This was the first Easter that Violet "got it." We had a ton of fun looking for eggs and going through her basket, dying eggs and making and decorating Easter themed cookies the night before. We even have a special Easter Bunny cookie plate to leave out much like we do for Santa! Thanks Grandma!

She gets her love of sprinkles from Dad! |

Ohhhh this is going to be good! |

Yes! I knew it! |
Dying eggs was a bit less anticlimactic mostly because no eating was involved and we both were trying to hand over hand with her to avoid messes and that is not her favorite means of completing an activity because she is 2 1/2 and sooooo independent. "ME! I do it!"
We also made some bunny ears/projects earlier in the week. I think her favorite part was the glue stick of course. I know she is missing doing projects at school! I am learning that "projects" are very different with 2 1/2 year olds than the 4 year olds I'm use to working with!
She initially liked wearing the ears but then got kind of shy when we showed to Dad and Grandma via video later that night. I think she thought they were too silly LOL

squinty smile like Dad! |
The Easter Bunny numbered plastic eggs 1-10 and V matched them to a template. She is at that perfect age of soaking in all the letter/number activities we can giver her! She loves learning and "writing."
As far as the candy inside...she was a typical kid... bargaining for "1 more" and of course had a bunch before we even had breakfast ;)
