Easter Gathering

I hope you all had a blessed Easter. We had a very nice day with a wonderful service at church and some friends for dinner.

We celebrated with our kids on Saturday evening.  We started with an egg hunt. We've been getting lots of rain here and Saturday we got more.  It rained much of the day, so going into the yard to hunt wasn't going to work. We improvised and hid eggs in the garage.  :)

We made it easy to find some eggs for Connor and others were more hidden.

Ready for the hunt!

Having fun!

Cassie (she's wearing a Home Depot apron because Andrew took her there earlier in the day. They were letting the kids do a project and they got these aprons, so she had to wear it to our house and show us)

We had pizza and just enjoyed the evening.

The girls did some coloring and drawing.

Here's all my cuties! We had a nice evening together.

Cooking Thursday

Here's an easy Rice Krispie treat for Easter, or any other special occasion. You can change it by switching out cookie cutter shapes and everyone loves Rice Krispie treats, right?  This makes a bunch and they are fun when packaged individually.

Rice Krispie Cut Outs
5 tablespoons butter

15 ounces or 60 large marshmallows
9 cups Rice Krispies

Decorating sugar, frosting for details...

Grease a jelly roll pan.
Melt butter in large bowl in microwave. Add marshmallows and heat to melt, stirring frequently.
Stir in the Rice Krispies.
Spread mix into jelly roll pan, pressing flat with a buttered spatula.

Sprinkle decorating sugar in color of your choice over all and allow to cool.
Use cookie cutters in shape of your choice to cut out the treats.  Decorate by adding eyes, noses...  If making bunnies, you can attach a mini marshmallow as a tail using frosting.
Package individually in cellophane bags.  I used these from Amazon.
