A New Tradition

Only once a year, the night before Easter, jelly beans become magic.

Take some jelly beans...any will do. They all become magic the night before Easter!

Jason is checking out his magical jelly beans.
Tell me the story again, daddy!

Shawn isn't sure this is going to work.
"Magic" beans, mommy? Are you sure?

Plant the magic jelly beans in some dirt...

The first bean goes into the dirt...

And more beans...

Covering the beans up with dirt...

Time to add even more beans.
Can't ever have too much magic!

Daddy, are you sure this is going to work?

While you sleep, the Easter Bunny comes to bring your Easter baskets. If he sees you planted jelly beans, he'll wave his magic Easter basket over your dirt.

Voila!

Magic!

Look what's sprouted from our magic beans!*

I think the boys are going to be blown away when they see how their magic beans changed while they slept. :-)

  1. we did this too!! I loved the idea! As soon as K woke up this morning she could not wait to look outside to see if our jelly beans sprouted into lolli pops! When she saw the little garden of pops she ran outside which such excitement! She was more psyched about it than her basket :). hope your boys had a great morning!
