{little easter moments} easter baskets

We had such a beautiful Easter weekend.

We all enjoyed some much needed quiet time together,

and the children enjoyed the little Easter activities we planned for them.

The Easter baskets were a big hit.

The beautiful boy and I had decorated them

in the week leading up to Easter weekend

(he made patterns with Easter stickers on one side

and I painted and glued Easter ribbon to the other side).

They each had a pair of cute bunny ears,

three new BabyLit books 

(these books are big favourites of everyone in our house)

and a bunny rabbit soft toy each from Jellycat.

Watching their faces light up at the sight of their Easter baskets

was just the cutest thing.

He instantly remembered helping to decorate them

and excitedly showed Daddy his handiwork

and then got really excited about his new books.

She launched straight at her bunny ears

and instantly knew they needed to go on her head,

before grabbing her new bunny for a cuddle;

that kid is soft toy mad at the moment.

The beautiful boy's bunny had a blue ribbon around his neck

and has been named Grayson

after his grey fur.

The beautiful girl's bunny had a yellow ribbon around his neck

and has been named Bailey

after his creamy coloured fur.

She added Alice in Wonderland (a colour book),

Anna Karenina (a fashion book) 

and The Jungle Book (an animal book)

to our BabyLit collection.

While he added Sherlock Holmes (a sounds book),

Huckleberry Finn (a camping book)

and Moby Dick (an ocean book).

Their Easter baskets happily kept them entertained for most of the day.

With them looking at their new things,
reading their new books,

taking things in and out of the baskets

to carry around the living room,
and cuddling Grayson and Bailey.

Pop back tomorrow for more photos from our Easter,

there were just too many little Easter moments for just one post.
