Bunnies & Baskets

We don't usually have the typical Bunnies and Baskets Easter celebration at our house, but this year I decided to add a little fun to the spiritual festivities. Luca and Acacia had a lot of fun decorating eggs, planting magic seeds and ransacking through their special treats.


These little bunny ears fit Acacia perfectly and were a lot of fun--not to mention adorable. You have to love the $1 special finds at Target!


Thanks to a creative suggestion by one of our friends, we decided to plant magic Easter seeds in our backyard. The night before Easter morning we planted 4 "magic" chocolate Easter egg seeds and by the next morning they had sprouted into yummy lolli-pops. Luca and Acacia were so excited to pick them.

I picked out a few special prizes for each of the kiddos and put it in a little basket for them to rummage through. I may be a bah-humbug mom when it comes to Easter, but I just can't get into the whole Easter Bunny madness on such a spiritual holiday. I guess maybe I'm just not quite sure what the Easter Bunny is supposed to represent. Luca and Acacia didn't seem to care that the presents were from Mom and Dad rather than they Easter Bunny; they were just excited to get new things.
