Easter Baskets

Since we won't get to see Avery and Allie for Easter on Sunday, we took them Easter baskets today.  We had a lot of fun shopping, filling plastic eggs (and tasting the candy), and putting the baskets together.

Avery was excited about the stuff in her basket, and Allie really liked shaking the plastic eggs that we filled with rainbow goldfish crackers.  She had a lot of fun making noise with them!

The baskets weren't very big, and we ran out of room for the plastic eggs.  When we got to Chris and April's house, we hid Avery's eggs in the front yard before we went inside.  Avery had fun searching for her eggs.

She also enjoyed finding out what was inside the eggs and, of course, eating what was inside them!  She and Uncle Michael chose very carefully what to eat now and what to save for later.

Allie had fun playing with the empty plastic eggs.  When she found her purple egg that still had the goldfish crackers in it, she was VERY excited!  She was not about to give that one up.  :o)  (Click on the pictures to view them larger and see her great facial expressions!)

Avery and Allie, we had fun visiting you today.  Happy Easter!

Rainbow Cupcakes


In honor of Easter and spring, I made rainbow (or Easter or spring) cupcakes tonight!  You can find several recipes online, but after the fourteen layer cake, I opted for the cake mix and store-bought icing.  :o)


After mixing the batter, I divided it into six bowls and colored each batch.

Then I used a spoonful of each color to fill the tins.

I had a lot of fun making these cupcakes tonight.  I think they actually turned out pretty good!

To finish them off, I iced half of them with Strawberries 'n Cream frosting and the other half with Rainbow Chip icing (my personal favorite).

I love cupcakes!

Surprise Visit

Mom and Dad dropped by today to see our new storm door.  They also came bearing gifts!  Michael got some Mesquite wood chips, and I got an Easter hand towel, a cute little Easter dish, and some Easter M&M's to put in the dish!


I have been wanting some various holiday decorations.  Plus, I love M&M's.  These even have little lambs, bunnies, and ducks on them for Easter.  Needless to say, I was very excited!!!

Thank you Mom and Dad!
