And I found my camera charger! It's a story for another blog post but I blame the gnomes. So I have a few pictures for your viewing pleasure.
We decorated eggs with our Aunt Denise and the Co-ed on Saturday night. That's always eventful. Afterward, we made our traditional Resurrection Cookies. The kids look forward to these. Their favorite parts? Da Boo likes taping the oven. The Boy likes tasting the salt.
Here are my beautiful girls, wearing matching Easter dresses, courtesy of Grandma G. Wanna know the reason why Baby is smiling so big? Because the Man can get her to smile and laugh like no other. I'm not ashamed to say that I'm a little jealous.
And here's how the Boy was dressed for most of Easter Sunday, thanks to an early birthday present. You can see the collar of his dress shirt underneath...I promise I didn't let him go to church like that.
As usual, I like to try something new and crazy for Easter's dessert (and having Peep Wars doesn't count). I love and adore Bakerella (and if you aren't already drooling over her site, then what is wrong with you??) A little while ago she featured a 14 Layer Cake and I was immediately hooked. So I tried it.
It took me 2 1/2 hours to make but oh my! Isn't it pretty? The scalloped effect was created by the disposable pans I used and I must say, it really made it look spectacular. Go see Bakerella's pictures of the inside of the cake because mine all came out blurry. It's definitely got the "WOW!" factor! And the taste? WELL WORTH the time involved!

Holy Cow. That cake looks amazing.
I was going to say the exact same thing as Melanie. Incredible!
That is the most adorable picture of the girls!! What a great smile on Baby! The boy looks to be the same scamp as usual.

What cute little matching girls you have!! And pretty dresses too! Your cake looks very yummy. :) Sounds like a wonderful Easter!
Baby is getting so cute! 2 1/2 hours on a cake! Wow, impressive!
That cake looks Heavenly! Your girls look adorable in their matching dresses. The Boy makes one good looking Spiderman! :)
Look at baby smile!! Oh such a cute girly! LOVE the cake, wish I had gotten to eat some, cause dang it looks yummy.
Your girls are beautiful, and I must say so is that cake. Mmmmmmmmmm...
My Love says the cousins (yours, mines, others)all look related :)
He can't wait for a family reunion to see them all together.
I went to the Bakerella link... were your pans a fancy shape to get the scalloped edge shape?
This is a cake I want to try (and you know how I feel about cake)
I think I like the messy drippy look rather then the butter creamed fancy look.
The kids are sooo cute!! Looks like everyone had a great time (peep wars sound fun). Spring Time is the BEST!!
The shot of the girls is too cute! And I wonder, if you spend 2 hours baking a cake, do you then get to spend 2 hours working at it with a fork? I sure hope you had enough milk to go with that!
