Easter week in recap!

We started our easter celebration on Thursday by having friends over to play and decorate easter eggs!


These boys are waiting for lunch...they both wanted to sit by Miles so it was nice a cozy:)
Kate joined us after piano lesson and Mikele helped the kids get started

looking pretty good



Gavin is focused on coloring those eggs


The kids were pleased with their creations.
Then, on Saturday the boys and I worked on some more Easter goodies. First we made some Easter cupcakes.





Gavin was literally drooking over all the candy. Nice.

With just a little bit of food coloring and the right toppings we created....

These cute little easter basket cakes

and easter bunny cakes. Yummm!
Later on that day we made resurrection rolls. The boys had some much fun dipping "Jesus" in the butter and covering the "tomb." They turned out great (thanks Mikele!) I may have had more than one....but I was really just making sure that he was gone from every tomb!




On to Easter morning!



the boys checking out their loot!


Then, Grandma and Grandpa came over to go with us to church

The boys were nice a cozy with Grandpa in the back while we caravaned over


Us girls before church. ( I don't know if you can tell by the picture but Zoey's skirt matches my dress. I got this material at GoOdwill for $1 and spent most of Saturday making this dress and a matching skirt for Zoey. Not bad...Easter attire for $1)


Our family....it was beautiful outside and quite bright out too!


With Grandma and Grandpa


Grandma bought these sweet plaid outfits for the boys for Easter. The looked so handsome!

You can see little miss Zo Zo's outfit a little better here
After a wonderful church service, we came back to our house. My sisters family joined us, as well as Joel's family. We started off with an Easter egg hunt. We Hid almost 100 eggs and then let the kids loose!


Hey what's that?


Jamie spots some in the rocks



Little miss Hannah was on the look out too!


Gavin was quite pleased with his findings!



"quit taking my picture mom, I am trying to find more eggs!"


Cole took the slide down after grabbing some eggs



Robyn and I....we matched quite nice, though not planned!



Zoey didn't get easter candy, but she sure is enjoying this biscuit Aunt Robyn brought for her!




Whew, what a long, sugar filled day!




My sentimants exactly!!
HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE!

I'm loving the cakes with the peeps! And you did a great job on yours and Zoe's dresses!

Thanks Jen! My goodwill has a section by the curtains and tablecloths that is just remnants of fabric that people donated. Most of them were pretty ugly but I totally lucked out with this and was really fortunate it was just enough fabric to fit around me! I cut some off the bottom to make Zoey's skirt!

Love the cakes! We looked for you at church, but it was quite the madhouse.

Robyn said...

Love it all...easter egg dying with christmas paper cups, the yummy looking treats, your matching dresses, your sweet tired out family at the end of the day. Happy Easter to you guys! :)

The eggs looks great ... and the dress/skirt are fabulous! Did you smock (is that the right word?) the top part? SUPER impressive!

Jasmyn said...

Thanks Carrie....but no, the material already came gathered at the top so it was really super easy, just had to hemm it and then make the straps for the haltar. You can buy really cute material like that at Jo-ann's that is already gathered/smocked.
