Anna loved Easter. The bunnies. Dying and searching for eggs. Taking pictures with the Easter Bunny in the mall with Kristoff, who did not enjoy it but did it because it made her smile. But what Anna loved most of all was the chocolate bunnies. Everyone that knows is aware that she is quite a chocoholic and would devour every chocolate item insight if left unattended at a chocolate store.
However, it wasn't just the fact that it was chocolate that caused her love for the sweet treat, but the meaning they held for Kristoff. Growing up his family could never really afford much, but every Easter his parents made sure that each of their twelve adopted kids had something special in their basket. And that special gift was always a chocolate bunny. Anna's face glowed with serenity the first time he told her the story back when they were first dating.
Anna loved Kristoff. Fully and devotedly. So having something that she already loved, like chocolate bunnies, and have that love strengthened by someone, she cared deeply for...well you could go ahead and call her the luckiest girl in the world.

Easter morning Anna awoke to find Kristoff already out of bed. She could smell the delightful aroma of eggs benedict, their annual Easter breakfast, wafting through their oakwood bedroom door.
She got out of bed, tying her hair into a quick messy bun and slipping on her fuzzy bunny slippers, as she made her way into the kitchen. When she saw Kristoff cooking at the stove she wound her arms around his broad waist and planted a kiss at the nape of his neck. "Happy Easter baby," she sighed happily.
Turning around to fully receive the hug Kristoff kissed the top of her head, relishing in the scent of honeysuckle and jasmine. "Happy Easter feistypants. I have a surprise for you."
Anna buried her face in his chest and giggled, "Oh you do, do you?"
Kristoff gently took her by the hand and began leading her toward the living room. "Follow me. And close your eyes."
Anna did as she was told, nervous excitement racking through her bones as she pondered what on earth the surprise could possibly be. Though she had some idea.
When they came to a stop, Kristoff told her to keep her eyes closed. She heard him rustling with, what to her sounded like boxes. A few seconds later she heard his heavy footsteps as he made his way back over to her. He laid a hand upon her shoulder, "Okay. Open them."
Anna gasped at the sight before her. She thought she must be dreaming because before her very eyes were two baskets filled to the brim with chocolate bunnies of different shapes, sizes, and brands. "Oh Kristoff," she said, her eyes beginning to well with tears.
"Happy Easter Anna," he said as he pulled her in for another hug.
"You really are the best husband ever. Do you know that?"
He chuckled, "I try my best." He ever so gently pushed away her ginger bangs from her face and placed a featherlight kiss on her forehead. "Just don't go eating it all in one night."
"Why Kristoff!," she exclaimed dramatically in her best attempt at a fancy accent, looking away and placing the back of her wrist on her forehead. "I can't believe you would ever accuse me of such a thing Truly I'm shocked." They both laughed at her silliness. "No, but seriously Kristoff. Thank you."
"Of course, " he grinned. "Anything for you."
Yeah, chocolate bunnies may be sweet, but Kristoff was even sweeter.
