Surviving Easter...

...HAHAHA...
i'm sure our easter weekend was as busy as everybody else!
spending most the weekend in the kitchen, getting things ready, buying treats, coloring easter eggs and baking...
and throw in another big family upset in there and it makes for a hectic, stressful holiday!!
choosing to make the best of things and focusing on the kids' excitement, on went the show!
courtney is getting older now and even though she supresses her excitement over the annual treat hunt left by the Easter Bunny, she is still quite excited to fill her baskets full of candy and chocolates!
tyler, on the other hand, is MOST EXPRESSIVE over HIS excitement for the morning egg hunt!
...even little Oliver was left a new rattle toy from the Easter Bunny!!!!
...and the grand finale is always finding their easter basket and treats from mom and dad...
(last year, tyler couldn't reach that cupboard! )
( note Bunny on the kitchen counter...he STILL goes everywhere tyler goes - so cute! )
...all was said and done...= two very lucky little kidlets!
...then on to coloring eggs to take to my moms for dinner sunday...

TA-DAA!!!!
...and the cupcakes BEFORE....
...and AFTER...
thanks for all your help C & T!!!!!!

...i cooked a 15lb turkey and made stuffing to bring to moms for dinner ( along with eggs and cupcakes ) and when i arrived with the kids, this is what was going on in her kitchen....
Grandma and Grandpa were at moms for 3 days over the holiday to spend time with family, and Grandma was at the stove - walker nearby - making her gravy for HER homemade meatballs!!!!
and my brother Curt was prepping his salad for dinner!!
LOVE. THIS.
:)
...and at last,time to eat!!!
I hope you ALL had a fabulous Easter holiday with your loved ones!!
...be back soon...
