Easter Weekend

This Easter weekend was super busy and super fun!

Saturday afternoon Madi and I went to church so I could help in the nursery for one of the Easter services.  After church we met Morgan for dinner at one of my favorite cheese fry places - Carolina Ale House! It had been way too long since we saw Morgan. We had a great dinner & then Morgan came to spend the night with us. Morgan and I stayed up "late" (for us - 10:30pm!) watching a movie, but mostly catching up. I just love spending time with her! 

Sunday, Easter morning, Madi opened her Easter basket and then Morgan & I went to the early service at church. Church was wonderful! The music was very moving and just wonderful and the message was great too. My Easter morning was off to a great start...but as I've mentioned before, holidays are not my favorite because with my family, there is almost always drama. This year was no exception; however, my brother and I made the best of it and all was okay! 

After lunch on Sunday Justin & I took Madi to the playground and then went home for some lazy time. M & I had sore throats so it was what we needed!

The pictures are probably more fun to look at than reading this so here ya go:

The Easter Bunny came!

She gets a swimsuit every year in her Easter basket.

Easter Treats!

HAPPY EASTER!!!!

Well, almost! Easter is my favorite holiday!! Madi & I had so much fun making the St. Patrick's day treats, so I found something fun for us to make for Easter too.

(Whoa. I just went through my posts and I don't think I showed these to y'all...)

Rainbow twizzlers & rolos

Bad blogger. Anyway, Madi & I made bird's nest with birds and eggs for my co-workers. We had so much fun! I made the nests and Madi put the "birds" and "eggs" on them. It was very easy for Madi to help and everyone loved them!

The nests are made of chow mein noodles, marshmallows, and butter (rice krispie treat concept). The "eggs" are jelly beans. The recipe called for mini malted milk balls but I couldn't find the mini ones so I just used jelly beans. I think it looks good with either one!

I found both of these ideas on Pinterest, of course! Below are the links I got the ideas from. I hope you have as much fun with these as we did!
