easter

March 31, 2013- Easter has come and gone providing much family fun and proof that He is Risen!

Since I'm posting this way after Easter I don't remember many of the details but the pictures prove we had a great time!

Decorating Easter Eggs:

My sugar cookies never hold their shape and usually end up looking like a big puffy blob, so I tried a new recipe.  

Good News: It worked and the cookies came out perfect!  

Bad News: I couldn't find my Easter cookie cutters so we had round biscuit shaped cookies.  And tractors.

The Easter Bunny stopped by and spoiled the River Boys again.

We did a little egg hunting before Mass.

Two Golden Eggs.  How convenient.

After Mass we headed into Kerrville for lunch and found a small patch of bluebonnets on the side of a building.  The River Boys indulged me with a picture.  Hope you enjoy it because it turns out this is the ONLY bluebonnet pics we took this year.  Sad, I know.  My Texas citizenship should be revoked.

  The rest of the day was spent at Oma & Opa's house.  More egg hunting.

After the hunt there is always a cascarone fight/wrestling match with Uncle Duke.  It's tradition.

Then a little bit of fishing.

Oh and the week prior to Easter Pecos had his church program.  He was a red jelly bean.

Since I just can't seem to find the time to update the blog as quickly or as often as I'd like, most of our life ends up on Instagram.  Here's the Instagram version of Easter:
