Here Comes Peter Cottontail...Hoppin' Down the Bunny Trail!


What a better way to kick off Easter weekend than with brinner Friday night?!? You want an answer. The answer is NOTHING! Brinner is always a winner, remember?! French toast was requested. So, I jazzed it up a bit. Using a bunny cookie cutter, I created a Brinner Bunny. His eyes are chocolate chips. His whisker and mouth are thin apple slices. He seemed like he needed a little something, so a quick dash of powdered sugar sweetened him up. And what's a bunny without a fluffy tail? It's nothing is what it is. That's just a little squeeze of whipped cream. Yummy in our tummies. Seriously though, what is it about fun shaped food that makes kids just devour it? I guess I really don't care what the answer to that question is as long as they are eating!


Hunting for eggs Saturday morning for Easter round 1.


With the loot.


Easter round 2 was here. Look! The Easter Bunny came. We had planned to leave out a snack for him. We had decided that bunnies liked celery, pickles, and Skittles. But that didn't happen. All I will say is, bed time came very quickly due to some sassy behavior so snacks weren't left out. Don't fret though. The Easter Bunny made himself at home and went right into the fridge to get his own snack!


And in doing so, he left a little treat behind for a cute little girl to find!


Basket of goodies.


A little confused but loving it all nonetheless!


Easter morning breakfast was bunny pancakes with a side of carrot shaped pancakes.


All dressed up for Easter round 3. Totally cute. Like, totally. I love the Easter dress part of Easter.


Girlfriend just couldn't handle all of the excitement. Good thing her awesome uncle was there to cuddle her.

We finished up the day with Easter round 4. By the end of the day, a lot of foods were consumed by all parties. We came home, put our jammies on, and watched Disney Earth. If you haven't watched that or Disney Ocean I highly recommend them. They are so good. All four of us were glued. The best part of Earth was when the wood duck babies "fly" out of their nest for the first time. And by fly, I mean, fall out of the tree into a pile of leaves. We laughed and laughed!  Then there are the baby elephants, the baby polar bears, and the baby whales.

Anyway. I hope everyone had a glorious weekend full of family and food. Spring has officially been kicked off. Time for warmer days!
