Hoppy Easter!!!

So of course the day started off with the discovery of the Easter Baskets! Each kid woke up at different times which made photographing the surprises a little easier. First up, Aiden, who loved his new DSI games and sunglasses!





Caitlyn came down next to find the Barbie she had seen 3 weeks ago and reminded us about last night! Her new sunglasses were a huge hit too! Alice in Wonderland, the cartoon, is the movie she was shocked to see.





What would Abby be without a new baby, and this one babbles and moves which thrilled her!









After that excitment was over, we were off to church and then Nana and Papa's for Easter lunch. The following desserts were my contribution, starting with Nana's grandmother's cutout cookies.



In honor of my love of making, and eating, Springerle cookies, I ordered an Easter Bunny mold and made them in lemon and orange flavors. These also made their way to Florida with John's family.





These little beauties were a find from the February 2010 Southern Living. Fresh Citrus Poundcake mini cupcakes were their name with an orange buttercream frosting! The batch made so many that the lucky ladies and gentlemen at Tassels will help me finish them off tomorrow. They gave the website for the liners that I immediatly ordered when I saw and fell in love with the article. They are meant to look like daffodils! And yes, I tried to take magazine worthy pictures in abundance because I think they are sooo great!









Ashley and Andy brought a bunny bread, vegetable plate that was sooooo cute and delicious!



The pretty lunch table.



The complete dessert table that also included the "Not yo'mamas Banana Pudding."



Looks like the Easter Bunny made it to Nana and Papa's too!





I lovvvveeee this picture of John and Caitlyn!



Nana was giving Abby a little help with a troublesome egg.



I decided to have pictures taken of me with the kids since I am always on the other side of the camera!





A great family shot.



Lets find some eggs!











I've started a new resolution to include at least one goofball shot of John in each blog.
