This weekend Annie and her friend Austin had their pictures taken with the Easter Bunny. Austin is 16 months old, the same age Maddie was last year when she flat-out refused to get her picture taken with the Bunny, so his mom Leslie and I were prepared for him to flip out. He’d freaked when he met Santa, so there was a precedent. To our surprise, Austin looooooved the Easter Bunny. He couldn’t get enough time with it. Kids are riddles wrapped in enigmas slathered in secret sauce.
Luckily, we knew Annie wouldn’t be scared of the Bunny since she, you know, has no idea what’s going on. I just wanted her eyes to be open in the picture. I spent most of our time in line singing her the “Wake Up, Gramma Is About To Spend Money On A Life Experience” song.
Oh Annie Beeeeeeee!
Stop catching Zeeeeees!
Grammy’s spending money
to see the Easter Bunny
so wake up, dammit.
When it was Annabel’s turn, I got her situated on the Easter Bunny’s lap and the photographer started snapping away. We got a really cute one:
She is just so cute and balding and squishy!
Annie’s Gramma is rollin’ in dolla bills, and sprang for the “deluxe” package, which included a copy of the picture on a flash drive. When we got home I loaded the picture file into my computer and it popped up on my screen full-size. And I saw something really scary:
I don’t know what made me laugh harder – that I could see the face of the girl inside, or that she was smiling for the picture.
Which Bunny is creepier? The face-within-a-face Easter Bunny that Annie and Austin visited, or the stoned and lecherous Bunny that baby Maddie saw (when she was too little to refuse)?
Because, obviously, they are both creepy.

Maddie’s stoner bunny is way creepier to me. I’d have let loose on that rabbit, too. ; )
The Crazy Baby Mama says:
the only thing worse is when Santa’s beard has lice…
still, your both Maddie and Annie are so adorable that they manage to redeem the (extremely creepy) bunnies in both photos.

Katrina says:
What’s UP with the stoned Easter Bunny??!! OMG that one is too funny! Yea, that was gets the prize, alright.
My kids have always cried with the Easter Bunny. There’s just something about a GINORMOUS rabbit that freaks kids out. Santa, at least, is a human being. A bit scarey with the beard, sure, but even babies recognized their own kind.
Nonetheless, both of your babies look beautiful next to the creepy Easter bunnies

Jessalee says:
I’d say the stoned-looking, Hugh Hefner-esque bunny is way more freaky and trippy than the extra excited face-in-the-mouth bunny (which just makes me want to scream GET IN MAH BELLEH!).
.-= Jessalee´s last blog ..Earth Hour =-.
Jessalee says:
And I mean Hugh Hefner-esque in that he looks like he’s wearing his bed jacket for the picture. Though I just realized the whole bunny-Hefner correlation. Sad I didn’t think of it sooner.

Jenn says:
My favourite Bunny is the stoner bunny although, I would love to ask the chic in the 1st bunny costume why she was smiling and so HAPPY? UNLESS of course, she STOLE the. last years BUNNY stash and was stoned herself?!?!?!?
Could totally happen, after all ; you are sitting all day long in a hot, horrible, BIG bunny outfit where kids either scream and cry cuz you scare the hell out of them, or their too young to know the difference.
PLUS, there is also the obvious “danagerous factor ” of the position…..YES, you are correct….I am talking about the kid who pisses on your lap vrs the kid who is screaming and crying so much he vomits EVERYWHERE….including on you but you can’t do a damn thing about b/c your stuck in a hot, horrible, Big Bunny costume making $3.95/hr!
Maybe I’m just being negative? Maybe she loves being a Big Bunny and maybe, like myself, she LOVES babies and little kids? Maybe she is just one of those happy go lucky chics? Afterall….it could be worse…..She Could be the waving flower on the corner of the road!

MamaCas says:

Jill says:
Creepy is right.
I think the face-within-a-face edges out the stoner bunny by a bit though.
At least the face-within-the-face is smiling though — that’s cute. I’d hate to have had it be some hairy old man with a toothpick sticking out of his mouth:)
I’d definately be altering that picture even though you can’t see the detail without the close up. Now that you know it’s there I think you might have to wipe that face off of there.

Maddie’s bunny hands-down. At least Annie’s easter bunny didn’t have that snide expression on her face-ick!
Catherine Lucas says:
Well, you are not really supposed to look inside of the bunny…
If you look at the picture, you normally don’t see the face inside…
grin.
I would not bother or mess with it, unless you want to have it postered on your living room wall.
Annie looks swell surrounded by fur. Great pics. We don’t do stuff like that in Europe, at least not the Easter bunny… Americans have funny practises for sure! ;o)))

CurlyDee says:
I worked for a charity that had a mascot and we use to take turns putting the suit on for events. We often joked about the fact that we all smiled every time someone had their picture taken with us.
I’m glad it was a happy young smiling girl in that suit – how would you feel if it was a creepy old man who looked miserable to be doing the Easter bunny job!

Liz says:
A brief story – in high school I worked for an amusement park and the mascot was a mangy bear. As a joke, one of my friends “volunteered” me to wear the bear suit one day. It was a hot, stinky, claustrophobic hell. Anyway, the first hour or so I smiled through the agony for all the pictures. Then I realized that no one could see my face and I stopped smiling. Then I realized that no one could see me flip the bird from inside my dirty paw as I “waved” to the camera. Then my day got a little better. But I never wore the bear suit again.

