Easter Festivities

It's been a while since we put something up, so I'll pick up close to where we left off. Holidays are always busy trying to fit in both sides of our families. Its also busy when I try to bake tons desserts to take to both families. This year I made lemon meringue pie, gluten-free carrot cake cupcakes, and iced sugar cookies. I'm so glad Hayden helped me get everything together and keep some order in our kitchen. Between church, work, and baking, Thursday and Friday were pretty hectic.

Friday night we drove down to Yoakum so we could be there early for Easter. Saturday morning Hayden went off to play golf with his dad, uncle, and cousins. I spent the morning finishing up the icing on the sugar cookies. For once I got to decorate something without trying to meet a deadline. (It was awesome!) Saturday evening meant it was time for the Easter vigil service and then Easter dinner with Hayden's family.

Sunday morning we were treated to a yummy breakfast before we hit the road. Then it was off to New Braunfels for Easter with my family. Between Easter baskets, tons of candy, Easter eggs, and confetti eggs, I think it's safe to say our nieces and nephews like Easter.
Hayden & I helped hide all of the eggs. By hide, we mean throw them out in the grass. Once they get a little bit older we may have some real fun hiding eggs. Connor figured out real soon that some of the eggs had money in them and starting hunting only those eggs-smart kid. Too bad he ended up having to share with everyone else. I think Jake is getting the hang of this Easter egg thing. He definitely got the candy eating part afterwards. The only thing with being the youngest is that your an easier target for the confetti eggs.
