Easter isn’t a big holiday around our house (don’t worry, I’m not going to start a conversation about religion). But my older daughter seems particularly excited about it this year, so we hauled out the box of Easter decorations that we used when I was a kid. How sweet are these? And also sad with those missing ears. If you like this kind of thing, The Wooden Wagon has some really sweet decorations.
When I was a kid, my mother would get a branch from the yard every spring, spray it white and put it in a pot to make an Easter tree. We hung sweet little eggs and wooden decorations on it. These little birds in the front still have some gummy stuff on them from where my mother would affix them to a branch. Really sweet. I may try to do it this year with my kids. My mom also made a giant egg-shaped cake surrounded by green sprinkles and jelly beans, which we loved of course. This year, I think I’m going to try Bakerella’s Easter egg cake pops (less elaborate, just with sprinkles, I think). And I think that’s a baking project that needs to be done without little hands helping. So we’ll see how that goes.