The face in the bunny mouth is exactly why I stopped believing at like four years old!! I sat on that bunny’s lap and looked in there and nearly screamed. I told my mom it wasn’t the *real* Easter bunny, and that was pretty much the end of the mystery.
However, that lecherous bunny is terrifying! Way worse than the face within a face bunny *shudder*

the first bunny looks like a cheap prize you’d get for knocking down milk bottles at a church fair, and the second one looks like a PIMP, and I mean an actual ho-slapping, money taking, dirty birdy PIMP.
the girls are quite lovely as always, though that makes up for the creepy bunnies!

That is to cute,,Last year I dressed as The Easter bunny for our egg hunt and my nieces and nephews loved it every family member sat in my lap..I had a great time hopping in our yard hiding eggs!!! Now I just have to post a picture..

I know this is inappropriate to say when these bunnies have held your babies. But, these costumes look like they may have attended a Furry convention or two…especially stoner furry.

Annie is adorable, the bunny, not so much.
My nephew was a month old for his first bunny photo. When my sister got the picture later (before digital pics), you could see the guy inside ASLEEP!! Yeah, he was “holding” a 1 month old totally dozing off inside the suit.
Ruth says:
So you can assure me that the huge bunny will not be hiding in my closet tonight? Please? Pretty please??
Natalie says:
Ahahaha! My daughter’s picture with the Easter Bunny when she was little had the face showing too! Too funny! But I do think the stoned bunny is creepier. Annie is too adorable!
Chrissy says:
ha, ha … totally laughing at the girl smiling in the bunny suit! I was our school mascot in Junior High and no matter WHAT, I COULD NOT KEEP MYSELF FROM SMILING IN PICTURES!! I was inside a HUGE Thomas Jefferson paper mache thing … no one could see me. I was looking out of his nose but still … I had to smile during pics. So, I can relate! It’s reflex … you smile during pics!!!! :o)))
Melissa says:
Checking… Yes, I have my glasses on. erm. I dont see the smile. I see her looking down at Annie.
Mary says:
thanks for the laugh! I needed that on a Monday!!! Both are creepy~!
Tara says:
I think Maddie’s pothead bunny is creepier but my daughter may disagree. As I was reading this, my 2 year old climbed onto my lap and just as she got situated, she glanced at my laptop as I was looking at the face within a face picture and she actually screamed. I scrolled down to make it go away and she was fine. To test this I scrolled back up to the FWF and she screamed again. Really though, a giant bunny with a delirious smile no matter what its features are, is all around creepy.
Rian says:
Maddie’s Easter Bunny looks loaded
Jodie Brooks says:
That’s hilarious!! I think Maddie’s was much more creepier!!
Kirsten says:
I had to be the Easter Bunny at the last preschool I worked at… the disguise was great, none of the kids knew it was me. In fact, several of my beloved Bambie class who usually adored me, took one look at me and started screaming in abject terror until they were removed from the room.
People should not dress up in creepy emotionless animal suits. Why Barney is such a hit continues to baffle me.

This post had me laughing so hard! Both of those rabbits are F-REAKY!!! It never occured to me to take Aaron to see the Easter Bunny but I already know it would be TOTAL MAYHEM. Both your babies are so beautiful!
marsha says:
I’m confused!! Really, I am. I have stared and stared at the first easter bunny pic. I don’t see a smile…I see a sonogram baby face. No, I’m not stoned either! Obviously there is a smile that I am missing bc everyone else sees it. All i see is that smushed up face with big lips…like you see in an ultrasound. I’m going to stare a little longer now.
beret says:
The girl’s nose is right below the bunny’s tooth to the right (it looks a tad smooshed) then her smile is below that. She’s got big lips with lipstick on and her teeth are showing. It only took me 15 minutes to figure this out. lol

“Kids are riddles wrapped in enigmas slathered in secret sauce.” Hehe! I like that one. ;D And by the time Annie turns a-year-old, she’ll probably have a hundred Annie songs dedicated in her name.

I LOVE that you have similar photos of Maddie & Annie with the Easter bunnies, in the previous entry the Rockstar photos and just different events, such as birthday parties and out with the ladies. I know Annie will love looking at these side by side photos of her sister and herself.
Oh and for the record: Annie's Easter bunny is much creepier because the lady inside the costume is smiling! She probably did it as a joke though, thinking no one would notice. But you did! =P

Brings back memories. I once played the Easter Bunny and a little girl turned to my husband who was taking pictures and said “why does the Easter Bunny have a lady in her tummy?”
Kel says:
Cute pictures, scary bunnies.
DrMama says:
I once made a Stanley Cup costume to wear to an NHL hockey game on Halloween. Several mascots from other NHL teams were at the game, and I stopped to take a picture with one. As the picture was being taken, I realized that I was smiling for the camera, even though my face was not visible in the costume. I mentioned it to the mascot, who broke the mascot code of silence and said he was smiling too.
I think it’s just such an ingrained habit to smile for a picture that you do it even when your head is inside a big giant bunny head.
Maybe the mascots at Disney do it enough to have been trained out of that “smile for the camera” response.
Erin in the L.A. says:
I kinda think the Easter bunny is creepy no matter what. Especially with that semi-deranged perma-grin on their face. But Annie is too young to know the difference. Next year, she can be leery of the whole situation.
