Easter

Disclaimer: Once again I lost some pictures... sad, I know. I'm not sure how I do this, but at least it doesn't happen often. I lost ALL of our Easter day pictures, but we still had a wonderful day and we do have wonderful memories of it!

     

Canyon and I got to help out with Kailey's class party. I let Canyon be in charge of the photos and there were LOTS of pictures... but here are just a few to show how much fun t was! An Easter egg hunt AND an Easter egg spoon race!!!

 

Then, of course, there was egg decorating and treat making! This is one of the best parts!We decorated lots of eggs and made bird nest treats... only I cooked the mixture too long and the no bakes were falling apart... but throw on a peanut butter M&M and WHO CARES?!?!

 

I also made "Resurrection Rolls". You basically make a yeast dough for rolls and wrap it around a marshmallow. Once the rolls are baked the marshmallow disappears and you are left with an empty tomb, just as our Savior was resurrected so that we can live in the presence of our Father in Heaven. It was such a great way to convey the message. The kids were looking so forward to the gooey marshmallow in the center of the warm roll. But in the end they realized the marshmallow was still there... it filled the ENTIRE roll with its sweetness.

And... my first card... for a baby shower! It turned out pretty cute despite the bomb that had to go off to make the cuteness a possibility!

And finally, no post is complete without my guys. Canyon is prepared for an evening of working with daddy... in the snow... after a 60 degree day (how weird has this weather been?!?)

And Daddy... oh daddy! Just had to put this picture in for posterity. I've always loved myself a cowboy!
