Easter 2014

The week before Easter there was a free breakfast with the Easter Bunny at the Mall.  Very simple, but very nice.  Hot Chicken Biscuits to eat, visit with the Bunny and cookie decorating rounded out the activities.  Not many people know about it - but it's totally worth it.  I found out about it on FB.  They also do it December with Santa.  Saved me $30 for a stinkin' picture.

The last day of school before the TWELVE DAY Easter break, the school had an Easter Egg Hunt at a local park.

Gianna ended up dumping her collected eggs into her friend's basket.  She ended up with none.  She also gave her coat off her back to her chilly little friend.  She's got quite a precious heart, that girl.

 The night before Easter Gianna and I went outside to play with sidewalk chalk. She made a great rainbow...

I added the cross.

God added the sunset. 

We three make a pretty good team.

Speaking of crosses, Gianna and I made these (instead of edible treats) to add to her school friends' Easter baskets...

 I had some air-dry clay (Crayola, I think) that I never used.  We used gems, buttons and pony beads to adorn them.  We added paper clips and ribbons so they could be hung. I was so pleased with how the came out.

Had a little Easter Egg Hunt at our friends' house.  They were so cute.

On Easter morning, my little bunny followed the bunny trail I made so quickly that I couldn't video or photograph her properly.  She honestly didn't give a though about the Easter basket until she saw the bunnies I left in the hallway. I bought NO Easter candy this year, just used the stuff she got from school, Valentine's day, etc.

Here are past years...

My inlaws sent Gianna her Easter dress this year. She looked adorable...
