Eggs, Bunny Ears & Baskets


Thank you Easter Bunny ! 


James was pretty excited about his new mode of transportation.
Crawling hasn't really been his thing.



He also quite likes being transported by basket :-)

However, this method can get a bit risky . . .

. . . and you're liable to begin feeling a bit like a captive.
Perhaps crawling wouldn't be that bad after all James!

It's okay Dad.  Mom said I could :-)  Mmmm. Yummy!

Wait just a minute . . .  
that thing looks suspiciously like a vegetable.

One satisfied bunny.

James's ears perk up when he hears Chad say there are more eggs hidden in the yard.



Uh . . . excuse me.  That does not look like candy to me.

This Bunny only opens for chocolate :-)

We got to have Monique and the fam at our house for Easter.

Monique trying out her latest Community Education skills on us . . .
The art of truffle making.  Yum!


James was more than happy to help Lindsey die Easter eggs.

We went to a great restaurant on Saturday on the Mississippi River called Candlelight Inn.

Hunter, happy with the chance to exercise his taste buds ;-)

In keeping with one of Chad's mom's traditions, I set out to make divinity eggs a few days before Easter.


My little neighbor Justine was happy to sample the fluffy goo.



I enlisted some help with the egg making.  A few friends helped expedite the process.

April and I dipping eggs in chocolate.

Jessica, the master chocolate dipper, helped save a few of the eggs from mayhem.

The kiddos play happily on the floor.
Whala!

James is growing up so fast! The ears are so cute. I can't believe you took on divinity eggs by yourself. That is something I have yet to learn.
