In compliance with social distancing it will just be the two of us celebrating Easter. We will miss our traditional meetup with family, but look forward to spending the day together. We plan to watch our morning Easter church service on TV, and later in the day M. and I plan to cook a small dinner together. We actually have a good time when we cook together, so we are both looking forward to this event!
We still wanted to do a little something special for our grandchildren. Since we have three grandchildren that actually live somewhat near us (the other 11 live in two different states) we decided to do what I like to call a “drive-by and drop-off.” This means we drove by their home, threw kisses, chit-chatted from a distance and dropped off some goodies.
This past Thursday I decided to make a pre-Easter treat – Bird Nest No Bake cookies as well as some Flower Cookies minus the stems. Both treats were very easy and quick to make.
Of course I forgot to take photos of the final products, but here is what they (pretty much) looked like:
I packed them up in cute little Easter bags to be delivered later that afternoon. The drive by was a success – granddaughter T. happily pointed to her mouth showing us an empty space where she lost her very first tooth – we couldn’t really see it from where we were but she was super excited! Big brother R. showed off some of the moves he is learning in Dojo class and we later received this photo in a text of little brother S. sampling one of the cookies.
Happy Easter!
How many grandchildren?! Goodness gracious. When you do get back together, it will be a crazy celebration!

We did the same thing with our grandchildren – dropped off their Easter treats on the porch. It’s killing me to not see them! Your cookies look much prettier than anything I made! 🙂

What a fun idea! I don’t have grands to share with – but I do love no-bake cookies:)

Me too! I had actually forgotten about these cookies until I saw the nest and eggs. The fact the recipe was similar to what I made many years ago was part of the motivation. They did not disappoint!

This is simply precious. I’m sure it lifted your spirits as much as it delighted the children.

How sweet! Ours live too far away. I sent them some sweet rolls from a fancy schmancy place, and apparently they were really good.

It’s a great thing to do and you’re lucky to be able to do it. All of our grands live too far away.
