Laurel had everything arranged so beautifully, she had hidden little chocolate eggs all over the house for us to hunt. She had an assortment of dips, chips, and crackers, but we went right into the dinner.







I made an Easter Egg Tree, with six plastic eggs hanging from it as a centerpiece, and hid little foiled wrapped bunnies in it. I couldn't find a small branch, so I made it from coat hangers, and wire, painted gold, with a white 4" x 4" base of plywood.

When my kids were little, we lived in Sacramento California I had them to make these trees as gifts for their grandparents one Easter. I also use to make an "Easter Basket Cake" for them, which I hoped would be a tradition.




We are Easter egg hunting, looking for foiled wrapped chocolate eggs, hidden all over the place, it was fun,


We had these little chick cups to put them in.
