Our Easter Day 2023

 Before our family came over, I made up this tray. I used cookie cutters to give some of the candy shapes.





I made this Easter bark.


I got these unicorn baskets for the younger girls.


We played guessing games about how much candy was in clear jars.


I had found this kit for making a Peeps coop, and they made that.



The girls were excited!



They brought us these pretty carnations. None of the tulips in the stores had opened yet!

“Here’s for me the one big question: How do you get Crucifixion, Resurrection and then chocolate bunnies, colored eggs? How do you do that one? Even kids are going, ‘Rabbits don’t lay eggs. What is this?’”

It comes from pagan fertility celebrations that the early churches allowed into their celebration of the Resurrection. Even the name Easter comes from that.

I love how you displayed your treats. The carrot with jelly beans made me smile.

Funny I heard a sermon about eggs yesterday and they are very biblical even down to the Jesish culture.

I have to say the girls are lovely and the candy looks fun!

So many things I love on here today, Ginny. The candy tray is delightful, and what a great idea to use the cookie cutters. Love those pink pretzels. Where did you find them? I would love to bring some to the grandgirls next month. The unicorn baskets are so cute. They have the cutest baskets out now. Making the Peeps coop is a creative idea too. You know, I don't ever eat the Peeps, but they sure are cute, and have been around for so long. A sweet picture of your grands, and Anne Marie is so grown up now. Love her long hair. You did so many special things to make this holiday a special time for your family, Ginny.
