Footprints of our Easter rabbit


We were thinking way before Easter how shall we have Easter as Benji will definitely will understand it now this year and we wanted to created the magic of innocent moments which he hopefully will like to think back upon.
Luckily it is the same in both cultures: Easter rabbits hides the eggs and the little ones find them. Richard wanted to continue their family tradition of little footprints showing where the rabbit has been and hid the eggs (three fingers dipped into flour is the secret...) and I didn't object as I think it is really cute, plus there wasn't really an option to hide the eggs in the garden this year as it was almost snowing and was freezing cold.
We managed to get up before the boys (which is not easy as our little red squirrel wakes up around 6 and his older brother follows around 7), but we managed to finger- (sorry, foot-)print the house and hide chocolates around.
After he has drunk his milk he came downstairs and was surprised the little white marks on the floor, from then on he didn't let my hand go, we had to go around like that he was so scared that the rabbit might jump out from somewhere :-) (he is very shy in new or unusual situations nowadays)
He soon got the hang of it and were really happy once he found another little chocolate rabbit or chic or his two Spot books.
One of his favourite book to read is Spot the dog which is hiding under flaps, on the cover of that book you can see the small pictures of the rest of the Spot series and he was pointing at them every night: "we will buy this one, we will buy this one", so he was really happy to see two of them and that he could show now "I have this one, I have that one". Good to see small things making him happy. I still have to read the new Spot book every night before going to bed.

This year Robin has also got a little chocolate (just to show) and a book, it took a good 10 minutes for Benji to understand that he also can have that little rabbit and he has to be happy with this other 6 chocolates...

I have also been a housegkeeping godess and made my own challa bread (hungarian plaited sweet bread), was a bit flat, and a bit burnt, but tasted very good! :-)

Unfortunately only took a video of the egghunt which is too big to put in here (although you can see the little feet behind Benji eating chocolate), so I attach some pictures of the day before when we went to Kingsbury water park to the miniature steam railway. Benji was also really scared, didn't want to sit on it, Robin of course pood himself, the snow started when we arrived, was freezing, but we didn't give up! We have to go back when the weather is better as it was really fun!








A bit flat, a bit burnt, but its ours!
