Last weekend we celebrated Easter with both sides of the family (whoever was able to) at our house, which was really nice! The weather was amazing all weekend!
In preparation for Easter we dyed eggs when we were home on Thursday after our trip. It was pretty uneventful. We didn't have a special technique this year, just a regular ol' dye kit.
Saturday we celebrated with Scott's parents. Jackie and her family were in Colorado on spring break and Mindy and Matt had their beautiful baby boy this same afternoon at 2:30pm! Welcome Luka!! Since it was a nice evening we grilled some burgers, had pasta salad, corn, regular salad, and fruit. Evan and I had made carrot cake cupcakes from scratch including a homemade cream cheese frosting that we enjoyed for dessert.
Sunday morning the kids were ready to get up and find their baskets by 7:30am. The bunny did a good job hiding them this year! The kids took a bit to find Evan's basket. We made cinnamon rolls, scrambled eggs and bacon for breakfast. I did some food prep for later in the afternoon, we took the dog for a walk, and then we all settled in to watch mass on youtube.
My parents came by for a late lunch/early dinner after several days of traveling home from Arizona. It was so nice to see them! We grilled steaks from the Eastern Market of Canton and I made cheesy potatoes, homemade mac and cheese, asparagus, salad, and some rolls. It was pretty darn tasty! We had more of the carrot cake cupcakes for dessert and the kids had their special cookie the bunny brought them.
We put together an egg hunt for the boys in the late afternoon. Evan's were hid in the front yard and Sean's were in the back. The kids had fun looking for them and they were filled with candy and money.
We had a beautiful Easter with both sides of the family and the boys got pretty spoiled from the Easter bunny and both sets of grandparents. It felt nice to have this holiday feel a bit more normal than the previous year.
