Easter

Our Easter was lovely!  We started out the day by giving the kids Easter baskets.  This was the first year that we did this and they seemed to enjoy it.  Mark has fond memory's of Easter baskets when he was growing up and he wanted to give the kids the same good memories.  We bought all the "filler" at the dollar store or we had it on hand already, so we didn't spend much at all, always a nice bonus!  :-)

After Easter baskets we ate breakfast, homemade cinnamon rolls.  Then Mark and I got all the kids ready in their Easter outfits.  Getting the kids ready on Sundays is always a big task but for Easter it was particulary hard.  But, we conquered the job!  Of course, getting a good picture of all of them is another matter...

After church we came home and I made lunch.  My parents came over at 2 and we all had lunch together, ham, mashed potatoes, jello salad (provided by my mom), rolls (also provided by my mom), and green beans.  It was all soooo good!  The kids had lots of fun with grandma and grandpa!

Oh, and we did have the Red Velvet Cake later in the afternoon, for those of you wondering what happened to it!
