Our Easter Day and Menu

Yesterday was a whirlwind and I didn't have time to write an entry wishing everyone a happy Easter. But we had a great holiday weekend. We decorated cookies and delivered some to our new neighbors, we went swimming at our friend's pool until 9:00 pm.

The girls woke up to their Easter baskets and Ella was so excited about the edible Duck sitting in her basket. She kept saying "duckie, duckie". Ella went straight for the eggs, opening each one and without an hesitation she started to chow down. Luckily, we had to go to church to stop the "candy monster". We came home and all had afternoon naps (which was so nice), then we colored Easter eggs, watched a movie about our Savior and his life and then had our Easter dinner. Lastly, we had our little Easter Egg hunt (inside our house, because our front yard is small and our backyard isn't finished and it was dark), but the girls didn't care, they just love hunting for eggs. Next, year I plan to do more of these things on Saturday, but this year it just didn't happen.

I know everyone has already had their Easter dinners, so this entry is probably not helpful to any of you, but I am including it here, because I want to be able to find it for next year... and in case you are looking for recipes next year... here it will be.
