EASTER PARTY 2021

 Another pandemic Easter calls for a little extra fun. I absolutely love putting together special little parties and this one is just SO sweet. We did an afternoon snacks and even it may seem like we went all out, it was really easy to put together. Cookies, donuts, strawberries, mini eggs & peeps make for a fun little afternoon!


















The girls especially loved all the sweet pastel bunny details.  The best little afternoon party with some sweet treats!

BERRY BASKETS

I've shared my Easter basket for the kids this year already, but I wanted to share a fun idea for these little Berry Baskets. Theyre a really small size but they're perfect for filling with a few small special items. 






I got each of the kids to help me with adding in a few fun Easter items for their siblings. Each child will be getting one which has been filled with items that their siblings have added in for them. We used some small shops items but also included alot of little goodies from the dollar store and Walmart as well. You could definitely fill them cost effective items that won't break the bank. 

The girls baskets include hair accessories, socks, mini spatulas, candies, sunglasses, pencils,  and chapstick. And for Ben's we included pencils, erasers, gifts cards and chapstick. A few other fun items you could include from the dollar store would be notepads, stationary, treats, nail polish, hair clips, headbands, socks, garden seeds, little cars, sunglasses, playing cards or baking accessories. Just a few fun ideas!


Here's what we included in our berry baskets.

EASTER EGG HUNT



The last few years we've made an annual trip to a local farm for an Easter Egg hunt out in the open air. It's been such a highlight during the Easter season, and my kids love running around outside looking for eggs. Sadly, I know this year we won't be able to make it out either due to the pandemic.

I love the idea of them outdoors picking eggs and so I decided to take a morning out to our local park to do a fun simple egg hunt on one of the more secluded trails. I didn't fill any of the eggs, but told the kids to help Annie with finding eggs and filling her basket. Once they were all picked up, I would surprise them with a little Easter treat. We chose a warm and sunny day, and it was SO perfect.




Annie had the best time walking back and forth on the trail looking for little eggs for her basket. The girls loved helping her find them one at a time, and Ben was happy exploring the trails while we looked around. I packed a few treats to give them after and they were so happy. 


Next time I do this, I'd love to have someone helping me with keeping the kids busy while I actually hid the eggs (that was their request for next time!) and getting an actual little bag or big egg to fill with some fun little treats. 









But these sweet memories are so precious and I loved that they got to do it outside. (Our westcoast weather makes it hard to count on a sunny day...so picking a sunny morning to do it when it's dry can be so helpful!)







And the girls dresses from Mini and Me Official were perfect for the occasion. They are so swingy, flowy and soft. They love wearing them. And the best part is - they wash so well in the washing machine and look like just like a fancy party dress without any uncomfort.

Ellie's bright pink here and Maddie's soft pink here. They are gorgous and soft, and wash incredibly well in the washing machine. 

Cherishing these sweet moments with these little ones.
