Easter

Dan and I decided to do Easter Baskets for each other. I have not gotten a basket since I was in High School and have never had the fun of putting one together. I had been collecting things for a couple weeks and gotten candy we both would like...

The candy

The basket and grass (with a few fruit snacks)

A few fun items

All put together

For the weekend we went to our churches Friday night service which was very nice and we were really glad we went. On Saturday we went to a Mad Ants game. The Mad Ants are a Development League for the NBA. They haven't had a good season but we were excited to watch them win by one point!

On Sunday we did the search for the Easter baskets. Dan made a little M&M trail for me...


 He cleverly hid it outside...which was slightly cheating. But the M&M trail was very cute and I just had to follow it. I did go outside but as the M&M trail ended I didn't think to look around the corner of the house.  After a bit of Hot and Cold help and a few hints I was back outside and found my basket.
After church we went to Dan's parents house and had lunch. I made a sweet potatoe dish and some brownies, both turned out really good. We had a nice time filling ourselves with good food and enjoying time to relax.

Sweet Potatoes :)
When we got home later we decided to decorate eggs!




It was a fun weekend and I love being reminded of what Christ did for us and the freedom we have in Him. It was also fun doing things from my childhood. I hope you had a good Easter too!
