On Friday my friend and I took our kids to The Zoo Bunny. They had the cutest Easter bunny costume ever but Evie didn't want anything to do with him so no pictures of that haha. She loved searching for eggs though! She had so much fun and she got a chocolate covered egg with peanut butter for her reward for finding five eggs of a different color. She loved it! She's been so loved this weekend as usual and I think she's had more chocolate these last few days then I've given to her in her life time.. What I'm saying is we officially have a choc-a-holic on our hands.

We celebrated Easter on Saturday because Leon was off that day and thankfully my hubby decided he wanted to cook everything. I wasn't complaining because Leon is amazing at cooking. He's got a gift so when he's willing to cook I welcome him to the kitchen with open arms and an excited appetite. He made burgers, amazing chicken, mac and cheese from scratch, beans,  hot dogs,and  cooked veggies,  and Ashley and I made cake and chocolate cream pie. Other than the sweets Evie favored Leon's chicken. She had a whole piece to herself pretty much. We all were amazed.

Evelynne loved her Easter Baskets.  I just adore how loved she is from not just family but friends as well. Our loving friend even surprised Evie with a fun basket. We were so touched.

This Easter was hands down one of my favorites so far and I just know each year as we grow as a family and Evelynne get's older it will just keep getting better!

Easter is one of my favorite things to celebrate. Not just because of the great food and fun with family but mostly as you all can agree Jesus is the One we're celebrating.  I love Him so much and He is so worthy and amazing. Seriously worthy of all of our praise! We also celebrate Easter because it was the day the battle was won. When death lost it's sting and life had a new beautiful meaning. It's when the enemy was brought to shame and God's children were brought to victory. Christ is Risen.

Happy Easter!!

 

Happy Easter Friends!! I hope you are having a wonderful day with friends and family remembering the life Christ lived and the amazing life He died to give us! HE IS RISEN!

What's in Evelynnne's Easter Basket.

I was so excited to buy Evelynne an Easter basket this year. Last year was fun too but this year is extra fun because she's taking interest now and it's so much more fun to buy her things. I think each year the holidays just get better and better. Leon and I are kinda strict with buying things for our baby girl and we don't buy her things that often.. Mainly because she has a lot of people who love her and buy so much for her. So when holidays come around Leon and I both have so much fun going out for her. 

When it comes to Easter baskets I want to be a little more creative and leave the candy out of the picture minus a little Easter chocolate bunny but that's it. Other then that we did books, other snacks, and just some fun stuff.

As soon as I saw this I couldn't help but want one for Evelynne. She's such a mini Starbucks lover and she always wants mine when I have one. So I really think this might tone down her desire for mine when she has her own. 

   

Ty Tiptop Giraffe In case you didn't know Evelynne has a thing for giraffes. She loves them. So when I came across this little guy and how soft he was I had to buy him. Plus she loves soft things and this giraffe is super soft. 

 

 

Sense and Sensibility I've been wanting to get her the whole collection to this book since she loves her Pride and prejudice one so much! They have so many. 

 

 
 

Annie's snacks are Evelynne's favorites, especially the fruitsnacks and graham crackers. I will definitely be finishing up her basket with these yummy treats, along with a homemade chocolate bunny and bubbles with a few other outside toys.

What are you doing for you kid's Easter basket?? Have any great ideas? I'd love to know in case I want to run out to the store and finish some last minute shopping. :)
