Reply #36: He will have fun keeping the characters alive for his little cousins

My kids stop believing many many years ago, but they still color Easter eggs, and did hide Easter eggs until they were nearly adults haha. I miss when they were little and did this, though. We even used to take mud and make bunny prints all around the entry way and take a carrot and take a bite out of it haha. As for the tooth fairy, I don't think they ever really believed in her, they would just bring their teeth to me and ask me to deal with the tooth fairy. They believed in Santa, but I think they believed the Easter bunny was more real for some reason.

It is different once they stop believing, no more getting up before dawn or in the night and putting easter baskets by their door, or the whole santa thing, but what is fun is the older kid helping keep the spirit alive for the younger ones, they actually relish the fact they are keeping a secret from the younger ones.
