Happy Easter!

In our house, Easter has become a big mishmash of American and British traditions – taking the best from both, of course!

On Friday night, preparations began with egg dyeing. I loved decorating eggs when I was little – and since Pumpkin is a little too young for it this year, I did the decorating myself. It’s a good thing too, as the food colouring I’d bought at our local supermarket for the activity did not want to work.

After several attempts and almost a whole bottle of orange dye, I still had a white egg. So, I moved on to something stronger – Wilton paste dyes. These are actually meant for colouring icing when decorating cakes. But, they worked a treat on the eggs and, while the results weren’t perfect, I was happy with them.

I also made Easter devilled eggs for the Slimming World taster session on Saturday.

This morning, when Pumpkin woke up, she spent some time in bed with Daddy-man while the Easter Bunny hopped around the flat, hiding eggs and putting out gifts.

I had been worried that she might be a bit young to hunt Easter eggs, but she was a little champ! She spotted the ones in her kitchen right away and went to investigate.

She then picked each one up and put it back in the egg carton for me. We got about eight eggs out of 12 before she lost interest – but that was far better than I expected.

Then it was time to open up the gifts that the Easter Bunny had brought.

This included a chocolate egg with Frozen-themed dishes, a toy camera and, of course, an Easter bunny. The dishes were her favourites – they’re good for making noise!

Well, they were her favourites – until the chocolate eggs came out. We did the weird British? (Scottish?) tradition of rolling the eggs, then broke them open and had a bit of the sweet stuff.

At 8am.

She thought it was brilliant.

She played for a little while longer, then it was time for hot cross buns.

These are my favourite things to eat on Easter Sunday, and Pumpkin definitely preferred her piece as an alternative to her normal brown toast. Who could blame her!?

The rest of the day was pretty laid back. We had lots of play time and took a couple of walks outside, Daddy-man watched some football and I worked on my poor neglected blog.

And, of course, we watched Frozen.

When it was time for dinner, we made one of my favourite Slimming World recipes: fake KFC. It may not be traditional, but it was darn tasty!
Happy Easter!
