Easter Brunch with God's Sun on Our Shoulders

What is the best way to celebrate Easter? With God's sun on our shoulders.  What a Beautiful day He provided for us this past weekend.  After our egg hunt, we found some time to enjoy some mid-morning baseball before our big meal.

This year was especially fun for us as we were blessed with having Alisa join us for Easter.  Ty and Miley (David's dogs) were especially thrilled she came to visit!

Normally, we do the big Ham dinner with mashed potatoes, green bean casserole, etc.  This year we decided on an Easter Brunch!  Amy has been hooked on Pinterest lately and found a couple of ideas online.  We have now determined she is no longer able to try out new recipes on a holiday.  Regardless of the failed "egg boat"... we all had an amazing meal of ham, egg casserole, blueberry pancakes, mango raisin bread, fruit pizza... the Works!  We even had beautiful tulips on our table; thanks to Alisa!

How do you spelled Spoiled??? In this house we say "K-A-S-E-Y" and "K-A-R-S-T-E-N".  Alisa arrived at our house carrying some gorgeous tulips for our table and some not so little Easter baskets for the boys.  As you can see the boys were thrilled!  The baskets had dinosaurs, sandbox toys, puzzles, books, bubbles, cars ... Wow.  Yep ~ Spoiled!  The baskets were extra useful as it kept the boys entertained for hours on end that day.  I was amazed at both of them being able to take a brand new 12 piece puzzle out of the box and being able to put it together all by themselves! Such Smart Little Guys! Watch out Harvard... The Cannode boys are on their way (Scholarship pending!)

Did I mention it was Beautiful outside?  Yep - we spent the rest of the afternoon chatting it up in the sun.  Even had to put up the umbrella since it was SO Sunny!  Here are some pics of us enjoying more of our Blessed day outside!

Yep; relaxation at it's best!

Hmm - little help on the monkey bars, eh Kasey?

 After our lovely guests got sick of us... er; I mean left for the evening... we decided to have the boys dye some Easter eggs.  There was quite a bit of independence from the boys; which resulted in a lot of Splatter, but overall... Everyone had a blast!

Happy Easter! We hope your day was as Sunny and Bright as ours!
