Easter is Amelia's 2nd favorite holiday. Yes, she gets two baskets full of fun, but it is the tradition that she loves more.
We dye and paint eggs the day before.
No fancy stuff here, Amelia insists on just the standard dye and vinegar.
Her and I each paint a wooden egg as well. This year we got over ambitious and painted 2 each.
These get added to our years past collection. I love making these and we do a similar tradition at Christmas and Halloween with ornaments and pumpkins.
On Easter morning she wakes to a very intense scavenger hunt for special eggs that hold clues to where she can find "Our" basket.
After looking thru the goodies of ours, it is off to find the eggs the Easter Bunny has hid outside.
She usually finds a golden one in there too.
Then she wanders around trying to find the basket from The Easter Bunny. Why every year she has trouble...we have no idea ;)
Eventually she finds it.
and heads in to open the eggs and look thru the basket.
We stay in our pajamas all day and eat our traditional Easter Day Dinner of Ham, Mac and Cheese and Asparagus. It is all about tradition. No wonder she loves it.
Hope everyone had a wonderful Easter!
Freshman year is almost done which means...that will be the next blog post.
The eggs are beautiful! You are both so talented. I can't tell who made what.
