Easter Fun

Alex had the week before Easter off for Spring Break. We had lots of special Easter fun everyday (and we are still tired from it!). Monday we had cousin Hayden over and the boys got to cut out sugar cookies and decorate them. They had a great time!
They did really well taking turns.
They also helped me color the frosting.
At last, the awaited for moment where they actually got to eat the cookies came.
On Wednesday, we had our cousins Collin and Jackson over for some lightsaber fighting and egg decorating.
We also had some shrink wrap egg decorations that were really cool. They just looked like plastic that you put around the egg, then you dip the egg in boiling water and they tightened around the egg. They were my favorite.
After we cleaned the egg stuff up, the kids also got to frost some sugar cookies.
As always - the sprinkles are an important part of cookie decorating.
Alex had a great time with his cousins and let me know he was a "lucky boy". :)

Thanks again for letting them come to play - especially for Jackson. He was so excited! I hope it wasn't too much for one day. Can't wait for tomorrow. See ya soon.

How fun for cousins to be close enough to get together and celebrate with a great cookie project. What a cool MOM that would be so patient to plan the day, make the dough, then watch while little hands carve and cut then frost and sprinkle!!!!!!
SUPER GREAT!!!!!wHAT A FABULOUS MEMORY!!!!

The cookies look great. The shrink wrap sounds cool. I might have to try that next year.
