Visiting the Easter Bunny isn’t all it’s cracked up to be for some kids. Twitter

Ah, Easter. Time to take those adorable pictures of the little ones snuggling up to the Easter bunny.

At least that’s the goal. Some parents have more luck than others.

This, we are sure, is what most parents have in mind.

What a difference a year makes! She's had that Disney character training now I told her we were going to see the Easter Bunny and she asked for her Alice dress, so I guess that's a thing now. Lots more Easter fun happening today! #babyducote #happyeaster #easterbunny

One-year-old Luna, daughter of John Legend and Chrissy Teigen, was camera-ready for her visit to the bunny.

Big girl now ❤❤

But, alas, it usually goes like this.

So many crying kids... currently the family placeholder in line for the Easter bunny as they shop... so many crying kids

Easter 2017 She cried this year. I think because she saw the little boy in front of her cry. #whitemarshmall #Easterbunny #Easter2017

Welp, pictures like this certainly don’t help.

Had a dream, last night, that the Easter bunny bit me. Feeling a little weird this AM.... pic.twitter.com/EwfzhjtCJR

A real rabbit? That was the last straw for this kid.

Those darn Easter bunnies! #easterfail #littlejude

P.S. Even dogs aren’t always happy around the big guy.

Take a picture with the Easter Bunny they said. It'll be fun they said. Nope. Not fun at all ~ Toby #TobyE #EasterBunny #Petsmart pic.twitter.com/LB3VpFGIqb
