Easter

This year we hosted Easter at our house. It was great to get everyone together, but cooking for 20 people certainly takes up a good portion of your day. That being said, the pictures I have are quite disappointing lol.

For dinner we had ham, mashed potatoes, scalloped potatoes, candied yams, corn, green bean casserole (which I had to run all over town to find enough fresh green beans), stuffing, sweet carrots, a tossed salad and two kinds of rolls. For appetizers we had deviled eggs and a bread dip bowl with veggies and for dessert I made orange and carrot cupcakes, brownie bites and mini pies (banana and chocolate cream, smores, and lemon meringue). It was quite the delicious day.

Cameron was spoiled by everyone and received lots of Easter gifts, which was completely unexpected but very much appreciated. His favorites include new race cars, a golf set and his favorite macaroni and cheese, but his all time favorite has to be the money he found in the plastic eggs. Cameron LOVES money.

Here are a couple of, like I said, disappointing pictures of the day lol

Beautiful flowers given to us by Tim's aunt Sharon



Family Pictures

Recently, we went to the Botanical Gardens and a friend took some family portraits for us. Here are a few of my favorite :)
