Our Easter Table

The flowers had just started to bloom at Stephen’s parent’s house so we decorated the table!

I made these hot cross buns, which I was really excited about.

They were really cute.

But, I didn’t think they were that great.  I’d rather have my grandma’s cinnamon rolls if I’m going to go to all the trouble of waiting for dough to rise!

Easter Egg Hunts

Jaden got to hunt for Easter eggs at church with the Sunday School and at Grandma H’s house.

And later he hunted advocados at mommy’s house!

Other Easter Activities

Making Easter Cards.

Jaden colored some Easter cards to send to some special people.  Here is what we did.

I printed egg outlines on some white paper and he set to work coloring them.

Here is the finished product (I had to help a bit by drawing some snowmen around the edges)

Hmmm…silly me didn’t take a picture of the finished product!

Well, I cut out the eggs and glued them onto a cardstock backing that was about ½ inch wider than the colored egg.  Then I wrote  a note from Jaden to the person in permanent marker and mailed them.  Hmmm…need to remember to take pictures of the FINISHED product!  Grrr!  Well, they were really cute!

We also played with plastic Easter eggs.  I started Jaden sorting the eggs by color in egg cartons.

He had fun with that for a short while but then, mommy started making dinner.  He wanted to put his Easter eggs in the skillet and cook too.  NOT such a great idea.  So, I got out a bowl and a pot and some spoons and he spent a good half an hour “cooking” his Easter eggs.
