Easter tradition

We start a jar a few weeks before Easter that Is for nice things we do. Each time someone does something kind or extra, they get to put a bean in the jar. Then on Easter the Easter bunny turns the beans in the jar into jelly beans. The kids try really hard to do kind things this time of year because they want lots of jelly beans! -Christine

Another tradition we love at our house is when you are ready to eat the boiled eggs from Easter you can't just peel them and eat them. You have to roll them at each other. So 2 people face each other like you are going to roll a ball to each other and roll the eggs at each other at the same time. the object of the game is to get the 2 eggs to crash into each other as many times as you can until one egg is defiantly the looser. The winner gets to roll the next person's egg, the looser gets to peel and eat the egg! - Christine

Here is the dreaded Chocolate Covered Peanut Butter Easter Egg recipe. This recipe has me reconsidering my my weight loss goals for the year, "maybe I don't need to lose QUITE so much weight..."

1 c. crushed graham crackers, 1 c. powder sugar, 1 c. peanut butter, 1 TBS melted margarine. Mix, shape, freeze, and dip. Enjoy!!

Dip in melted chocolate chips/chocolate flavored almond bark/white chocolate/real dipping chocolate/whatever.
