This was a big Easter for us. This year we got to celebrate with friends and it was so much fun. We started our morning with the annual Easter basket hunt. Emily was thrilled to find Lush bath bombs, Pusheen the cat coasters, scented gel pens and macaroon sponges in her basket along with lots of Easter candy and other treats, too. I'd say it was a pretty good haul!
After our morning Easter celebration it was time for our friends, Abby, Josie, Molly and Paul to come over and share in some Easter fun! The weather was a little iffy most of the day but right after lunch the skies cleared for a bit and the kids got to go outside for an Easter Egg Hunt! And boy did they have fun.
After all the eggs were found, we headed back inside, just beating out the rain, for cookie decorating and egg coloring. The kids had a blast! It was fun to decorate cookies that aren't for Christmas for a change. The spring colors were super fun and the Easter sprinkles were too cute!
Then we shook off our table cloth and reset everything for an egg coloring eggstravaganza! The coloring kits this year, for whatever reason, really made some beautiful eggs. I feel like some years the colors are not so good, but this year...Wow!
Then it was fine for our big Easter dinner, complete with ham, potatoes, green beans, and rolls that looked like bunnies (kinda). Then for dessert, I made my first ever bunny cake. Not to bad for a first effort. Definitely an eggstra special Easter!
