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! :)

And later, after breakfast…

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.

And that about sums it up.  Just a darn nice weekend. 

And you know what?  I think it’s gonna be a great week.
