We had a wonderful Easter Sunday, despite being thousands of miles away from our families. We started off the day with a small Easter egg hunt in the family room, after Brady ransacked his Easter basket (for a run down of everything that was inside, watch this ridiculous video I made!) and devoured several bunny marshmallows, 2 mini Kit Kat bars and a Reese's peanut butter cup.
After he was all hopped up on sugar, we went for brunch at the Kirkpatrick's where Brady, Leo & Lyla had another egg hunt in their backyard. Competition was fierce, but everybody got a decent load of candy and there was only one almost fist fight. Next year, we might be in trouble...
I tried to get crafty with a batch of Rice Krispies Treats this year-- making large egg-shaped treats filled with M&Ms, small "bird's nests" with green coconut and Robin's Eggs, and smaller egg-shaped treats mixed with peanut butter and dipped in chocolate. I "created" the last idea myself and was amazed that no one else had thought of this before (ie., there were no pins yet on Pinterest). Then I made them... Great in theory, but not so appealing in practice. Let's just say they looked like something the Easter Bunny would... leave behind. Oops! But they tasted good, so I guess that's all that really matters. Guess which ones they are...
Luckily, we got a break in the sucky NorCal Spring weather and enjoyed our time outside for great food and better company. I took a ton of photos, which you can pour though here. But here is a small taste...
