Easter, continued.

I am slowly coming down from my sugar high and preparing to face the disaster zone that is ~~my kitchen~~ my whole house, but I’m doing it all with a happy heart.

As you may have read yesterday, it was a GOOD weekend, and particularly a good Easter. I think sometimes, during different parts of our lives, family holidays and events just become more meaningful, and you cherish them more.

Also, since I started getting into photography, I seem to see the world through different eyes. Everything is just more beautiful… more worthy of being remembered. Interesting how that works.

Most of Saturday afternoon I spent baking and frosting cupcakes. I only made two dozen, but I’m the world’s slowest and most meticulous baker. I have this paralyzing fear of misreading the directions of a recipe and being a big fat screw-up. So I check and recheck and then check my doublechecking.

And then comes the frosting part. Forget it.

A few pictures of the cupcakes? If you insist.

(And fyi, I think my cupcake-baking string is over. I’m feeling a little burnt out. But they sure are pretty, eh?)

Anyway. I digress.

Easter Sunday morning, Matthew and I headed over to my mom and Edd’s for a fabulous breakfast and wonderful conversation.

I love those two.

My mommy had a little Easter surprise for me: some peeps (my fave), and a pair of lovely earrings from Flow Designs, which just happens to be one of my sponsors! :)

Purdy, huh?

And later, after breakfast…

(The weenie dog is my mom’s, Nicky. He’s a very old baby.)

Poor Edd’s a baldy now. Damn cancer.

Then we went over to spend time with Matthew’s side of the family. There was tons of delicious food and great conversation and a little game a croquet. ‘Twas marvelous.

Me & my MIL :)
