Easter Sunday is coming up quick and you know what that means — warmer weather, chocolate bunnies, and excited children hunting for eggs. 

Sure, Easter is a fun celebration involving candy, baskets of gifts, and delicious home-cooked food. But, after being asked trivial questions about the Easter bunny’s name, age and gender as well as questions about the origins of Easter, it surprised us to find out how many kids knew the real history behind the holiday. Not only are they thoughtful, but they’re so adorable.
