarters around the yard and in the house for my boys. They can't wait until after church to come home and hunt for eggs.
Last year we were traveling for my husband's job. The hotel room wasn't very big but that's were we had to have our Easter egg hunt. I thought it would be lame but the kids were still so excited.
simon is nice
Cadbury Eggs! Enough said!
When our son was 2, he had his own little private Easter egg hunt in our backyard. And he liked it so much, he kept on asking his dad and I to re-hide the eggs over and over. I think we must have had 5 egg hunts a day for a whole week! =)

My kids would love this DVD.
I remember one Easter where my parents surprised my brother & I with real live chicks. They went to go buy two, but the salesman, closing the store for the weekend, offered them 20 some chicks. My parents took all 20. What a surprise! To this day, we still laugh about them being crazy to take all 20.
We had 20 chicks and watched them grow, until they got to be a bit too much to handle. We then donated them to our local zoo. But, we had such laughs and great memories of those chicks.
We would always go to my grandparents on Easter. Someone would hide eggs and my grandfather would pull the kids around in a big wagon with his lawn mower. This was years ago and I love looking at the pictures. It brings back good memories.
helencutie06@aol.com
go on egg hunts in backyard- then eat those eggs and we survived!
When I was in 4th grade, I left a note for the Easter Bunny asking him to take a picture of himself. Needless to say, my parents had the big talk the next day.

I seen the rabbit run through the front yard and then I seen the loaded baskets behind the trees.

I always had an easter basket -but not like my kids get now..mine was mostly filled with homemade dyed eggs and candy
dctm at bellsouth dot net
when my son was 3 years old, the easter bunny decided to hide plastic filled eggs outside in addition to the usually dyed eggs inside... he was so excited to go looking for the eggs, but there were none to be found... ANYWHERE!! we stood in the yard dumb-founded, when all the sudden a hersheys miniature wrapper floated down from the sky... we looked up... there was a long straigt branch on our tree that was about 20 feet above ground level... the branch was lined with colored easter eggs and a little squirrel opening them and taking the candy out! got tons of pictures that year!

I remember my mom would sew us 3 girls a beautiful Easter dress every year. We would all go to Church and then we could go through our Easter baskets.
i remember hiding eggs around the house for my sisters and i to find, over and over again
We have a morning Easter Egg hunt in our home. We use plastic eggs with a few small coins and jelly beans inside. You'd think they had gold or $100 bills in there the way my kids race through the house tackling (4 boys) each other to get an egg. I guess we encourage that as the one with the most eggs gets a small prize like a kite. When one went to college he actualy came home for the Easter Egg hunt rosans4@comcast.net

No matter how long it took, my mom always waited until my brother, sister and I were asleep before she would prepare and hide the Easter baskets. For many years we truly believed the Easter Bunny hid our baskets. Now she continues that tradition with her grand-children. Thank you for the fun give-away.
I always wanted one of those big huge baskets you see in the supermarkets. I never got one. Now I make great big baskets of cool stuff for my kids.

I remember always hunting for eggs outside.

My siblings and I always got tons of those marshmallow things covered in sugar that made me cringe. I still remember the year my sister and I got matching bikes. I was the happiest girl in the world. I suddenly liked the Easter Bunny more than Santa! :P
The Easter Bunny always hid a lot of eggs and we could hardly wait to get downstairs in the morning to see what he had left! Then we would go to church for an Easter breakfast.
I have a lot of fun coloring Easter Eggs with my toddler grandson.

i love easter egg hunts its fun to try and find all of them
I agree with you about it not being necessary to buy a plush rabbit for Easter - I bought many over the years and my daugter much preferred when a movie was substituted

Easter was not a big deal when I was growing up. My parents didn't hide eggs or candy. They just made up a small basket and hid that. Of course, it was easy to find.
Thank you for the chance to win this for my grandson!

