Easter 2013

Good Morning and Happy Belated Easter.  Warning: this is a long picture filled post.

We had a great time yesterday, christening Greg and Alyssa's new house with a Easter Lunch.  

 I arrived a little early to set the table and put out the decorations.  The two 6 foot banquet tables were a little narrower than I thought and the tablescape was a little cramped, but what the heck.  I wish I would have bought taller azalea trees so the garland would have hung a little higher, but I didn't want it to obstruct the view from person to person.  It did look cute when finished.

 I used the burlap carrots and I bought some little burlap bunnies from Joann's.  I added the burlap goodie bags filled with candy to each setting.

 We had a six year old, so he had his little plastic mustache cup, the crystal is a little heavy for him.

 I made this little bunny garland (inspired from one I'd seen on pinterest).  Really easy: cut bunnies from scrapbook paper, added little premade tails that I bought at Joann's in the scrapbook section.  Clothes-pinned to garland bought at Roger's Gardens.  When I was putting this up, the puppy got a hold of the garland and ran all over the back yard with it as Alyssa and I chased him.  Luckily he only tore it in half and we were able to fix it and use it!

 Place settings using my first set of china (eternal beau from Johnson Brothers) and goodie bags made from burlap with a bunny stenciled on them, once again inspired by some creative person on pinterest.  

What started as a craft for the 6 year old, turned into a fun time for the twenty-somethings!  They call themselves "the bunny council". 

 The bunny ears even stayed on through dinner.  We had a wonderful feast with everyone contributing a little something.

 President of The Bunny Council enjoyed this the most I think. 

 The 6 year old and the puppy playing non stop.  The 6 year old actually tiring out the puppy.

 The Bunny Council adds a few members.

We had a great day celebrating, I hope you did too!
