Egg-celent

For Easter this year we had a last minute change of plans. Our original plan was to come home on the Friday before Easter and spend the weekend with close friends and family but instead Mike and Scott missed us so much they decided to head up to the mountains with all of us and have Easter at the cabin. This was a great idea, however, whoever knows me well would be shocked if I said I had all my Easter shopping done before hand. Well, no such luck but with procrastination brings great times. Right? On the Friday before Easter my sister drove all the way into St. George to get our shopping done. It was a nice break away from the cabin and the kids. We were able to get everything we needed and then some. It was a great day

Saturday came the egg decorating and cake making. I knew I would not be able to get a picture of Jake coloring Easter eggs ( I think he only colored 1 at the most) but I did decorate one for him.

This picture is the only one I got of Olivia decorating her eggs (I should have shut the blinds:( darn it!)

my happy girls

I love how Ella is concentrating here. I also love how you can see her green hands. Ella just gets down and dirty with everything she does. There was no waiting for the egg dipper, she just went for it.

This is the end result of our day, Gabe passed out while we were making our traditional Easter Bunny Cakes. (notice the frosting on his chin)

These cakes are a tradition in our family. My mom has been making these for as long as I can remember, they were passed on from her mom as well. My kids look forward to them every year. This year all I did was cook the cakes the kids did the rest. They turned out pretty cute.

The Easter Bunny did make it to our cabin. The kids were a little worried that he would not find us. AHH! Nice and relaxing weekend.
