Easter with Us

We had a really wonderful Easter Sunday shared with good friends, AMAZING food (by all the other women), and cute cute kids.

An abundance in Easter fun and festivities to follow.....

The Brooke girl

Brooke participated in two egg hunts. One of her very own at our house, and then one at our friend's house after dinner.

She loved looking inside each egg before moving onto the next.

Checking out the loot.

She loves her new "Easter bunny."

After our nice Easter church meetings, we came home to take naps, make jello and spinach salad to take to Easter dinner. Here are Brooke and Olivia checking each other's eggs out.

All the Mommas: Kendee, Alyssa, Muah, Crystal

All the kiddos ready to start!

Kinda looks like she's sayin, "Down..! Set...! Hike..!" Yeah, Brent would love it.

One year old, Maile.

Darling Lincoln, who belongs to Neil and Crystal.

Olivia getting her egg hunt on.

Crystal and Neil, like I said before--great pic, you guys!

Lake, who is Maile's brother and Brooke.

And that was our Easter!

Now, a few other items to note:

Item #1: Thank you to all of you who commented with advice about the paint color. After much deliberation, it was Brent's idea to paint the back wall an accent color of light brown/dark tan, and the rest of the walls a neutral cream. He had been wanting to do this from the very beginning, months ago when we started talking about it, and I decided it was time my man have some say! I hope you like---

Item #2: Last Monday, I started session one in the Wilton cake decorating classes with a friend! I have been really excited about doing this for awhile and it really has been a blast. We have had two out of the four classes and we made our first cake today.... which really took forever to work on after the class at home.


Yes, the rainbow is terribly cheesy, (dare I say ---- tacky?) and there are plenty of flaws but I feel pretty proud. :) Thanks for letting me blog-brag. Okay...

Happy April to you all!
