Easter Dinner Table

The Mama Bunny at Purple Chocolat Home

was busy baking and chocolate making so

for our family Easter Dinner

she cheated a little and kept the theme

she had used for the Easter Birthday Lunch

and modified it as she was setting the

table for 12.

(I don't blame her one bit as she was

hopping just as fast as she could to get

everything done!)

She didn't have 12 of either of the 

purple dinner plates, so she alternated

a textured square one with a round ruffled one.

Mama Bunny also switched out the goblets to these

lighter amethyst ones, alternating the bubble

goblets with the Amethyst King's Crown.

The purple plates were topped with a

stack of textured white, deep purple glass

and a mercury glass salad plate.

These beautiful Amethyst King's Crown glasses

were a gift from her sister Jean.  

The Ruby King's Crown

that her aunt owned were always the star of

Christmas dinner and when

 none of this side of the family

inherited the ruby goblets, 

she found some online and

gifted Jean and Joni with some. 

(Yes, all three girls start

with J's - you can imagine the fun

 their parents had

confusing their names!)

Later Jean found these amethyst goblets at an

antique store and gave them to her.  

Mama Bunny had

never seen amethyst ones 

before and just loves them.

She kept most of the centerpiece 

which consisted of bunnies and eggs, but

added  fresh flowers in purple and white.

She switched out

new grass in a smaller container

and chocolate Easter eggs took over the

darling bunny pedestals.

The pedestals moved from the plate stack

to surrounding the centerpiece.

Keeping the same purple tablecloth 

and purple theme, the table was a

very easy switchover for a larger crowd

of little bunnies hopping everywhere!

She was pretty busy baking and creating

as you saw if you read the post on

new Easter Dinner Recipes

so having a quick switchover for

the table really helped.

Everyone loved having

Easter so late this year

making the lawn beautiful

for the annual

Easter Egg Hunt.

The flowers were just perfect.

The daffodils were just starting to

brown around the edges and now

just a few days later they are done.

A few eggs got tucked into the

flowers but not too many so

the little (and big) bunnies

 wouldn't trample them.

All the bunnies are attempting to squint into the

sun before the hunt begins.  Papa Bunny is

taking the photo.

Little bunnies are separated from the

big ones, as everyone wants in on the fun

and so no bunnies get trampled!

The little ones go first and then cheer on their

parents after.

Just a little playful horsing around

before Mama Bunny says "GO!"

Such adorable little bunnies!  

Those faces just cry out "KISS ME!"

Afterwards, they all returned into 

the house to open their eggs. 

This is little Jacquelyn bunny.

After we were all done and the empty 

eggs were left in the middle of the coffee table,

she kept opening them and finding them

empty, she would say, "No" and trying

one after another, she kept saying, "No", "No", "No",

with each empty egg.  It was darling!

One final surprise were these fun

confetti filled eggs that a niece convinced 

Mama Bunny to buy in Texas.

You crack them on someone's

head. The bunnies were very surprised.

 Messy but fun!
