Easter Madness

It is only 2 more weeks until Easter. I have been busy decorating the house the last few days and got a few bits Matthew and me can do leaning towards Easter.

This is my Easter mantel piece this year. Every decoration on there I actually got from my  mum so it is even more special to have them on the mantel piece and look at them everyday. And here is just a few close ups:

I love these small wooden chicks.

These bunnies are so cool. There is about 5 of them. They all have an instrument.

I am not a big fan of pink stuff normally but I think this porcelain pink bunny has something.

Now that Matthew is nearly old enough to understand Easter and look for eggs in the garden I bought him an Easter basket in the local Dealz shop. I can’t wait to fill it with a small present and some chocolate. Lately he is so obsessed with chocolate but he is only allowed to have some at the weekend. Even though daddy can give in sometimes and give him a treat during the week.

The bunny decoration in the basket I actually got from a friend the other day. It’s an egg with a bunny and flowers on it and you can paint it. I am going to do this with Matthew one of these days and hang it on our Easter tree in the kitchen.

I picked up this egg decorating kit in the local dealz shop too. We are going to blow out the eggs and decorate them so they look like a chicken and a rabbit. It is going to be so much fun.

How cool are my Easter eggs hanging out the front garden? I don’t know if this is a thing you would do in the UK or Ireland but it is traditional in Germany and I’d like to keep the German traditions.

I am in the middle of getting the garden ready for the Summer but I haven’t got anywhere yet but I have to say I am very proud of my front porch. What do you think?

Have you started decorating your house for Easter yet or are you even going to? What are the plans for Easter in your house? Are you doing an Easter egg hunt or doing some crafts?
