Our Egg Tree

My family has always decorated a branch of a tree with real hand-blown painted eggs for Easter.   I have about a dozen left that my great-grandmother made.

Here are some cute Easter decorations that we have around the house.

 Happy "early" Easter!

Our "Real" Egg Tree

Every year when I was a kid my family would hand-blow eggs, paint them, and place them on a branch of the sassafras tree. This is a tradition I plan to continue with our little family. The eggs on this branch were painted by my great-grandmother many years ago. So from our family to yours Happy Easter and may you carry on a little tradition year after year.

Easter Songs and crafts

 The girls made these easy "Hosanna" branches to use in church on Palm Sunday, but we also use them as Easter Egg holders.  Just use a sheet of green construction paper, fringe it with scissors, wrap the paper around a toilet paper roll, and secure with tape for a "Hosanna" branch.

Add an Easter Egg for an egg holder... we also like to have races around the house with this one. If the egg falls out, you have to go back to the front door and start again.

I can't believe Easter is just 2 weeks away. I discovered this site on Friday and it's really great. Delicious Ambiguity has a wonderful Easter song book to download here.
