Easter Morning

Cookie Decorating

On Monday we had friends over to help us decorate Spring Cookies. The kids loved it! There was SO much frosting and SO many sprinkles. I tried a new cut out cookie recipe that I really liked. I usually have problems with my cut outs spreading and not keeping their shape, but these stayed perfect (June, the cookies WERE perfect, right?). :) The fact that they also had almond extract in them was a bonus!

Have a Blessed Easter!

Thank you God for sending your son to die on the cross for MY sins!

Easter Morning

We don't do the Easter bunny at our house. The boys knew that it was going to be Easter, but I don't think they realized they were going to be getting baskets in the morning. Last year I put them on the dining room table and they found them there. This year I had the brilliant idea to put them in their rooms so they would see them when they woke up. Well, they did. Apparently they woke up at 4:30 am and turned the light on and woke each other up! Tim stumbled out after me and asked me what I was doing. I of course, had to take pictures (there's no re-enacting the joy at a more respectable time). Then I promptly made them go back to bed (which they sort of did).

Easter Grass

Day after Easter ponderings...

I'm pretty sure that the man (and yes I'm sure it's a man) who invented Easter grass didn't have children.

Have a Blessed Easter!

"This is how much God loved the world: He gave his Son, his one and only Son. And this is why: so that no one need be destroyed; by believing in him, anyone can have a whole and lasting life".
