We enjoyed a lovely Easter weekend and spent some quality family time together, and with one exception the weather was good as well.
On Easter Sunday my OH’s parents hosted their annual Easter celebrations with lots of lovely food with all the family and of course the highlight for the grandchildren, an Easter egg hunt. There are 7 grandchildren all together and there were seven eggs each to find that the ‘Easter bunny’ had hidden for them.
However, what has really made this Easter a bit more special is the birth of some slightly belated Easter chicks! My OH’s parents have about 40 chickens and even some quails now and it’s been brilliant for Burton to learn about where eggs come from, to help feed the chickens, collect the eggs and more recently to learn how chicks are born.
Burton’s Grampy has been incubating some fertile eggs for a couple of weeks and last night one hatched, just before we went home.
We were invited back this afternoon so that Burton could hold a chick in his hands. When we arrived five more eggs had hatched and Burton was very egg-cited (sorry!) to see them, and being allowed to hold one was amazing for him
So an Easter full of Easter eggs, a visit from the Easter bunny and some Easter chicks being born – all in all an egg-cellent time was had.

Thank you xx
Oh how gorgeous! Although I have to say the thought of caring for 40 chickens would turn me into a gibbering wreck!
Aww how cute and gorgeous. Easter egg hunts are a lot of fun but to help with real eggs now that is cool. xx
wow, how egg-citing that they have so many chickens, I would love chickens but M’s not so keen!
Great that you managed to see some eggs hatching too

What a lovely experience for Burton, I really hope to do a holiday farm one day with the girls, I’m sure they’d love it
Aahhhh that is so cute. How nice they waited for you all to hatch xx
how lovely everything eastery all rolled into one great weekend 🙂 x
You can’t get any more Easter than that! I’d love some chickens but not sure I could deal with cleaning out the coup!
Oh, what a lovely way to explain new life to your little ones! Magical memories!
What a fantastic Easter!
