I made these for some of our neighbors. This is about as crafty as I get, people. I borrowed the idea
from another mommy who brought them as gifts to the teachers at school. So I can't take credit for it.
The neighbors brought us to their country club and they had birds and owls on display! LOVED IT!

Crazy Bird Lady and Toucan trying to eat her necklace.
One of the birds even rode a bike. The kiddos were completely enamored.
Little Jewish girls don't know what to do with Easter baskets, so they became hats.

The four of us. Izzy is on the left. Abby is between me & The Father Load.
It is impossible to get everyone to look at the camera all at once.

Those girls are about as cute as cute can get. And I say that in my best non-creep voice. that wasn't too creepy, right?
Thats cute!
They're adorable! If it makes you feel better, little Mormon girls put them on their heads too (only when they devour all of the candy first, though!).
You have a beautiful family Erin. I loved the pictures, thanks for sharing.
you have a very beautiful family!
You all look so beautiful...what a fun day..the girls are precious....I hope they loved their egg hunt...the crazy bird lady added a "lil supm" extra..!
Abby looks just like her mommy.
And the crazy bird lady's shirt matches the tablecloth. Or couch. Or whatever that is.
Super cute family pics! I still have to post my lovely Easter pics of my kids. (They are horrible!) They are half-Jews so they understand the Easter basket tradition, or should I say Christmas 2.0 (with cheaper toys). It's ridiculous.
It's a dual purpose basket...to hold things and to then look simply gorgeous! :) Loved the pictures of your family time.
Oh my goodness, those little girls of yours are absolutely gorgeous! I loved all the pictures! You and your family are so precious:)
P.S. Is your shirt with the ruffle front from Banana?
Precious! And hey, we're Protestants and my girls still put the baskets on their heads!
Awww what cuties!
What a fun way to spend the day, bet the girls loved it and look at that sunshine!
easter bonnets!! how cute is that?? so inventive! and ps, they're absolutely adorable!!
I LOVE that crafty idea! Will have to steal it next year. LOL
How cute are ALL of you? :)
What a beautiful family you have! Thanks so much for sharing your day with us.
Also, I was happy to see Crazy Bird Lady was thoughtful enough to cover the floor with plastic. Bawk-bawk, splat!
I love the pictures. I use to buy Easter stuff after the fact for my Jewish kids. You are very creative!
Way to stinkin' cute.
Great pics! Looks like a fun time was had by all! I love those gifts. What a great idea! I may have to steal...I mean borrow the idea! LOL! Yeah right I will so forget by next year!
Erin, your family is beautiful, including you, Momma.
My sister converted to Judaism when she married her husband. She was just down visiting a few weeks ago and asked me if we could color Easter Eggs since her 4 year old daughter, Lena, had never done that before. Lena wanted nothing to do with it. It might have been the new Barbie I had just bought her that distracted her. But, I told my sister, she's just being true to her Jewish faith. No Jesus for You!!!
A.DOR.ABLE!! i love the easter baskets on their heads. so freakin' cute!
Beautiful pictures Erin - I am glad you all had such a fun day.
I'm so proud of you for posting pictures! I'm glad that you did. The girls looked adorable.
I'm totally going to make those Easter jar thingys for my son's teachers next year.
I would celebrate ANY holiday if it got me to see some birds!
Very Cute!
Ahhh what a great looking family Erin! Looks like everyone had fun.
How cute are those glass flowers? Like TOTALLY cute, even if you can't take credit for them. XD
The rest of these pictures are priceless. The baskets on the head crack me up! I heart you.
Looks like a good time for the girls and Mom & Dad!
Great idea for the Easter gifts!
Those pictures are all great. The one of Dan and the girls would make a gread Father's Day gift.
Oh what a cute little bunch you all are! I am so glad you shared with us!! :D
the basket hats are classic!
Your girls are just precious. Lovely pics. Looks like a great time for all.
Very Nice looking family you have there and you all look so happy, thats what life is all about.
Your title is priceless, Erin! I laughed at the owl sizing up Izzy and the Fatherload and then I laughed ever harder when I realized that perhaps your girls will now think that exotic birds exhibits are just as much an Easter tradition as egg hunts are.
PS- you are practically glowing in those pictures- gorgeous, girl!
Beautiful pictures of beautiful family...I might want to "borrow" them for my post...you don't mind, do you??? I mean, really, they're BEAUTIFUL, God bless them and you!
I love what you did with the gifts; how pretty they look...and different. Great job, Erin! Good for you!
Very cute pictures! And honestly, I think all children put their baskets on their heads at one point or another. One that is one of the main reasons that I don't put that fake grass in it...
Those are really cute gifts! Great job!
Nice! I love the shots and the outfits on the girls! hey, what s a basket if it doesn't go on your head at some point?!
Very cute and I love what you made to give your neighbors. I think it's great!
Hey my boys put their baskets on their heads when they were littler... it ain't a specific upbringing thing it's a kid thing lol. Love the pics I would have loved to have seen those birds..
CUTENESSSSSSSSSSS!!!
Aw the hat part totally cracked me up. I respect you for being so open about teaching your little ones different religions - some people are not like that..
Thanks so much for stopping by my blog - I will definitely be back to read more. Please stay in touch!!!
xo
Erin! Your family is so lovely...
Those birds are super cool and I bet the girls had a grand time. So happy you shared the photos with us.
And really?! How cute are those Easter gifts you made!!!!
Super cute photos! And I love the flowers and the peeps!
Love it! Especially the Easter bunny hats! I also love your decorative candies. I hate the taste of peeps so using them as decoration might be a great idea for next Easter! :)
I love what you did with those vases...even if you did borrow the idea :)
WM
Love the vases and those 2 little Jewish girls?? CUTE!!!
Even Christian kids wear Easter basket hats... What a beautiful family.
Love your pictures Erin!! You little girls are so cute!!
LOVE the pictures!! You should do WW more often for sure!!
Easter looks like it was a ton of fun! Those birds were pretty cool. Although I dont think I would like one to be eating my jewelry.
I think it's so cool that you went to the egg hunt and I love the girls' dresses and hats! wink, wink! Great family pick too! :)
Cute, cute pictures! Although I think I'd be a bit afraid that Toucan would go for the throat...
And really, the only appropriate place for peeps are in vases. :)
I see you have been adequately notified that it's not Judaism that caused your kids to make hats out of their baskets! I'll spare you that sentiment! Really cute photos and it makes me feel okay for accidentally telling my Jewish mom acquaintance "Happy Easter". I realized why she gave me a strange look after I walked away! If you can take your kids to an Easter egg hunt, she can say thanks for my ill-placed holiday cheer!
Superb family photo. You are an attractive bunch, indeed.
Also, these photos just shattered all notions I had about country-club life. Freakin' birds on bicycles. WHO KNEW?
