We baked a batch of sugar cookies for Easter. Last week Sage had fun testing out the cutters by using play dough. On Saturday we all made the real cookie dough which involved measuring, weighing, mixing, sifting and dividing. We refrigerated it overnight and on Easter Sunday we rolled, cut, placed, decorated and baked the cookies. We observed how they grew in size in the oven and how to watch for the slight browning on the edges to know when to take them out. Click here to view the sugar cookie recipe.

Here is a letter the boys wanted to leave for the Easter Bunny. They also left carrots and lettuce and hoped he would enjoy reading about himself in the Chicks Versus Bunnies book. We could not find the movie Hop this year so we watched Rise of the Guardians instead since it has the Easter Bunny in it. The boys loved it! On Easter morning, the boys hunted for eggs around the house and used a treasure map (house plan) the EB left to find their Easter baskets. They also had fun rehiding the eggs and taking turns finding them.
