Easter Cookies & Decor

Yay for Easter week, a favorite time of year.  Spring is in the air and summer isn't far away.  The days are lighter longer and we prepare to celebrate The Resurrection.  Our church always has a great service and I'm looking forward to it and a nice brunch after.  We know Easter isn't really about bunnies and eggs, but it doesn't hurt to be playful with those things!<br /><br /><br /><br />I found the cutest sugar cookies for my son's class Easter party at Whole Foods.  I hope the kids like them- but I think they will since he already tasted and approved. <br /><br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhToBRCcSXOdrf9UoPNBDrdB_tEjz7vW2OvdGYHIDUIjDX_2vqFpvVSy4a0ZXvYMeyGiZhnNV5A1LRvCBMgshbzpu8jSvzxcQiptZTPERpy-h4fMTb5Mn7qLRvLCHdFLVFIBbh98sYxuzmI/s1600/Easter+Cookies.10.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="424" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhToBRCcSXOdrf9UoPNBDrdB_tEjz7vW2OvdGYHIDUIjDX_2vqFpvVSy4a0ZXvYMeyGiZhnNV5A1LRvCBMgshbzpu8jSvzxcQiptZTPERpy-h4fMTb5Mn7qLRvLCHdFLVFIBbh98sYxuzmI/s640/Easter+Cookies.10.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />And for just $5 I picked up this adorable, colorful felt egg banner at Target.  Sometimes $5 is worth saving the time and effort of creating a craft project from scratch. </div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyrU407xmEK3bvh_1TJ4d5WzKCwl5cBbSBT_HxfzbtJa8Jdj7XYdDWOzS9IhG1pOCH4oRNseQGMpEFI0BPP9uXz_qp7m8dKEKxjLiHAphpWocVFz89SrMbQdMAM6menwLW_f007BgIzvLU/s1600/Honey+We're+Home.25.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="424" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyrU407xmEK3bvh_1TJ4d5WzKCwl5cBbSBT_HxfzbtJa8Jdj7XYdDWOzS9IhG1pOCH4oRNseQGMpEFI0BPP9uXz_qp7m8dKEKxjLiHAphpWocVFz89SrMbQdMAM6menwLW_f007BgIzvLU/s640/Honey+We're+Home.25.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />The lovely lamp and faux potted hydrangea are from Pottery Barn.</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7AWaTmvWG_KCbHIkuloxL2Dv-jA17Vzggw7ip1sFTCFg_jq-6UFoEdyZkHQBsul4kg_jtpEpKJRTwQFwJMbTIUMZCMiHoCdppQF85tjeAbhNyerX1N9w6LWoitmARdK1Ynpiyg9rUBSzU/s1600/Honey+We%2527re+Home.28.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7AWaTmvWG_KCbHIkuloxL2Dv-jA17Vzggw7ip1sFTCFg_jq-6UFoEdyZkHQBsul4kg_jtpEpKJRTwQFwJMbTIUMZCMiHoCdppQF85tjeAbhNyerX1N9w6LWoitmARdK1Ynpiyg9rUBSzU/s640/Honey+We%2527re+Home.28.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />On our breakfast table is my dough bowl filled with large and small pastel colored eggs- from Hobby Lobby. </div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheQjwuyFVKQG37yqH3P5ClGBSmf8hkMEzazAL46paZ1xNWSy2AyUGc7LIBsjRIrA9q1goRH4QGgbWNKkfYWkCPcxGgzj8J3mDU6hTo0iImdv0psCbhzS2C4v7aVkVy4DIwjO4WW3jtt1o6/s1600/Honey+We're+Home.37.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="424" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheQjwuyFVKQG37yqH3P5ClGBSmf8hkMEzazAL46paZ1xNWSy2AyUGc7LIBsjRIrA9q1goRH4QGgbWNKkfYWkCPcxGgzj8J3mDU6hTo0iImdv0psCbhzS2C4v7aVkVy4DIwjO4WW3jtt1o6/s640/Honey+We're+Home.37.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />Do you have Easter plans?</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />* * * * * </div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><br /></div><br /><br /><br /><br />
