It's a family tradition!

EASTER IN MARCH!



I cannot believe Easter is in two days!  I love Easter but having it in March is too early.  This picture was taken last year of the boys and their Grandma's.  The boys were so excited when they gave their Grandma's an Easter lily.  I love that they enjoy giving as much as receiving!  

Playing the Easter bunny is so much fun for me.  I love buying little toys to fill up the baskets.  My kids have the same baskets year after year.  For some reason the Easter bunny puts the baskets in our Living room, a room we rarely use.  I bring this up because yesterday the boys found a bunny stuffed animal and they told me that they were going to leave it out for the Easter bunny....I said ok!  Later that day I was picking up all the toys around the house and I found the stuffed bunny laying on the coffee table in the Living room....THIS IS WHERE THE BUNNY PUTS THEIR BASKETS!!! I had an AWE MOMENT!  They remembered!  =)

We of course have an Easter egg hunt.  This is my husband's job and he takes it very serious!  He puts money in the eggs, the older kids love this more than the little ones.  None the less everyone enjoys hunting the eggs until 20 minutes has passed and they can't find some of their eggs.  My husband hides them so well that sometimes he forgets where he hid them! 

Our Easter dinner is always Ham, potatoes, asparagus, deviled eggs, dinner rolls & a salad.  Every year it's the same & it's delicious!  I change up the dessert, sometimes I purchase a Nothing But Bundt cake because they are so cute & so delicious!  I usually try a new Pinterest recipe.  This year I am making the carrot cake cookies since everyone loved them so much! (SEE RECIPE BELOW)

The deviled eggs are made from the Easter eggs the kids colored from the night before!  This is a must.  Big or little, coloring eggs is so much fun for everyone!  The grandparents even get involved & it's such a wonderful family event! 


That's our Easter tradition!  

Here are a few more pictures from last year!  









Happy Easter! -Paula
