Glimpse of Easter

We had such a great Easter - full of worship, family and food. My parents drove in and we had a huge lunch at my aunt's house. There was literally so much food that everyone got their feelings hurt that the dishes they brought weren't completely gone. It's rare to have leftovers in our family! 

My favorite part was dessert, as always. We had: brownies, strawberry cupcakes, strawberry shortcake, strawberry cake, divinity nut pie, banana pudding and my Oreo cake. And that's just what I can think of off the top of my head. Needless to say, my pants are pretty snug today. 


I do have eyeballs in there...it was just so bright outside.


And of course Easter is never the same without an egg hunt.



How was y'alls Easter?

Worship and family Easters are the best! We had a smaller gathering with just the immediate family, but still a good time.

Glad you had a great Easter, it truly is my favorite! The holes in HIS hands healed the holes in OUR hearts!!! :)

Sarah @ Scissors and a Whisk said...

Lol! I'm sure you do have eyeballs <3

Mine was good! My hubby was off (he works every other week so normally it's no surprise when I have to tell my family he's not coming), so that was a total PLUS!

We cracked confetti eggs on one another, had a couple of pinatas, and just hung out. Lots of food.

Easter is such a great holiday. There's the religious aspect and that's of course the most important part but I love a good Easter basket too. Glad yours was a good one!

Michaela said...

Melissa Jo said...

My favorite part of the day would be dessert too with a list like that! Anything with oreos in it tends to be my favorite. Glad you had a fun Easter!

BF said...

Looks like you had a great Easter! I love egg hunts, but haven't done one in years! : (

Lindsey @ Running Down A Dream said...

Looks like a perfect Easter day :)

Jess - PrettyPhysicist said...

You're so cute! Seriously ... how do you do it? I spent most of Saturday and Sunday cooking since the fam came to our house ... it was busy, and I was nervous (it was our first holiday hosting at our house), but it was fun!

Amber said...

All those desserts? I wouldn't have eaten actual dinner, just gorged on sweets all day :) Love your outfit, very cute!

Ashley said...

I'm not sure I could even wear pants for a few days if I enjoyed all of those desserts you mentioned. Yum yum! You all look so happy, and oh how I'd love to watch little ones hunt for Easter eggs. Adorable.

Glad you had a nice Easter. Surprisingly my husband and I ended up having the day off together, and we enjoyed our Easter dinner of grilled hot dogs at the park haha.

Angel said...

sounds like a great easter!! and that dessert list sounds AMAZING.
my family and i had a quiet, relaxing afternoon complete with watching gone with the wind last night.

Heather said...

I would much rather have the desserts than the real food any day :).

Katy said...

I am so jealous of all of those yummy sounding desserts! And of the fact that you had sunshine for Easter! Other than spending time with family, the best part of my Easter was coming home and finding our yard covered with eggs that our friends had hidden :o)

Mrs. Pancakes said...
