Easter Bunny

Continuing with the Easter theme, today we have cute little Easter bunny and Easter egg shaped sandwiches for lunch!

In this bento:  Red & yellow pepper rings, Strawberry halves, red grapes, and Bunny and Easter egg sandwiches - ham & cheddar cheese on whole wheat bread.

The Easter bunny cookie cutter was bought at Walmart last year (available on eBay).  The Easter egg cookie cutter is  from Williams Sonoma - this year's version is slightly different than my version from last year.
