Egg Hunt

Jaxon had his first Easter egg hunt yesterday and it was a total success! After we painted some eggs, we headed off to a local park where the Easter bunny left some fun surprises. Jaxon loved it so much that he kept saying Mooooorrrrre so I had to take some eggs out of his basket and hide them again.

BACK OFF, THIS EGG IS MINE! 

Some one should tell my kid this isn't the hunger games and he is the only one hunting for eggs ;)

Sharing with daddy

By the amount of chocolate on his (brand new) shirt, I think this egg hunt was a success!

Painting Easter Eggs

I am so glad we ended up dying and painting Easter eggs this year. I was going to skip it because I didn't think Jaxon would even like it. Boy, was I wrong. This kid was screaming "yeah, yeah, yeaaaaaaaah" the whole time! He was in heaven. Having a kid makes holidays so much better. I am sucker for traditions and all the kid activities and now I have an excuse to do them with out being look at as "too old." Anyone else with me on this? I mean trick-or-treating... um, heck yes!!

We then went on his first egg hunt.

Holiday Sign

 
Okay so it is a holiday and Seasons sign but when it is Spring and Summer here in Utah after a long winter I feel as if it is more of a holiday . . . whose with me on that one? . . . yes everyone agrees who lives in Utah, I thought so!

Here is what you need:

12×6 Big Board (with a hole on the right side for the knob)

2-Small Boards (two holes on each corner for ribbon)

1 Sheet of Designer Polka Dot Paper

4 Sheets of Holiday Paper

Vinyl: It’s Spring, Summer, 4th of July, Easter (you can mix it up but this is what I did)

Brown ribbon or I used tulle

1 Knob

Mod Podge

Foam Brush

Sand Paper

Here is how to do it:
*Mod Podge all the wood like I did in these picture frames with any color paper you wish
*Sand off edges
*Stain (if you wish) the edges of the board
*Screw in knob of your choice (hobby lobby or anthropology has cute knobs)
*Stick the vinyl (make sure to do it as low to the bottom as possible so the ribbon or tulle doesn't cover it
*Thread the ribbon through and hang
*DISPLAY and wait for chocolate to appear!



Okay, back to reality. Hurry and get this done before Easter because if you're like me then you will want this baby sitting in your house reminding you that CHOCOLATE is on it’s way!!

  Since Easter is only one day and lets face it here in Utah it seems to not feel like spring until May so I made the flip side to say spring so when Easter is over I can still have it out.

 It goes perfect with my other decor. Don't you just love the carrot garland. You can seem to make anything into a garland these days.

I have another wood saying to hang on the "IT'S" board and I will be displaying that later because it says summer and on the flip side it says the 4th of July.
