Easter Egg Hunt!

My friend Kristi and I  hosted an Easter Egg hunt at her house this past Sunday.  It was so much fun! Everything was just perfect, the kids, the food, the weather; we really couldn't have asked for a better day! 

Our menu was simple but complete for an afternoon affair.  We served ham and tea biscuits, artichoke bites, strawberries and marshmallows on a skewer, Kristi made Cadbury Egg cupcakes (OMG GOOD!) and I made candied dipped marshmallows. 










 We are going to Daphne for Easter this weekend and I really looking forward to it.  I know the kids will enjoy it. I hope to get some good pictures to post. So until then...

In the Begining...

I have recently become a follower of some of the cutest and most entertaining blogs.  I love reading the posts of these women and their everyday challenges life throws at them.  It is amazing to watch them handle these little ups and downs with such grace, dignity and humor, ok and maybe the occasional cocktail.  So, I have decided to start my own.  Don't know if I will have anything to write about, but we will see. 

As the mother of two very active children, we are always on the go.  My son's kindergarten class went on their first field trip this past Friday, I'm not sure if the Natural Science Museum will ever be the same again!  The kids had a blast though and so did the parents, for the most part.

The last of the first cousins on my mom's side got married last night!  I am so happy for Christina and Josh.  They make the cutest couple and she made the prettiest bride!  I loved her dress.  It's always so much fun (and chaos) when my family gets together.  I took both of my children - only because they were invited and against my better judgement.  I spent a very good portion of the reception chasing little E all over the dance floor and throughout the building.  I was sweating very nicely before it was all over!  I was also asleep before 9:30 on a Saturday night!

In just a bit we are going over to my parent's house to celebrate my dad's 60th birthday, which was actually yesterday, but because of the wedding we are celebrating tonight.  WOW 60!  We celebrated another friend of our's 40th birthday Friday night.  We are getting so old!! I hope to post pictures later... until then.