We'd go to church and the Easter Bunny came while we were gone.
my favorite thing about easter was the hunt for the golden egg. You got $5 if you found that one. My dad sprayed it with gold paint.
I remember coloring the eggs the night before and looking for the candy eggs in our living room! Now I do the same for my daughter!
My kids would love this.
Every Easter the Easter Bunny comes and he leaves eggs all over our house. It's so much fun!
I remember fondly as a little girl getting all dressed up to go to church, dying real eggs, hunting them in my grandparents' yard and then my grandpa eating them (after they'd been out in the sun all day-yuck)!
When I was a kid Easter was mostly about going to church, but I do remember getting to color eggs and how much fun that was!

Easter has always been a sacred celebration in my family, honoring the death and resurrection. Please accept my entry. Thank you.
When we were kids my parents would hide our easter baskets. Since I was the oldest mine was always hid in the hardest place and it took forever to find! thanks, justicecw@hotmail.com

I loved the outdoor Easter Egg hunts. It was fun, and innocent.
we never got candy the entire year. But easter morning that easter bunny would leave candy all over the house and we were in heaven!!
we always left a trail of "easter bunny droppings" from the kids bedrooms to their easter baskets. the dropping were malted milk eggs. thanks for the giveaway
When I was a kid I used to want a store-bought Easter basket instead of the one my Mom made me. One Easter my Mom was really sick and had to have surgery. My grandparents came down to stay with my sister and I. My Papaw went out and bought us each a basket. I was so excited until I opened it and saw how little candy and toys were really in the basket. From then on I was happy with thw baskets my Mom made and felt sorry for kids who only got a store-bought one.
We always went to church and came home to a delicious dinner that my Mom made. She always had cool easter baskets too!
We would dye egges the day before Easter.On Easter morning we would have nice baskets my mom made.Dad would go outside to help the easter bunny hide the eggs.There was also a huge dinner taht afternoon for us.Thanks!
I grew up out in the country and Easter was always a big event at church. We had a huge Easter egg hunt and then a big picnic outside where every family brought food. It was so much fun. My grandmother's coconut cake was always a big favorite.
When my youngest son was little he loved nothing better than hunting Easter eggs. We would still be hiding and finding Easter eggs up until Halloween. It is such a fond memory of his childhood for him and for his dad and me.
I remember our easter dresses and hats and white shoes with our beaded purses 5 little girls that my Mom and Dad took to church easter morning. after church while mom cooked we had huge easter egg hunt. This tradition has been handed down and we still do today
Alvin and the Chipmunks are a cooky little trio with hilarious jokes the whole family can enjoy! Thanks for the chance!

The Easter Bunny leaves his footprints all throughout our house (cut out of pastel construction paper). The little ones get a big kick out of it! He also leaves a sweet personalized note!
My mom would leave jelly beans in a trail from the front door to our easter baskets and say it was easter bunny poop. Weird but I got a kick out of it when I was little.

My dad used to hide our Easter Baskets and it was fun to try to find them. One year, we just couldn't find one. He gave us hints and we finally discovered it hanging from the Shower Curtain rod. Finding baskets made eating the candy all the sweeter!

I always let the kids help color the eggs and get as creative as they want. You would be surprised what they can do
When we were in Florida, the Easter Bunny would hide the eggs outside for my son. When we moved back to Michigan, he kept going to the door saying he had to check outside for the eggs. We had to convince him the Bunny only did that in warmer weather.
When I was a kid we hid real boiled eggs and every year we wouldn't find some of them until later when they rotted, disgusting!!

My fave thing to do with the kids for Easter,is dyeing eggs. It is so messy,but the kids love it!
THe easter that I will always remember is the year my mom decided that she was going to perm my hair. I looked so cute in my easter dress with my butt long hair frizzed to the sky. I still have this picture and it still contines to make me laugh. The picture has my grandma in it and I will always tresure it.

I liked scary stuff as a kid, so you can imagine how much interest I had in something cute and furry.....however, my mom kept me entertained on Easter with Mysteries of the Bible stories. But now that I have a little one I would love to win this. Especially because it would compliment our Alvin Meets the Wolfman movie....hee hee.
