Easter was lots of fun this year. We were so excited to spend our first Easter with our new church family, and we had lots of activities leading up to the day.

March 2023 Fun
As my previous post explains, we have been pretty busy between Spring Break, Easter, starting a new company, and life in general. March was a really fun month though! Check out all the fun below.
Easter 2022
Life is currently so crazy, but I have lots to share over the next few months! First up is Easter. Yes, it is a few weeks late, but such is life right now. We celebrated Easter a few times to make sure we saw as much of our family this year as possible.
Easter Baskets 2022
I am a little late, but I still wanted to share our Easter baskets from this year.
Easter Pictures 2022
We recently had Melody’s Easter pictures taken for the year. She was actually really brave and wanted to take pictures with the baby lamb. Usually we opt for the baby chicks because they aren’t as scary to her, but she was determined to sit with the lamb. Luckily my cousins were there and had no fears. So she was able to warm up to the lamb through them! I thought the pictures turned out adorable!
Easter 2021
So we decided to keep Easter low key this year. I also scheduled my second dose of the COVID-19 vaccine the day before, so we couldn’t travel. My dad worked as well. So we ended up visiting my parents after my vaccine appointment, and we spent Easter at home. Emily, Justin, and the kids came over that evening for dinner and an egg hunt. Low key and relaxing. I even got a nap in on Easter Day!
Easter Pictures 2021
I totally meant to share these pictures yesterday, but life has happened, and I have been busy. I am hoping to get back to blogging more though! So we had these pictures taken by my aunt a few weeks ago. It took Melody a bit to warm up, but she did so well in the end!
Easter Holiday Storage Basket
I made an Easter Storage Basket for all of my holiday things just like I did for Valentine’s Day! I included Easter plates, Easter napkins, and Easter cupcake liners. I used the same pink bread basket.
Easter Baskets 2021
I wanted to share with you some of the Easter baskets I made this year. I didn’t try and use another item for a basket like I have in years past. I went traditional yet practical. I am also sharing some Easter egg fillers at the end of the post!
Quarantine Fun
So being told you have to stay home for the foreseeable future and you can’t see anyone else is hard. So to say we have had fun may come as a surprise. We do really, really miss our family and friends, BUT we have enjoyed the slowness and time together. Melody is a fun age where we don’t have to take things too seriously if we don’t want too, but she does thrive on schedule. So we have tried to maintain a schedule while having lots of fun too! And we are getting to FaceTime our family and friends which helps! Below are some of the pictures from our quarantine time in March and April!
Painted Chick
We did this craft before Easter, but I think it also can be a craft you can do anytime. It is another unique craft in that you don’t use a paint brush. And if your kid is a little older, they should be able to do it all without little help!
Fingerprint Cross
So while we did this craft as an Easter craft, it can definitely be a craft you can do anytime of year. We plan to display this cross year around. Because of this, I did it on a canvas instead of regular paper. But this also can be done on regular paper too!
Painting with Easter Eggs
If you are like me, you now have tons of those plastic Easter eggs laying around this week. Well one thing you can do with them is have your kids paint with them! You can make this as simple or as elaborate as you want. I let Melody pick 4 paint colors. Then we took two eggs and separated them. Then she used the inside of each egg to paint.
Easter Weekend 2020
As I mentioned on Easter, it is a different one this year. We made the best of the entire weekend though. We spent a lot of time outside on Saturday since it was supposed to be stormy and rainy on Sunday. We ended up cooking a nice lunch and spending the day hunting eggs, watching church, and FaceTiming family!
Unexpectedly Homeschooling Week Five
This week has been a fairly quiet week as far as anything new goes that impacts us. We kept our focus on Easter this week, and we also spent a lot of time outside when we could.
Easter Pictures 2020
Easter is definitely not the same this year as previous years. We won’t be spending it with family outside of the three of us. We won’t be having our lunch at Texas de Brazil. And we won’t be able to make it to our church. We are very thankful for technology though. We will still be able to FaceTime our families today. We will likely order a nice lunch. And we can watch church via our computers. Happy [unique] Easter everyone!
Bunny Mask
The bunny mask is the last of my Easter specific crafts, I think. These last two weeks have been full of Easter and spring crafts. And there are definitely some more spring crafts to come, and even a fun after-Easter craft next week too! What is kind of neat about this craft is you can do this with a variety of animals too.
Button Crosses
These crosses required a lot of help from me, but they still turned out semi-cute. Melody also really enjoyed it too.
Easter Bunny Canvas Painting
With all of this time at home, we are crafting like crazy! So I have lots of Easter crafts to squeeze in this week for you. This one is a lot easier if you have something like a Silhouette Cameo. Although with some adhesive vinyl and some scissors, you can likely do something similar that isn’t as precise!
Easter Egg Painting Craft
So this is another craft we did during our homeschooling days. It didn’t go quite like I had planned, but Melody wanted to do it her way. And it wasn’t worth the battle, ha! I will explain as I go along as to what I had hoped she would do.
