Aren't they adorable?!

We certainly think so!

Pinewood Derby

As always the cub scout leaders did an amazing job with the event. It was a fantastic set-up, from the emergency car medic room to the weigh in station to the race track decorations, simply very cool! It was a great experience for our little Daniel!! Thank you leaders for all your hard work!!

Easter Festivities

The Saturday before Easter Sunday is the day we typically reserve for the secular celebration of Easter. It was a bit of a cold and rainy day but we had fun anyways! In the morning we colored eggs and worked on our bunny baskets. In the afternoon we hopped on over to the church for the Pinewood Derby. Daniel did great! Then in the evening we enjoyed a nice little BBQ and egg hunt with a few friends. We're grateful everyone was such good sports about playing and hunting in the rain. Good times!

Our cute little egg decorators.

We saw this craft for bunny baskets in a magazine and thought we'd give it a whirl. The kids had a pretty good time making them. Definitely, something we'll do again.

The finished "bunny" baskets. Cute and fun to make.

And the hunt begins, regardless of the rain!

Sara thought it would be more fun to stop and eat the candy in her eggs everytime she found another egg. Silly girl! Notice the soaking wet pants, the rain didn't stop her from having a fun.

Funeral Potatoes with Funeral Ham

I don't mean this disrespectfully and sincerely hope not to offend anyone with the telling of this story....

On Saturday, Bryan was asked to preside over and conduct a funeral service. In conjunction with the funeral was a luncheon for the family. Well, there was quite a bit of ham leftover after the meal. After a generous portion was packed up for the family, the remaining meat was divided up among those who were involved in the "behind the scenes" portion of the service. Long story short, we got some of the ham. So for dinner tonight I used it in a casserole. We commonly refer to this dish as "funeral potatoes". Upon learning what we were having for dinner and the origin of the ham, the kids thought it was the funniest thing ever!!
