This Easter was by far one of the very
best I have had. I started out the Easter weekend by making Snider bro's
meat's some treats! Of course they were all Pinterest inspired, and I
thought they turned out great!
Little bird nests made out of chow main noodles covered in chocolate and cadbury eggs!
Easter
bark made with melted chocolate, vanilla frosting (this happened by
accident but tasted great!!) and chopped up Easter candy.
bunny butts:) These are vanilla wafers and melted chocolate with a mini mallow tail.
Everyone at sniders seemed to enjoy
my festive treats and I am glad. I love to bake and I know exactly where
to take it so it gets eaten:) Plus there is just something about
holiday food that makes the celebration that much better.
My mom asked me to make her a cake
that she saw on Pinterest. Ha it's a family affair!! Never have I
needed, or even wanted for that matter, peeps. Not a fan. But I needed
them for this cake and of course the one time I was looking for them, I
couldn't find them anywhere! I went to 4 different places and finally
stumbled across them at Walgreens.
I thought it turned out pretty cute:)
Then
on Easter day the real fun began. We went to church because after all
Jesus is what Easter is all about!! Then Jake had set up an Easter egg
hunt for me before church so right after we went to hus house...isn't he
so perfect?
There were SO many eggs:)
He
even hid my Easter basket complete with bunny ears, a nook and nook
case, candy, a super cute ring, bubbles, and sidewalk chalk. Does he
know me or what?!
Then I found a cute bunny stuffed
animal! It was perfect! Best Easter egg hunt ever! I seriously am
spoiled rotten. A nook?! for easter?! Who does that?
Then we rushed over to my house for a family BBQ. I was super excited
because I had set up a scavenger hunt for Jake. He isn't crazy about
doing Easter egg hunts so I thought that a scavenger hunt might be a
little more fun for him.
I made up all the clues myself except for the last little rhyme which I found on another blog.

Always remember the joy of
this season
Is that jesus is alive and
for that very reason
We celebrate this day with
laughter and smiles
And thank god for his love
which extends miles and miles.
The very last place id
like you to see
Is the person who is lucky
to celebrate with thee
She’ll give you your
basket and some candy too
Because she is
absolutely madly in love with you!!
I was holding the basket at the very end and just handed it to him.
It
had some candy and a new Diesel watch!! He had been wanting a watch for
a while but I could never find one that wasn't super ugly. Finally I
found this gem. He loves it:)
The rest of the day we spent with family and friends.
and of course playing with our new toys!
Can't forget dying Easter eggs!
Then we went to the driving range because it was such a gorgeous day out.
I cannot wait for this golf season.
I love it and I love that it is a hobby Jake and I can do together!!
Easter was such a fun beautiful day. I
got to spend it with people I love and the most important part is, it
was a day to remember what Jesus did for us. Not only did he die for us,
he rose again!! He is risen and living in us today. I am so blessed and
thankful.
Thank you Jesus for living in me and for my friends and family.
