Sharing Easter

Easter is over but I'm still spending a lot of time in Starkvegas. My daughter called me Monday morning to tell me the grand-babies were both sick. She had a doctors appointment on Tuesday and I was to go baby sit for her so we decided that I would go early and help out with the babies. It's a good thing I did my Punkin has strep and has been really sick, we took her to the doctor today and they gave her a shot so she should be feeling better soon!

Here are a few shots I wanted to share from Easter. We had a great time with my Dad and our youngest children on Saturday and then after church on Sunday we road over to visit with Steve's family. We had not seen some of them in a while so that was fun too! I didn't get many photos there because I was too busy visiting.

Remember the cupcakes I made for Punkin to decorate, well here she is with one of them. We had a great time and believe it or not she didn't lick a one of them.

After our Easter egg hunt we had a photo shoot! 

Four Generations with the newest addition to our family.

Sarah and Lida were not with us for Easter but i had to share this, she is growing up so fast.

I haven't seen any Easter pictures of Mary and her family or I would be sure to share them too.

So when the babies are better and I can return home maybe I can start cooking again and share some more great recipes, I have a few in mind now.

Take care and I hope your Easter was as happy as ours.

Thanks for stopping by y'all and please come again soon!

Happy Easter Y'all!

I'm getting ready to go celebrate Easter with our youngest children the only wish I have at this point is that we all could be together as a family but since we can't I'll make the best of it.

I have made simple chocolate cupcakes for me and my Punkin to decorate. Now the problem is Punkin will probably apply the frosting and then lick some of it off, its a good thing only Dad, Mom and Pepaw will be eating them! This is how I make memories with the grand-children. I bought my ingredients to do this with my older grandchildren while they were in town but I wasn't home due to a stomach procedure and didn't have the chance to do it so now Punkin and I will decorate them.

Here are the cupcakes before taking them to Starkvegas and if I remember I'll take a photo of the finished product.

For my gluten free dessert I made my Chocolate Chip Cheese Bars, I haven't had them in a while and everyone loves them and they are super easy so it was a no brainer!

I changed my recipe up a little, I added a pudding mix to my cookie mix and a teaspoon of vanilla to my cream cheese mixture. I also used one forth of the mix for the bottom crust and crumbled the rest over the top. It make a crunchier topping with a rich creamy middle and I think I like it a lot better. You can find the recipe Here!

Have a great Easter friend and I'll see you after it's over!
