Tahlia Giumelli and husband Tom Burgess have decided not to tell their two little girls about the Easter bunny this year. 

The AFL WAG, 30, revealed their decision during an Instagram Q&A on Thursday when a follower asked if Sophie, four, and Elodie, two, were excited for the holiday.

She said while the children have participated in Easter celebrations at school and with the Rabbitohs, they don't know about the festive bunny coming to the house. 

'Okay parents don't judge me but we haven't told the girls about the Easter Bunny coming to the house,' the model said.

'They have participated in all the school events and have seriously loved their Easter Hat parades, and the Rabbitohs have organised a little something for families over the weekend and will get to see Reggie the Rabbit, but we haven't talked about the Easter Bunny visiting with chocolate.'

Tahlia went on to say Sophie and Elodie 'have been so excited and content with what they have been doing through school and Tom's work that we felt it was enough'.

'They are too young and don't really grasp the idea, and I didn't want to create more work for myself when I know we will be doing more Easter Egg Hunts through other opportunities.'

It comes after the mum-of-two confessed she doesn't buy her children gifts, but rather deposits money into a bank account for when they get older.

'When the girls were born, I set up bank accounts for them,' she told her Instagram followers last month. 

'We put money in them instead of buying lots of birthday/Christmas gifts and if family or friends want to get the kids something, we ask them to put money in their account.

'Our girls are spoilt with toys so they don't need more. Decided to invest this instead of it sitting in a bank account.

'We won't be touching this until they are 25. Hoping it provides them with something to be able to put a deposit on a home, a car, travel or pay for their education.'
