Did everyone have a happy Easter?

I know my kids did. Easter really snuck up on me this year. We didn’t even go see the Easter Bunny and get pictures! I couldn’t believe it.

But the Easter Bunny was still kind enough to stop by our house with a few gifts and candy filled plastic eggs.

For lunch we went to my sister’s house and my nieces hid eggs for my boys and my cousin’s girls. And by hid, I mean they tossed them around the yard for the little kids to pick up.

Ian would run around grab a couple then put them in his basket. He was also really good about sharing and making sure his cousins and brother got some. After all the eggs were found, he picked up his basket and said ‘Whew. Dats a lot of eggs. I’m a natural.’

For dinner we went to one of my aunt’s house where these was a lot of family and good food.

Sid even got some ice cream for dessert.

I think these kids had more sugar yesterday than they did on Halloween!

Ian has his Easter party at school today.
So what do I volunteer to bring?
Juice boxes of course because I can make them look like super cute little bunnies.
I found these Hansen’s Junior Juice
boxes and thought the would be perfect because there are just 4.23 oz, a perfect size for little 4 & 5 year olds.

I used my Silhouette Cameo to cut out all the parts for the bunny.

I was grateful that I had two mats! I could load another one to cut, while I was taking all these little parts off.
I then just glued them all together and wrapped around the boxes.

I made 20 boxes and was able to use one 12×12″ sheet of pink card stock, scrap pieces of black and 7 sheets of 8.5×11″ white card stock. I also had the googly eyes, so I only had to buy the juice boxes, which I got 20 for less than $7.

I also broke out my Cameo to make a letter matching egg game. I got the eggs 18/$1 and I already had the vinyl. I cut out an upper case and a lower case letter, and put them on different colored eggs.

I put the upper case on the top half and lower case on the bottom half. The kids then would match the two letter s together.
