Easter (Now That the Kids Are Older)
20
items My kiddos are teens now, so our holiday is looking a little different these days--but a lot more chill! Here's what we've got going on.
*IF* it's a year I'm cooking (I've kinda taken Easter off the past couple of years), this is THE ham.
Tangerine-Glazed Easter Ham With Baby Carrots
File this in the “Just Trust Me” folder--if you're serving ham, you NEED pineapple cheese casserole. It makes the whole meal, Girl Scout's Honor.
Pineapple Casserole
If you're in a CM area, their holiday meals are fantastic when you're not doing the cooking. I love the apricot vanilla ham glaze, it's the only thing I'll accept in place of my own ham.
Central Market - Really Into Food
The last thing my kids need is more plastic crap shoved in plastic eggs… So nowadays, we just have an epic cascarones battle that always results in mile-wide smiles and lots of laughs.
Confetti Eggs Cascarones, Multicolored, 60 Count, Party Game for Easter, San Antonio Fiesta Week, Cinco de Mayo or Birthday Party
I've said it before and I'll say it again: I absolutely adore honeycomb paper decorations. And so does everyone who comes over during a holiday season! Pop some of these bad boys up around your mantle and delight all your friends and neighbors.
3D Rabbit Honeycomb Easter Decorations - Paper Easter Decorations for Home - Assorted Colors - Pack of 1 or 5
These little guys are TERRIFIC for adding to the mood of a seasonal display. I have each light set on a different color to create a pastel rainbow backlighting effect on my mantle behind all my decor. They really take it up a notch!
Energizer LED Puck Lights, 6 Pack, Color Change
I've had a couple of these for three years now, they are incredibly durable and really beautiful. Michael's is the spot for great garlands, and these are among the best I've ever gotten.
6ft. Easter Pastel Vine & Egg Garland by Ashland
Like the pasta, it's not about the eggs! There are so many other elements to bring into the design scheme. These carrot lights an adorable addition!
Northlight 10-Count Orange Carrot Easter String Light Set, 7.25ft White Wire
I have a set of these that is all bunnies, and let me tell you--they are bright, and you get a TON of hours out of one run of batteries.
SCS Direct Pink & Yellow Easter 10ft String Lights - 2pk (40 Total) LED Fairy Lights - Easy to Hang & Battery Powered - 9 Modes - Indoor/Outdoor Decor
These little ceramic birds by Spritz are just so sweet to me. I have a plain pink one that I have nestled in some fake moss on the cabinet under my TV, but I'll be grabbing one of these dudes next time I'm at Target!
Ceramic Chick Easter Animal Figurine - Spritz™
This is a crisp, dry sparkler that does not disappoint--especially at the price point!
Mumm Sparkling Brut Rosé - 750ml Bottle
She's sold out in stores, but thankfully there are some resellers that aren't charging an arm and a leg. This gal is my queen, I would charge into battle for her.
Bath & Body Works Bunny 3-Wick Pedestal Candle holder
Tulips are great, but no flower screams spring like hyacinths to me. They are just so beautiful and cheery!
Hyacinth Bulb & Forcing Vase - Mixed Color
Another great garland from Michael's that is perfect for adding just a little extra zhuzz anywhere you need it. I've also had this one for years, and it has held up beautifully. It's on sale at the moment for $5, which is a fantastic deal!
6ft. Glitter Egg Garland by Ashland
This petite ceramic stand comes in mint and pink--I have both. They are just darling, and perfect for elevating single wick jar candles. It's a great way to add some height and dimension to a display.
4.5" Mint Green Ceramic Cake Stand by Celebrate It
This tissue paper garland is just so cheery, I absolutely love it. It has tiny iridescent shimmer strands throughout that take it to the next level.
Pastel Tissue Garland 72" Multicolor Party Decoration by Way to Celebrate
It's the honeycomb paper equivalent of a disco ball, what's not to love?!
Pastel Honeycomb Ball Hanging Party Decoration 10" x 9" by Way to Celebrate
One thing that doesn't change--my kids still want plushies in the baskets. They are OBSESSED with the precious little bunnies at Barnes & Noble. They love to raise the arms so the bunny is hiding behind the flower “because he's shy.”
Cuddly Easter Bunny Plush (B&N Exclusive)
You don't need plastic eggs for candy when the whole egg can be edible!
Breakable Chocolate Chicks Trio
These are the best plain chocolate eggs, hands down!
