Easter sugar cookies!




Easter Crafts!! We had fun with these all last week!! And, Savannah wore her bunny ears that she had made at school every chance she got! It was so cute!


This is what the Easter Bunny brought Savannah and Xander on Easter morning! Savannah and Xander just love being outside and they really love watering flowers and playing in the dirt!!
Love Savannah's morning hair! Does anyone know where there are a lot of butterflies to catch?


Savannah was so excited! This was the first Easter that Savannah has sort of understand about the Easter Bunny!
Xander just wanted his mommy to hold him.
I only set him down for a few seconds!


The sun was in our eyes so we didn't get a very good family picture.
Savannah couldn't wait to water the flowers!






The next day, we planted Savannah and Xander's flowers! I love his hat!

Savannah had so much fun!Then she watered the sidewalk chalk!She did a great job, didn't she!!
Happy Easter!!!

Let us not forget the true meaning of Easter.

Homemade Easter Treats

I love making homemade candies and treats! Especially for Easter!! Besides, Christmas, Easter is my favorite holiday!






To help keep the chocolates from hardening, just put it in a glass of hot water.



To make more than one color just put the mold in the fridge for 5 to 10 minutes after each layer.If you completely cover the backs with chocolate it is simply too much chocolate.This was my first try at making resese pieces peanut butter cups. I put a layer of chocolate in the mold, then let it set in the fridge and then added the peanut butter mixture and covered it with the chocolate melting chips. They are so yummy!! Here's the recipe! I found it at WhatMeagan'sMaking.blogspot.com

Peanut Butter Eggs

Ingredients:

1 lb + 1 cup confectioner's sugar
2 sticks of butter, softened
1 1/2 cups peanut butter
1 lb melting chocolate, melted (I used chocolate discs from Michael’s)

Directions:

Mix first three ingredients together well and form into egg shapes. Place in freezer and freeze until firm. Dip eggs into melted chocolate and place on waxed paper to set. You may have to re-freeze some of the eggs before dipping them if they start to get too soft.

Chocolate covered Oreo's!! Again, if I covered the backs, I think it would be too much chocolate.





I got to use my new baker's twine!!! I was so excited!! I am such a geek!

Savannah organized them for me! She's so sweet!I had so much fun making these!! I am using them a Easter teachers, and visiting gifts! They would be fun for Mother's Day too!!
