Easter Recap

Was able to snatch a few quick pictures before we headed to church.
we hosted the dinner this year. 
Last time we did this was 2010.
I think we will need a bigger house before we host again. haha

The flowers are compliments of Fresh Market. 

 Here is the side view of the room.
We were able to go and pick up my grandmother's hutch from my parent's this past week!
It fits perfectly in this space.

Everyone had a golden egg and some chocolate waiting on them at the table.


Here is my way way too big girl! 
How is she this big??? 
It must stop! Time is passing way way too quickly.

 And this little bug decided to grab the curling iron while we were getting ready. 
Scared me to death and I think my horror and screaming scared him more than the tiny blister hurt him. 
 Did I mention my obsession with his curls?
And this was the best picture they let me get of the two of them. 
Don't worry we will redress and try this picture again! haha

 Everyone was greeted at the door with birds nests and cotton candy shirley temples.
(btw, this is a great way to distract company while you get everything on the table)
They enjoyed a sugar overload while I had plenty of room to assist hubby in the kitchen and get everything to the sideboard for serving.
This is a TOTAL copy cat of Dixie Delights cake from last year!

It was too cute and looked too yummy to not try!!
The $11.00 coconut cake was a hit! 

please note the dermaplast on the table. haha. had to keep that boys hand doctored then let it breathe!

giddy about some hair clips!!

 Crazy babies!

And a last look at our Shirley Temples! 
It was too fun watching my parents and children light up over something so simple!
Thank you pinterest and Dixie Delights for  your inspiration.

He rose to Save Us!!!!
It was my sin and your sin that held him there but he is Risen!!!
What a glorious thing to celebrate with the ones you love!!

heather- the stuff on top is called edible grass. supposed to taste like green apple. we just used it for "fluff" to decorate and took it off before we cut the cake.

Amanda- thanks! I love a good excuse to dress everyone up!!I will expound on the painting in the next few posts :)
