With a couple days off of school we had a really nice and long Easter weekend.
Take a look at how we celebrated:
Take a look at how we celebrated:
Colored Eggs
After hard boiling a couple dozen eggs, the kids had a fun time decorating them. Baby Girl elected to keep hers a soft, plain pastel wile the Little Man went with bold color, markers and stickers. The kids also painted some permanent foam eggs that we can keep, but I didn't get a photo of those.
You can click here to see some examples of these foam eggs that I have decorated myself.
Glowy Eggs
One of our favorite activities is to have a glow-in-the-dark egg hunt. Or to be more accurate I should say; a rip-open-the-eggs-as-fast-as-you-can-and-take-out-the-glow-sticks-hunt! 😀

Egg Hunt
I like to make up the kids eggs ahead of time and assign them each a specific color or theme. Then I can make sure that they each get the same number of eggs with the same exact fillings. No squabbles here 😉
Easter morning this year was cold and rainy, so we had their egg hunt in the living room.
Brunch
Left: Strawberry, orange, banana smoothies decorated with bunny peeps.
Right: Cinnamon rolls, cheesy egg and hash brown casserole and bacon.
The egg casserole is really simple; just layer hash browns, beaten eggs, green pepper and cheese in a greased baking dish. Season to taste with garlic, onion powder, salt and pepper and bake at 350. Your time will vary depending on how large (or deep) your casserole is. I set my timer for 30 minutes and then go from there, adding time as needed.

In addition to the 'Eastery' activities listed here, there was also quite a bit of turkey hunting (Husby), neighborhood walks, bubble blowing and playing outside. It was a great weekend!
