I heard it today and realized I haven't blogged in
Let's rewind to Easter. It's about where I left off. Here is a picture tour of our Easter preparations!
Cutie Pie got to attend her very first egg hunt. Cupcake was volunteering with the Hubs so I took Cutie Pie to our neighborhood hunt. Cupcake's first year was a mad house of older kids pushing and shoving their way to candy filled eggs. Some leaving with 15 or more....Cupcake getting one. So I prepped Cutie Pie explaining that when the whistle blew she could grab an egg and put it in her basket. Her friend from Little Gym was there and her Daddy has his pockets loaded with extra eggs in case they were trampled. Surprisingly Cutie Pie is quite the competitor and managed to get 6 or so eggs. Way to go little one! It was a blast to watch her. She has so much personality:
It has been a cool Spring in central Texas. I can't really remember an Easter where my girls where in pants and jackets. Cupcake's Easter shirt for her school party was short sleeve so we had to layer up. She also choose to wear these bunny ears which were SO CUTE and surprisingly she kept them on all day.
Of course, monkey bunny see monkey bunny do.
Grandma & Grandpa were here for a month from NH! They rented a beautiful condo in Lago Vista with a stunning view. It was fun to visit them there several times and have them join us in our activities from time to time too. Our first trip to the condo was to prepare Easter eggs for our Easter celebration. It was Cupcake & Cutie Pie's first time to dye eggs!
Cupcake puts the tablets in each cup:
She was very careful with the tray:
Grandma and Cupcake are hard at work. Note: Cutie Pie is anxiously waiting her turn to get in on the action.
Waiting for eggs to take color:
Checking to see how intense the color is:
Pink: a favorite color choice
Finally! It's Cutie Pie's turn. Up she stands and quick as a wink she throws her egg in the orange. Look closely...since I missed the toss you can instead note: Grandpa laughing hysterically, Grandma a little shocked, and Cupcake turning to avoid the splash! Perhaps Cutie Pie should be called Fire Cracker.
After an egg dying extravaganza, Grandma made a yummy lunch and had beautiful and delicious Easter cookies to top it off with a treat.
Did I mention we love pink? Naturally a perfectly pink iced bunny was a divine treat!
What? You want a picture? Ummm no. I'm eating this thing:
With that we were ready for a weekend of Easter fun with a side of U of L basketball. More soon....
