Building Bunny Nests

One of my favorite memories from when I was a kid was building bunny nests at my Mom and Papa's house. We would build them the day before Easter. It was a tradition that my grandmother was carrying over from when she was a kid. It was always so much fun to get to Mom and Papa's after Easter worship services so that we could see what the bunny had left for us. My mama has continued the tradition with my girls and with Noah. So, Saturday we headed outside to build nests with the kids.

Ellie talked Mimi into trimming flowers and leaves off her bushes for her nest.

Ellie was having too much fun!


Josh showed Noah the proper technique for building a nest. The theory was always the bigger the nest the larger the stash that would be left.

Noah lost interest, but Josh was determined to make it perfect!

Just a side note...about 10 am Easter morning, the bottom fell out of the sky! Fortunately, the bunny saw fit to leave the kids' prizes inside the house. :) He's such a smart bunny!
