An EGGcelent Easter!

Easter has come and gone and I am way behind in updating my site. So here is Easter in an egg shell. We went to an egg hunt here in our community. It proved to be an interesting event, as a little kid had taken the "golden" egg that was in Scott's age group section (ok..some wonderfull volunteer hid eggs on the playgroung that the kids were playing on). Anyways all the eggs were found but that one. Kids could care less about all the little plastic colorfull globes that they pick up. They WANT that GOLD one. Kids are willing to mame eachother in hopes of getting it, and when it wasn't found at all they were ready to riot. Finally they (as in the "officails") were able to locate the egg, distract the kids and re-hide it. There are no pictures of the bunny that was there as it was very scary looking. After that we went to WalMart to see their bunny, only to find that he had just excaped his cage where his owners forgot to feed him.

On Easter Sunday we woke up as many parents do on this day. To a very eager child waiting for their parents to get up so that they might hunt the eggs the bunny hid over night. We usually do a dozen eggs per person at the house, so there were 3 dozen for Scott to find. He had a hard time understanding that the older that he gets the more challenging the bunny will hid them! After the egg hunt we had my families tradition Easter breakfast...don't worry Dad...it's slowly catching on here too. Easter Sunday was a perfect day weather wise here so we were soon outside hanging around the pool and even took a dip or two in it.

Later that evening we did up a standard dinner of ham and potatoes, and had our friends come over and join us. I made a cake for dessert. Tammie gave me this really cool pan to make the checker pattern in your cake. I figured that I would make one of those. Well after reading the directions I got to work. I dyed half my batter pink and half blue for Easter. I cook my first and it just looked odd. Tim came in while my second one baked and I explained to him my issue. So he re-read the instructions to see that your not supposed to cook it with the rings in it....OPPS! I pulled that one out of the cake, and made the third layer the way it was ment to be. After stacking and adding jello and whipped cream to it, no one knew better! Leason learned.
