It hardly feels like Easter is right around the corner. We have been so busy with company every week [including this week] that we haven't really done anything festive. That's why I posted the Easter Round Up last week in case you wanted to do something festive and needed ideas. Sometimes, holiday madness just has to take a back seat. Can't do to it all every year. It's been really nice just to enjoy the company of family and unplug for a tid bit. I did want to share these really cute snacks the little lady and I made for her school's Easter party. I found them on Pinterest and it's pinned on my Easter Board. Peep nests. Such a clever idea for whoever thought of it.
I love this snack because she was able to help me with it. We melted the chocolate and I dunked the pretzel sticks in the chocolate and used some tongs to get them out. Once the nest was created I let her put the yellow marshmallow Peep on and the Whoppers eggs. We had a great time as usual.
They were relatively easy to make and the teacher told me they were a HUGE hit with the kiddos. Granted they all had chocolate all over their faces, but that's the fun of being a kid. And don't worry healthy moms I also sent along some strawberries to balance all this sugar.
Last week I also shared some of the things in her Easter basket. I try not to fill her basket full of candy, but with fun little trinkets. I found those adorable little eggs at Dollar Tree and a lot of the stuff at Target's dollar section. Who doesn't love PEZ?!
Putting together an Easter Basket is like making an arrangement for me. I like for it to look pretty and I like it when you can see everything inside. If you are that way too and have some heavy things in the kiddos basket [like a new Bible] then fill the bottom with stones to keep it from tipping.
Put everything in and WALA a basket!
Other than the treats the only other thing we did was dye Easter eggs. Just a tradition in my family we have done year after year. Didn't they turn out so cute?!
Do you have any fun plans this Easter?
Yum!!! I've made these before with those crunchy Asian noodles - so good! I think we have the same blue spatulas from Bed Bath and Beyond, too ;)
