Easter party 07'

I invited 7moms(+me) and 11kids(+2 my sons) to the Easter party.

I made bunny shaped invitations and egg shaped envelopes to all.

I decorated the wall with butterflies,bunnies,eggs and flowers.

I also decorated the entrance with bunny.

Everyone brought some sweet for this party.

very cute!!

Kids made flower crowns at craft time.

We played "pin the egg on the basket"game.

I blindfold the kids,spin then around and let them try to stick the egg on the basket.

Next game is "spoon race".

I divide kids into teams and have them form a line. The first kid in line puts an egg on the spoon and passes it to the next person in line.

Tird game is "catch the cherryblossom petal".

I(picture is Leo)dropped pink paper petal from the chair,kids catch them.

If he/she could catch it,I give him/her lovely spring stickers.

We tried making easter eggs.

I made a big bunny cake.

How's this?

I'm happy all my friends and kids seemed enjoy this party.

I prepared the easter stamp and stickers as a gift.

Happy Easter!

I set a beach palasole and a pool at the yard.

Kids all got changed into swim wear and played at the pool.

Girls wear are all lovely.
