2011 Easter Happenings

Last year I was browsing Martha Stewart's site and I found all of her great template for chicks and bunnies. I like to go above and beyond for holidays...so I thought I would give some of her ideas a go. =) I didn't do them exactly according to her directions, but they work. They are double-sided. I just bought some really cute scrap booking paper and traced her template twice. I cut out the bases of the bunnies and chicks from cardboard.

I made everyone name place cards...I really love how adorable they are!
 I put all of my bunnies and chicks in the middle of the table with Easter grass.
I found some colorful egg holders and egg candles at Ross. LOVE!
 My family hardly fits at the table anymore.
 We had to add a little card table at the end of the table to fit everyone at one table. =)
 My Mom and Dad with all of their grand-kids.
 They are all crazy. =)
 The fabulous five! =) My siblings and I....and I didn't even try to rhyme! =P
 Dad is giving instructions for the "Easter Egg Hunt"...since the kids aren't so little anymore he changed the hunt up a little bit. He bought everyone gift cards to Walmart and had them hid all over the first floor. Everyone had to find the gift card with their name on it.
 It was a lot of fun to watch them scramble all over the first floor looking for their names. =)
My sister made these Rice Krispie Easter Baskets...they were so cute. They are actually really easy to make. I found a really good tutorial at Balancing Beauty and Bedlam
 My niece and I decorated some cupcakes for Easter.
 We used Wilton's tips...tip 129 for the purple flowers, tip 2 for the center dots, 
tip 17 for the peach flowers, tip 233 for the grass.
 Oh, how I love these carrots! =)
I'm sure I'll cook something up for this Easter as well. =)

'Hop-py' Easter idea hunting. =P (corny, I know)
