Easter Roundup


Didn't it feel like Easter was waaaaay too early this year? Nonetheless, my family carried on the time honored tradition of Easter Pie Day. For those new to the blog, it's an entire day of cooking the day before Easter. (Because cooking for Easter just isn't enough!) We make an obscene amount of Easter Pies, aka Pizza Gain. This year we produced 16, although the last pie was really a double wide because we were all worn out by that point. Family members come and go throughout the day and many a pie was devoured.


My day started off with my bed being stolen by these two cuties. Little did they realize Addy was so close!


Crazy morning curls!



This was the only time Hannah partook in the Easter bunny ears, but Grace loved them.



Pie filling. Unlike every other Pizza Gain recipe I've ever seen, we add rice to our pies. We think Grandma May did this to stretch the amount of pies being made, but I can't imagine them any other way.

Easter morning, I talked the girls into a quick photo shoot. I'm still working on perfecting the white seamless backdrop, but there are a few keepers here.






My personal favorite




I goofed around with some new filters on this one.




And on to the Easter Egg Hunt! James and Aria were at another gathering this year, so it was much easier to take pictures of two crazy kids running through the yard.

Easter Roundup 2014


Easter is always a bit of a blur for me. My family spends all day on Saturday making Easter Pies and then we move on to Easter Sunday. I was focused on making the dough, but thankfully, my brother and sister in law grabbed my cell phone and snapped a couple pictures of myself and Grace.



The future of Easter Pies are in good hands!


I love that my face is hidden behind Grace's curls



Somebody finally figured out that walking thing!




Dear Hannah, thanks for being the only one who looked at me for this group picture...


Everyone scattered during the easter egg hunt






Grace passed that blue and purple egg about a dozen times before noticing it



Hannah had her turn inside the house later on and was super proud of herself for finding all the eggs
