Bunny Business

Easter has always been a holiday in flux. Our traditions aren't nearly so entrenched at Easter as they are at Christmas. We've really tried to incorporate both Smith and Green Easter traditions - with mixed results.

Diamond grew up with a "jelly bean trail" - so we have tried to work that in:


Diamond's family had put together baskets, so we have baskets too:



My family always had to find hidden "nests" - with each kid having a different color to find. We tried to incorporate that as well by having the kids find plastic eggs:


Somehow they each ended up with TWO baskets!?! One basket they had to find and one basket to collect the plastic eggs.

The boys never know what to expect when they wake up Easter morning. Go figure. I'm never sure what's going to happen either.

I like the jellybean trail idea. One year we did a yarn maze to their baskets. The kids had a lot of fun with that one too. It looks like they had a great time!

You did great! They look happy!Easter seems to be one of a couple holidays where we wing it each year too. But the kids don't know the difference.
