Decorating for Easter

With Easter coming up in a couple of weeks I decided to pull out our Easter decor and add a few festive touches around the house. It's mainly just bunnies everywhere!

I've kept it subtle with just a few small items here and there but it has us looking forward to the Easter weekend and the chocolate ;)

Our Easter 2016

I hope you've all had a wonderful Easter weekend!

We've had 4 days filled with family, relaxing and lots and lots of food and chocolate.

Good Friday was spent pottering around the house, driving teenagers out to the Easter Show and having fish and chips for dinner. I even pulled out my bunny slippers that night to get into the Easter vibe, although this was the first Easter we've had in a while that was still quite warm and humid.

On Saturday morning we tried to squeeze in some fruits for breakfast with our Acai bowls to ensure we were eating something other than hot cross buns and chocolate ;)

Simon and I went to the movies in the afternoon to see My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2.

It was fun with a few laughs but definitely not as good as the first one.

On Sunday we found that the Easter Bunny had paid us a visit and the boys enjoyed finding all of the eggs that had been left for them. It was very sweet to see them walking hand in hand and sharing out the eggs. Finn stayed in bed but Noah and Jasper made up a bag of eggs for him so he didn't miss out.

We then met up with family for breakfast at my brother + sister in laws house around the corner from us. They put on a delicious spread of avocado, feta + proscuitto toasts and an amazing stack of crepes with a choc orange sauce. The cousins roamed around the garden together and burnt off some sugar on the trampoline. We recreated a photo of them all together that was taken at Easter 3 years ago.

Amazing how they grow so fast!

We then met up with more family later on at the Skiff Club and pleasantly whiled away a few hours chatting and catching up on all the news. Even more Easter Eggs were given to the kids. The amount of chocolate in the house is out of control! Time to hide some in the cupboards for a few weeks ;)

How good is that 4th day of the long weekend?!

It really felt relaxing to have that extra day to chill out and do nothing.

We all had a sleep in and a slow start to the day. Later on I made some bunny shaped pizzas to keep the Easter Celebrations going.

We've all had a really great Easter break. How was your weekend?

Did you over do the chocolate too?!

You can see how we spent our last couple of Easters here and here

Our Weekend.

It was a quiet end to the week and weekend as most of us were sick with the flu.

The weekend was pretty quiet and as the boys had recovered a bit by Sunday lunch time we were able to celebrate my brother in laws birthday at their place with a lovely lunch.

Here are some photos from the weekend -

Fresh juice all around to try and help with the coughs and sniffles

Slow mornings and snuggles

I've got to remember to take my sunglasses off for family pics!

Our Easter weekend - 2015

I think this was the most chilled out Easter we've ever had.

A combination of the rain and no family commitments meant that we were free to have a low key weekend. Also the fact that we have just moved back home meant that we were happy to do as little as possible. I think we were all just happy to potter around at home and be in our own space amongst our own things.

The weather was cooler and perfect for slippers and our warm pyjamas.

The Easter Bunny delivered some yummy eggs, books, chalk and wind up chicks.

Chocolate was consumed before breakfast, as is our Easter tradition. We then had bunny pancakes. An idea I'd seen on Pinterest and wanted to try. They were too cute!

It was a very relaxed few days with sleep ins, a few jobs completed around the house and cupcakes made. The egg chalk was a hit too and the side of our house is currently a riot of colour!

I think we've all had our chocolate fill for a while!

I'm looking forward to more relaxed days ahead as the boys are on school holidays and we love a break from routine. I can't believe this time last year we were in Hawaii. It seems so long ago!

How was your Easter?

I hope it was a relaxing one for you. What did you get up to?

The non chocolate Easter Gift Guide!

With Easter coming up soon, my mind has turned to a few non chocolate Easter gifts you can to prevent an overload of chocolate!

I know the boys will receive Easter Eggs from the Easter Bunny as well as family so I like to get them something a little different to celebrate. Usually that is a new pair of pj's, a book or a game.

Here are a few other cute ideas to go along with the Easter Eggs!
