The Thompson Family Report: Easter

I hope you like pictures...

Easter weekend involved lots of work, fun, and family! My mom and James' mom and sister came up for the weekend. This means two things, 1. we tend to get alot done around the house 2. James and I get to go out! :) Saturday mom and I went to a class on how to make a rain barrel. We even used a power drill! Mom got picture of me but it's on her phone so I can't share it... man!! :) While were doing that, my wonderful husband was replacing the huge pedestal sink in the bathroom with a much better cabinet sink model. The kids, of course, played in the box. Is there anything better than a big box to play in??? I still remember when we got a new refrigerator growing up. We played in that box for weeks! I guess I should say I forced my brothers to play "house" and "school" in the box for weeks. :) Anyway, here are some box pictures and other misc play pictures.

On Easter morning we all got up and went to church. After church I had the "task" of decorating our Easter bunny cake! I, of course, had a helper...

O shaking the "grass" to put around the bunny

Once the bunny was frosted, we needed to sprinkle it with coconut for that fur-like look!

I like this picture because if you look behind me, you will see what Grandma Sharon and S did most of the morning.... look at what was cooking! S loves, loves, loves, to be in the kitchen and look at what is cooking!

Speaking of what else was going on during our cake decorating....
Aunt Kim peeling potatoes.

Dad mowing the yard

Gaga cooking(and taking most of the pictures in this post- thanks Mom!)

Grandma trying to keep S entertained

Back to the cake...
Here we are making sure the cake is completely covered so we...

can put on the eyes and nose...

and ears!!

(yes, the eyes are two different colors)

Can't forget the whiskers!

I like this picture because it shows my little guy's favorite pose!

Now that the bunny was done, we had to frost the cup cake baskets! I had a great idea to make the extra cupcakes into Easter baskets with green frosting, jellybean eggs, and Twizzler pull-n-peels for handles. Every thing worked but the handles... oh well! O decided she needed to frost her own cupcake.
