Easter
this year kind of got lost in amongst the frenzy of birthdays, party planning,
prop making and cake decorating. We did, however, take a bit of time
out to observe our regular traditions.
After waking
up to discover what the Easter Bunny brought us, we had fun with a little
egg hunt. It's way too hot up here to hide real chocolate eggs in the
backyard, so we hide these cute little cardboard numbers that I found in Crazy
Clarke's Discount Store a couple of years ago. They came in a kit with masks to colour, cardboard baskets and "this way" arrows all for around $2!
When
the boys have found the correct number of their assigned eggs, they
exchange them with me for a variety of goodies. Chocolate eggs, of
course, sometimes we decorate biscuits and this year, in a feeble attempt to minimize the
amount of sugar consumed, I added a few Lego mini-figures into the
mix.
Then Grandad joined us for a lovely family Easter lunch of roast lamb and vegetables with homemade mint sauce followed by a decadent gluten free chocolate brownie. (I did say my efforts to avoid sugar were feeble!)
I also added a couple of other additions that I've been longing to do since the advent of Pinterest. An Easter tree...
As
well as some Easter bunting...
I made this by photocopying some pages - fittingly from the novel Chocolat (I can't bear the thought of tearing up a book, no matter how good the end result looks!) - and glued a few egg shaped scrapbook papers to them before
pegging to some ribbon.
Rohan enjoyed his first taste of chocolate too...
Hope you had a lovely Easter.
What a lovely post! Love the Easter Bunting!! And Rohah's cake pictures are so cute!! xx
