Easter Recap

This was Maura's first Easter but Nathan's third.  Sadly, I forgot to get bunny ears so nobody wore any for pictures like in years past.
The bunny did make a stop on Holyoke St, I don't know if it's like Santa and you have to be well behaved for a visit, but either way we made the cut.  The kids had fun looking in their baskets, Nathan was especially fond of the bubbles which he learned to blow the week before.  The stuffed animals were from a fundraiser and have these "scent packs" in them, they smell amazing.
I made a new recipe for breakfast, Cinna-bites.  I highly recommend, it's like Monkey Bread but it won't break your teeth if it sits.  It was a sweet dough (thanks for the flavoring, Mom) rolled in cinnamon sugar and put into 2 cake pans instead of a bundt.  In the bottom of the cake pans I put some maple syrup and poured butter over after the bites were added.  Overnight in the fridge (I love that trick) with a quick thaw and re-rise before popping in the oven.  They disappeared before I could grab a picture!
We all ate the fresh bread and forgot about eggs, so we had those with the leftover breakfast for lunch.  Maura is not a fan of eggs, Nathan likes them warm instead of cold like the hardboiled ones.  He was a fan of whacking them on the table to break them though.
During Maura's morning nap Nathan was able to go and see if any eggs were left in the yard for him to find, and sure enough there were tons.  There was a piece of chocolate inside each egg, which he quickly figured out and started just eating the chocolate while leaving the egg behind.  Then he was disappointed when there were only open, empty eggs left.  The horrors of being 2.
I made a ham dinner, with awful rolls that started a fight (long story), roasted brussel sprouts, glazed carrots, mashed potatos and roasted potatos.  I also made lemon meringue pie for dessert!  It was amazing.  The vanilla cupcakes were over mixed and on the tougher side.  Maura didn't seem to mind, though (see picture on facebook).
It was a good holiday overall, although not complete without my family.

Happy boy

He painted with the craft that the bunn left him

Egg Hunt Time

There is something in that one still

I think he spied another egg and wouldn't look at me

I didn't leave her out, she is always blurry though, she moves too fast.
