This year Easter was kind of a pathetic attempt at a celebration for me.
These three jars were all the Easter decorating I had time for. And I didn't even get a wreath on my door - totally lame.
But I was pleased that the Easter bunny still managed to find our poorly decorated apartment. And he still left treats and gifts for us all.
Bennett had a fun first Easter playing with the eggs!
And he looked so handsome in his new Easter outfit!
We did enjoy a magnificent Easter feast (just for the 3 of us) with THESE most amazing au gratin potatoes. They were the most delicious potatoes I have ever eaten. I didn't get pictures though so check out Mel's Kitchen Cafe for pictures good enough to eat.
We also enjoyed a slower than usual Sunday morning with dad home to eat breakfast with us. We had IHOP pancakes (recipe to come soon), scrambled eggs, and fresh strawberries. That is the biggest breakfast I have made on a Sunday in probably over a year now. It was fun to eat all together.
I also whipped up some special Easter cupcakes for dessert, although by the time we ate dinner and candy from the Easter Bunny we had no room for our cupcakes. They were fun nonetheless.

Eggs in the Grass Easter Cupcakes
Cupcakes
Frosting
Shredded, Sweetened Coconut
Green Food Coloring
Jelly Beans
Put coconut in a bowl and put 4 drops of green food coloring in. Mix with a fork until coconut is a nice, grassy green. Frost cupcakes, dip in green coconut, and put jelly beans on top so they look as though they are Easter eggs hiding in the grass.
I had this idea from Our Best Bites' chick cupcakes. Then I saw Dana's Easter eggs in the grass cookies at MADE and I sort of just combined the ideas to create my own version.
