For our Easter arrangement this year, I painted some hazel branches with off-white emulsion, leftover from decorating our living-room and hung pink and white eggs on them. Sadly it doesn't photograph too well.

I love to celebrate Easter by baking lots of treats for my family. All diets are off for Easter! Mini Hot Cross Buns.
My first attempt at making Parisian-style Macaroons.

Another time I would bake them at a lower temperate and for longer, as they browned slightly at the recommended temperature. This recipe is in the current Delicious magazine.
No Easter is complete without Chocolate Crispie Nests!

I just have a wreath to finish and then our decorations are complete.
On Easter Sunday our children usually have an Easter egg hunt. This year I asked them if they were too old for a hunt and Jay cheekily said, with a big grin, "Yes, just give us the chocolate!" So tomorrow they will have their Easter Eggs and I will try to resist hiding a couple of goodies that I have stashed in the cupboard, but I'm not making any promises! They may be too old for a hunt, but I'm not!:)
"Happy Easter Everyone"
