Saturday Eric worked in the yard and I began baking. I had a sad attempt at trying to copy Williams-Sonoma Easter cookies. I had the cutters, they are copper & SO cute. I didn't have time to really make the dough, so I just bought the sugar cookie dough ready made. I got them all cut out & put in the oven. I always underbake cookies a little because we like them soft :) I open the oven & all of them were just blobs! They had all lost their shape & I have no idea why. So I didn't have the patience to try & decorate blobs, so I made some Sprinkles lemon cupcakes instead!!I went shopping for a bit at Utica Square trying to find something to wear to church because it was going to be so cold on Easter. Banana Republic was having a sale on dresses, so I ended up finding a pretty cute one for $50. That will do! I also got some spring tops at Ann Taylor Loft.
I went back home & made a strawberry chiffon pie to take to dinner at my dad's Saturday night & also one to take to my grandmother's on Easter Sunday. I had never made this before, but it was easy & turned out to be quite tasty! I also cut some of the lilac that bloomed at our house to put on the table. We had a nice dinner at dad's, he made his specialty pork tenderloin!
It rained all night Saturday & we woke up to a very wet Easter Sunday! Church was great though, good crowd despite the weather. Then we headed over to my grandmother's house & had one of my favorite meals ever, lunch at my grandma's. Mom made ham, sweet potatoes, spinach salad, deviled eggs, rolls & green beans. It is so dang good!!! My mom still gives Lauren & I, and now Eric, Easter baskets every year. We always look forward to them, I don't care if I am 31 :)
We are so grateful for the time spent with family this weekend and that everyone is healthy & doing well! Such a blessed time :)
What a fun Easter you guys had!! I love that your mom still gets you easter baskets. Too dang cute. I'm so impressed with your baking too. I might have to try that strawberry chiffon sometime.
