Easter 2016

Lots and lots of pictures on the blog today! We had a fun filled, jam packed weekend and I took enough pictures that put my phone right back into the 'critically low storage' mode... again. (I know I'm not the only one that faces this problem every other week.)

We started off Good Friday with a trip to the Children's Museum, which was a total hit with mister man. In other words, he acted like he owned the place. I wonder where he gets that from... Saturday we hit up the Egg Scramble - complete with the biggest Easter egg hunt I've ever seen, bubbles, and pony rides. Later that day, we checked out some bluebonnets - they're just so pretty! Sunday we attended Church and hung out with family.

It was really a great weekend celebrating our savior, Jesus Christ, and spending time with those we love. I hope everyone's Easter weekend was wonderful!

Bunny Bait Printable

A couple of weeks ago I decided to make a fun Easter-themed printable for baby B's school party. Feeling ahead of the game with a plan in motion, I later found out that we didn't need to supply any treats for this party. So instead of it going to waste, I'm going to share my little print with you!

All you need is:
  • the Bunny Bait printable
  • white cardstock
  • treat of choice (this recipe looks yum)
  • treat bags (these work great!)
  • scissors
  • staple

Then, just download, print and cut out. Fill the bags with a scoop of the Easter treat, then fold the design over the treat bag and staple shut. Another super easy, affordable treat idea.

(No picture of the finished product this time... Sorry!)

Enjoy!

Easter Basket - Toddler Style

Easter is right around the corner, and I'm so looking forward to it. Easter is a special holiday to me, not only because we're celebrating the resurrection of Jesus Christ, but also because it's the day my husband proposed to me. So many great things have happened to and for us on this very special holiday.

Last Easter, baby B was just a few months old, so we didn't really go all out on his Easter basket. This year is another story. Ok, maybe we're not going all out, but we're certainly playing Easter bunny and stuffing that basket!
He's obviously (in my opinion, anyways) a little too young for candy. So, instead we're packing it full of toddler appropriate goodies! Instead of marshmallow peeps, I found these awesome Peep Bubbles at World Market, and let's be honest - what toddler doesn't love bubbles!? Also at World Market, I found some fun egg shaped chalk that I just couldn't pass up. Also, in lieu of candy, I picked up some bright colored plastic eggs that I'm going to fill with snacks, like Goldfish, cheerios, and puffs.

We're Mickey Mouse fans in our household, so Mickey socks are a must! Gotta love that Target discount bucket. I also included a Jack Mickey & the Beanstalk book, some bunny rabbit sunglasses, and crayons to spark his imagination -- just hopefully not on my walls. ;)

Easter festivities, here we come!

Oh, and Easter egg scramble, we've been waiting for you. Bring it on!
