If you have no Easter bonnet, how can you put frills upon it?

Lelly, an Easter bonnet would have been a real time saver on Sunday morning - I wouldn't have spent so much time on my hair before church!

With no Easter bonnet I had to put my frills elsewhere, like my Allsorts banner:

My paper bunnies on the mantle:

Ceramic Easter eggs from Pier 1 Imports. I love how heavy they are, and how they feel in my hand:

We always dye Easter eggs, but this year I found these cute kits at the dollar store to paint the eggs:

Chloe arranged our finished eggs in bowls. She lined the bowls with yellow paper put through our paper shredder to make the bowls look like nests:

I loved the carrot motif for Easter this year. I got the idea for the cutlery and napkins from Family Fun:

And I copied Cindy's idea (cheesies in disposable cake decorating bags) for treats for my neices and nephew at Easter dinner part II on Monday - I figured they'd had enough sweets by the time the weekend was over:

We were out of town for Easter, so Carmen and Chloe set out this carrot arrow on my parent's side walk to let the Easter bunny know where to find them:

This seemed funny to me at midnight on Saturday night, but I kind of regret it now - munched up carrots and bunny droppings (raisins) were what was left behind on the side walk when my girls checked in the morning. They thought the bunny leavings were way too funny, and wouldn't stop talking about it:

Easter chocolate is a very important frill:

I have never before bought Peeps, but after reading so many of your blogs that raved about them, I gave them a try. My 3 year old nephew and 2 year old niece liked them - they were a garnish to Sunday dinner - but my own kids weren't crazy about them. They may have been a one time thing for us:

What we really look forward to when it comes to Easter food are my mom's Hot Cross Buns. My American girl friends, who went to BYU and married Canadians, and ended up in Canada, tell me that Hot Cross Buns are a Canadian thing. I actually think they're a British thing, and Canada has held on to many traditions from our British heritage. My mom makes her usual roll recipe and adds cinnamon and raisins. She slashes the cross symbol in the top of each roll, brushes the rolls with butter, sprinkles them heavily with sugar, and then bakes them so that the sugar is crusty and yummy on top:
