Our Easter

Here a few pics from our Easter! These pictures are of the girls playing with some of their presents the Easter bunny gave them, Egg Hunting and jumping with Uncle Jason on the Trampoline! We always go over to my sisters and Egg hunt and have breakfast and hang out as a family for Easter, it always lots of fun! Something we do is stick the eggs and baskets outside the night before so the bunny can have them and fill them (of course the eggs do not stay out there I go and get them after the girls are fast asleep!)

Easter Decorations

Whoooa I was looking threw my post's and saw that I have not posted Easter!! Argh! Well here it is... in two short post's..

A few of the Easter Decorations we have! The egg tree we have decorated in the front yard since I was a little girl and I would decorate it with my mom! Before I moved back home I would decorate the bushes in front of our house. One year some boys keep stealing all my eggs of my bushes... Once they got chased down that was the end of that! Ha! Steal MY eggs... The glitter houses that I totally forgot I made! I also bought those little trees in the dollhouse section at hobby lobby and stuck them in straight bleach and then hot glued eggs that I glittered on them...Man, I was on a glitter house streak last year... Ohhh my little family of vintage rabbits are they not the cutest? Love them! I also found two more at a estate sale a while back that goes with them. I also have Easter baskets that we have acquired over the years full of playable Easter items. The little gingham ones my grandma made. A basket of bunny's, the Ribbon eggs in Raley's Easter basket, and other eggs that Lilly could not keep her hands off of. The miniature egg tree that sits on the kitchen table with wooden figures my mother and I have decorated together since I was a tiny girl also and it is so fun to decorate it with the girls!

Easter Activitys



Here is a few pics from some of the Easter fun we had!
Picture 1: Eggs I made for Lilly hunt with when she was a baby before she Easter egg hunt and my basket from when I was a little girl that is now Raleys's
Picture 2: The girls wore these Easter Bunny masks and played "Easter Bunny with the eggs in the pic above and had egg hunts all over the yard and in the house
Picture 3&4: Tea Cups made from plastic eggs (we have a tea party every Easter) and Cookies for a Easter Tea Party with friends
Picture 5&6: "Egging" our friends! Lilly always has a blast doing this and Raley really loved it this year! We leave a dozen eggs hidden in the yards with  a note saying "You have been Egged" and we hid and watch them run around a find them!
Picture 7: Peep Jewelry! I gave Lilly a giant embroidery needle and elastic and she threaded them together!
Picture 8: Puppets I made for a Easter Puppet show

ABC Eggs

I made Lilly some ABC matching Easter Eggs with stickers and modge podge. You match the capital and lower case letters together



Lillys Easter Lunch

Lilly eats lunch at school a couple times a week for "Lunch Bunch" and I surprised her with this when she went to get her lunch! Each egg is filled with a little bit of food! She was so excited when I picked her up and she was the hit of the classroom, even other teachers stopped eating their own lunch and came into her classroom to look and peek in her eggs! Ha, so funny! I will be doing it again tomorrow for her and when she gets home from school I will have a secret Easter Tea Party set up for Raley and her!



Easter !! Here comes Peter CottenTail...

Anyone else have that blasted song stuck in there head?? Every time Lilly See's a rabbit she has me sing that song, She thinks its luring the Easter bunny over! Funny kid!! I am making a countdown calendar today.. that starts today! Yep I am late. I have pulled the muscles in my neck holding both kids so much. So its been killing me all week and I have been able to do Aaaanything,or at least it feels that way. I cant turn my head unless I turn my whole body so I look like a dog chasing its tail. I look Reeeeeally cool.
So here are my Glitter houses that I made and Lilly loves!!

The little trees I bought at Hobby Lobby in the Dollhouse section for I think $1.99 and then just stuck them upside down so the wood stand was sticking out in a cup of straight bleach for maybe 10 mins and then rinsed with water. When they were dry I hot glued the eggs into the trees. To make everything sugared looking I just used Modge Podge and Glitter!

For our Countdown Calender one of our activities was to "Egg" our friends houses!! So while all the girls (Grace, Variety-sisters, Jillian, Addison-sisters) were in school we snuck into there yards and hid a dozen eggs filled with candies !! Lilly had a blast filling the eggs and sneaking around hiding all of them in the backyards(so we could watch them find them from our kitchen!!) I was thinking about it after we did it and really when do the kids get to fill the eggs, never because the Easter bunny does it!! So it really is a fun activity to do and would definitely recommend it!! This is a pic watching the girls finding there eggs as Lilly watches!!

Last night I got the Plastic eggs all filled and Raley helped me! Tonight my niece and nephew are coming over to dye Eggs so that will be fun!!  But today Lilly and I are going to make "Earth" cupcakes for earth day and we were going to go on a walk around the neighborhood and pick up trash but its raining cats and dogs here today :( But the Easter activity that she picked out was to make "Peeps" anything involving marshmallows and sprinkles is right up Lillys ally!!
