Our Easter Tree
This will be the fourth year we have done an Easter Tree. I had never heard of them until I met my first husband whose sister had married a German fella – apparently Easter Trees are a common European Tradition and if you google the term Easter Tree you will find heaps; all based on using a twiggy branch and decorating with eggs.
I thought it would be a nice tradition to do once we had kids, and so on the second weekend before Easter we put up our Easter Tree with much anticipation and delight.
It is where we leave our carrot and drink for the Easter Bunny and where he leaves a treasure map for our Easter Egg Hunt each year.
This was last years Easter Tree 🙂

Here are some pics from our morning today 🙂
We went for a walk down our street to a spare block up the road that I had scouted out earlier in the week for some likely looking branches 🙂
The bag of little eggs I have had for four years but last year I found the boxes of 12 bigger metal filigree eggs each from target on after-Easter Sale for $4 each. Score.
My little helpers 🙂

Do you decorate for Easter??
We haven’t decorated for Easter before, but this year we start a new tradition! All decorations bought from Woolies and will add to them over time.
We’ve never decorated for Easter before and I suppose I grew up with a family tradition of being on holiday with family friends. Now that the Little Mister is old enough to understand, I’m looking forward to getting into the spirit of it more 🙂

I’d never heard of an easter tree before, but I think its a totally cool idea! My bub is only 8 months old so I think the concept of easter will be a bit lost on her this year, but maybe next year we’ll start some cool traditions like this one.

We decorate at Easter time but don’t go to the same extent as we do at Christmas Time. We also have an “Easter Tree” as well as a gorgeous collection of bunnies.
