Easter Time 2011

Easter means something different to everyone. In our house, with 2 little boys, it's all about the Easter Bunny and the choclates he brings. So, what did the Easter Bunny bring the boys this year? They got a Humpty Dumpty egg each as well as a big colouring in pack, and went on a egg hunt. OK, so its not much, but the boys don't eat a lot of chocolate and lollies through the year, so it's pretty exciting for them. They dont even eat all of the chocolate they get as it is, so any more would be a waste.

We started off by having fish, chips and salad and a banana split for dessert (i even made my own peanut brittle to sprinle over it, and my own chocolate sauce) on Good Friday.
Master B was VERY disappointed that we werent decorating the WHOLE HOUSE in easter decorations, so we did a last minute Easter Table.

A couple of the decorations included things that the boys had made. they decorated 3 eggs each and also made their baskets. Not only were they quiet, they also were happy to be included in the easter celebrations. After all, it's all about the kids!! The baskets weren't perfect, but they were perfect for OUR day!!

Easter Sunday we started off with pancakes for breakfast. Then I made my own hotcross buns, and also made some cupcakes. The day is all about stuffing your self silly with yummy food. Then we just the day together as a family.

Whatever way it is you like to spend your Easter, just remember, kids are impressed by the simple things. It didn't take much for the boys to think this is the greatest Easter ever!!
