Easter Week~

It was a busy week and my to do list was longer than my available time. We didn't get to all of the traditional things we usually do, but that's o.k., we did a few. L-16 set up the Easter "decoration table".

We read a few of our favorite Easter and Passover books~

The kids made felted wool balls on a warm afternoon~

P- 12 couldn't find his Easter basket, so he transformed his Halloween ghost bucket. Clever and pretty cute!

Easter morning after church~ The kids decided that we should have more pictures with parents in them~





We went to my sister's house for an egg hunt~

Family time~

And the whacking of the traditional Easter pinata!

The kids had more candy than Halloween!

My sister is an amazing party caterer and we had delicious food beautifully presented~

These tarts are made from a recipe of my mom's she called Christmas Pie.

It was a nice Easter and celebration of Christ's resurrection!

My To Do list is still sitting here on my desk. It reads:



Dye eggs- Buy cabbage and blueberries for natural dye

Make pysanky eggs

Make Hot Cross Buns

Prepare Resurrection Eggs

Watch The Ten Commandments

Buy matzoh

Make kugel and haroset

Make salt dough tomb for Good Friday

Go to Wal-mart

The only thing I did on my list was Go to Wal-Mart! Haha

Oh well, I have these memories from Easter Past:
