... lining pretty baskets
Doesn't that real Easter Grass look spectacular as a backdrop for all those treats? (We put some plain tissue under the grass as a filler)
Sugar Cube Crosses: A Good Friday/Holy Saturday Tradition
Last year, we held these together using white glue. This year, sugar was held in higher regard (!), and the children used royal icing for the "glue" so that the crosses could eventually be used to sweeten their tea.

A collection so pretty, I wish I'd boiled more!

We actually forgot to do this on Easter. Instead, our "hunt" was on Monday! Taz found the silver egg. Junie B. demands a rematch. :)
A Joyous Easter Season, to one and all!
