Easter

Easter was a little different this year.  I spent most of the day preparing food.  Yes, I do love to cook, so it was nice.  I made honey and brown sugar glazed ham, with a pinch of black pepper, sweet potatoes diced and covered with butter, brown sugar and salt and pepper (yum!), green bean casserole (my husband's favorite), and lots of cresent rolls.  For dessert, I made tons of cupakes!  The variety I chose for that special Sunday were carrot (filled with walnuts and plump, sweet raisins), chocolate malt (topped with malted milk multi-colored eggs), lime with lime cream cheese fluffy whip (it taste like keylime pie...yum!), and strawberry (filled with lots of fresh, juicy strawberries).  We had dinner at my MIL's house and she had the most adorable Peter Rabbit table setting. 

Before David and I went over to his moms, I delivered my homeade Easter baskets to my family.  I decided to go to the Dollar Tree and Walmart a couple weeks before Easter and make an inexpensive, but adorable, basket for everyone.  I took the pictures below to capture the day. :)

Missing, is the basket I made for my sister, Bri.  I have no idea why I didn't save a picture of it...but it was filled with fashion magazines and candy. :)  Also, my dad didn't get a basket...he got a dozen of his favorite cupcakes instead! :)
