Easter 2021

Easter weekend was low-key and delicious. We spent most of our time watching General Conference and eating all of Brooklyn's yummy baked creations... in addition to the kids' Easter basket candy. Our bathroom scale isn't amused! 

The kids had fun dyeing Easter eggs on Saturday and then hunting for them Sunday morning. The Easter Bunny was extra good this year - hiding the 48 colored eggs on all three floors. It took a while to find them all and I think there's still one more hidden somewhere around here. I guess our movers will find it in June!

Easter baskets were fulled with candy, swim suits, clothes, books, toys and money. We had Brooklyn's delicious homemade cinnamon rolls for breakfast along with my favorite tatertot and egg casserole. Dinner was French Dips with potatoes and asparagus and finished off with Brooklyn's Lemon Poppyseed cupcakes with blackberry buttercream frosting (which Brooklyn didn't love so quickly made a chocolate cake with chocolate frosting and chocolate Cadbury Mini Eggs.) It's no wonder we all gained a few pounds this weekend!

We had a hard time getting B to stop baking treats and start dyeing eggs...

Kendall and Hudson had no problem dyeing their dozen eggs in all sorts of pretty color combinations...

Hudson seems impressed with this one...

Finally taking a break to dye eggs while her goodies are baking in the oven...

Getting home late from a church activity, Ella had the whole kitchen... and dyes... all to herself...

Easter. morning and the kids are ready for the hunt...

Brooklyn's taking a second look on the toy shelves after Kendall and Hudson made a first go at it...

Ella got lucky and found a few, too...

Hudson has been wearing these bunny ears off and on for the past two weeks...

Easter basket goodies...

Time to figure out how many we're still missing...

Well, that's one way to use your placemats, Hudson! Makes for a perfect Easter bonnet...

Who doesn't like a little money hidden inside an egg?!...

A new swim suit for Hudson...

And Brooklyn... we're going to need these a lot more living in San Diego!...
