Easter sussie jars 2011

My kiddos are a little old for baskets at 21, 19, 15, and 12 and I wanted to do a little something different this year.  In fact, the past few years we haven't used baskets for Easter treats - one year it was colorful bowls from IKEA (that went directly to my kitchen afterwards), the next year was a large plastic egg with Swedish candy (again, from IKEA). 

I started with the rest of my collection of mason jars and some smallish Easter candy - jellybeans, peeps, Cadbury eggs - even pina colada tics tacs!

I filled each jar, jumbling it all together.  

I'm not a huge fan of peeps, but they look cute squished in here

I made some bunny head tags and cut around each one with my fancy craft scissors. Then tied them onto the jars with curling ribbon.  This will be a sweet little treat waiting for them when we get home from church.  And the jars will eventually return to the kitchen!

E. Bunny is a tradition my mother started and in fact, she still sends me Easter treats. You're never too old for candy!
