Easter Bunnies

We had three bunnies come to our house this weekend. Pretty lucky, eh?      

I hope Easter was as good for you as it was for us. We had the loveliest of weather, and got to enjoy the company of Aunt Nicole, KC's sister (who gave the babies their darling bunny ears). Everyone got to find their Easter Baskets in the morning, after which (when the babies were taking a nap) we enjoyed a spontaneous crepe breakfast. We had lots of food prep, as I'm sure most of you did as well, so we freshened up and got to work. On our menu: An appetizer of cheese puffs (formally called gougere) filled with egg salad, a main course of spiral sliced honey glazed ham, crescent rolls, red/sweet potato gratin, asparagus, fruit salad, and for dessert, Coconut Panna Cotta with mixed berries.

I enjoyed every bite, and especially enjoyed cooking with Nicole. She is quite talented in the kitchen. She is a Home Ec. teacher after all. We worked well together and had things planned out in such a way that nothing was rushed, all was done at the same time, around 3, and everything was delicious. We also enjoyed a walk that day since the weather was perfect for it, and caught  bits of Conference here and there with three babies interrupting on occasion. And of course we had to take a million pictures of the cuties in the casual Easter attire. (No church, no need to get dressed up, right?)

And they got swim suits in their baskets so we couldn’t resist trying those on. I, uh I mean the Eater Bunny, ordered come flip-flops for the babies too, but those didn't come until today. Of course Ruby got two pairs because she is a girl and can never have too many shoes.

I thoroughly enjoyed my first Easter as a mother. It was a day to remember. I can't wait for the years to come when I can explain to the kids the significance of this holy day and why it means so much to me. They will most definitely know that their Savior loves them and will forgive all their imperfections, and what a miracle and true blessing that is. 

So, as if that wasn’t enough enough pictures, here is a slide show of all the fun times. I might as well throw in a few more from the weekend. Enjoy your leftovers. We certainly are.
