Is everyone just loving this time of year? I am. All the pastels, new blossoms, longer days and evening sunshine. We had some little friends (and some Mama’s, too) over earlier this week for some cookie decorating goodness. So fun to connect and get caught up on eachothers lives.

I always wished I could decorate cookies like you see at Williams Sonoma or on Martha. You know, where the frosting is completely smooth, the lines perfectly piped. I’m dreamin’. I’ve been using this recipe from Martha for years. It makes a lot of cookies (I still have 1/2 the dough in the refrigerator!) I think it’s nearly identical to the Easter one that’s been posted, but they’ve halved the ingredients. Either way, it’s a keeper.

Have you seen Amy’s egg’s? I love them. She gives a great tutorial. I wish I had time to make some. It’d be fun to do it in fabric, too.  Another great tute can be found here for dying Easter eggs. I’m loving those- the colors are just gorgeous. If you are in the market for making your own peep’s, check out my sisters blog, she’s got a recipe and instructions. They look delish!

I was looking at last years blog, you know to reflect back and see what we were doing then, to see how much Henry has grown, to see what sweet treat’s we were making. We are actually going back to our old stomping ground on Friday morning for another Easter egg hunt. We dug out that very easter basket tonight in preparation for tomorrow and it still has last years tag hanging on it with bunny sticker and all. I think it’s going to be tradition and Henry’s official Easter basket moving forward.

Have a lovely weekend!
