easter recap

We had a great day yesterday and I just wanted to share some of the photos I took and some links to a few fun crafts and recipes. 

 First off, how cute is he? I made the bow-tie from this awesome tutorial. It really was simple to make so I will definitely be adding a few of these to his wardrobe. 

I made Martha's vanilla bean cookies with raspberry white chocolate cream. Did you know vanilla bean is so expensive? The original price in Jewel for one bean was $14. Thankfully it was on sale for 50% off but still the price tag on these cookies including the premium white chocolate and raspberries was probably over $20. They were good but next time I will make do with just vanilla extract. 

I used lemons in the vase with pretty lilac from my garden. Usually we wouldn't have much at this time of year but the kooky weather brought them on earlier than usual. I thought the lemon water would kill the flowers quickly but they are still perky today. 

I made these deviled eggs. The adults looked a bit suspiciously at them but the kids loved them and this plate was empty in no time. 

I set up the kids for some crafting with some $1 mask kits that I got at Michael's and some Easter coloring book pages.
Great day.
