Is Mo breaking eggs today?
This is our collection of painted eggs - painted by the kids and myself. We paint some new ones every year, so the collection keeps growing. In leaps and bounds though - some get broken every year too!
As you can see, some of them are hanging from birch branches. It’s a tradition to pick some branches for Easter and take them in to decorate them and have them sprout their leaves indoors. If you look closely, you can see the tiny green buds…
The large ones you see in front of the picture are a couple of the kids’ eggs that some rabbit or other comes to stuff with chocolate every year.
These are some of our eggs too, sprinkled into a bouquet of tulips!
There’s no tradition here for hiding eggs, by the way. I don’t know why - it’s probably a lot of fun!
I have my own little tradition with eggs, that I’ve adopted from my grandmother: On Easter morning, I serve everyone a boiled egg in one cup and a lifesize marzipan egg in another. The kids don’t mind at all…
