This Easter I was determined to make it relaxing. I am
ALWAYS stressing myself and too busy prepping the perfect desserts and dishes
to actually enjoy the holiday. We live between both sets of our parents within five
minutes each way so we definitely are able to see both families on the holidays.
However they usually are either both set at the same time for lunch or dinner
or within a couple hours of each other. Leaving us stuffed for one dinner. But
this year we celebrated Easter at my in-laws with Kyle’s family on
Saturday evening. We had a wonderful dinner and a fun little Easter egg hunt.
It was my nephew Brecken’s first hunt and I think he had fun getting the hang
of grabbing the eggs after a little help.
Not that Kyle's shirt isn't cute but his really cute Easter one I bought just didn't fit. I was so bummed!
Now work it!
Like I was saying, I was determined to have a relaxing
weekend so I did something shameful as a “baker”. I usually offer to bring
desserts for holiday meals because I love to bake and let’s be honest, we are
almost always late so this works out perfect. BUT this also means I’m always up
the night before trying to get at least four desserts together. This year, I’ve
never ever done this before but I ordered two pies to take to both sides of the
family. Gasp, I know! Don’t hate though cause I also made two “dirt” cakes to
also take. I wanted something that wouldn’t take too much time, was different
and could be made festive and also could be made the night before. Both
families gave me a little bit of a hard time but I don’t regret my decision at
all. It was nice but I will say…the pie wasn’t that amazing…I should’ve just
made them. Maybe next year! My mom totally showed me up and made these yummy and so stinking cute little baby chick cupcakes. How cute are these?!
Only cause I love my bunny...not showing off my store bought pie!
All in all it was a great Easter for Kyle and I! I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter and have
a wonderful week as well! It’s officially my birthday week so I’m living up the
last few days of my twenties. Ahhh I'm old!
Hi Kristen, I nominated you for the Liebster Award on my blog today! Also those chick cupcakes are adorable!
