Easter (1 of 2)

Most of Greg's family came up Conference weekend to meet the "soon-to-be" new addition to our family. We all got to go to Ashley's parents house that Saturday afternoon so everyone could get to know each other. They were great hosts and even threw a little easter egg hunt into the mix for the kiddos. Unfortunately I didn't get the greatest pics since the baby was having a melt down and Axton's bag broke leading him to an almost melt down. So here is what I do have.

Brooklynn and Daniela finding eggs on the playhouse.

Talia (don't mind her too large swimsuit!)

Vanessa afraid someone might take the egg she spotted!

Axton showing me his broken bag (which led to his cousins taking some of his lost goods and meltdown!) Luckily when it was said and done his cousins where sweet enough to give him some of theirs since he only ended up with about 5 eggs.

Trying to get all of the Leavitt grandkids to smile at the same!


Axton had been begging me to make sugar cookies and cake pops for several months so I kept telling him I would for easter. Well easter approached before I was ready. So I was in a mad dash to get all the ingredients Thursday night. I made the cake Thursday, baked the cookies bright and early Friday since we were headed to the zoo. When we got back from the zoo I convinced G-ma Leavitt to help us frost them.


Later that night I was tired and didn't want to do the cake pops but Axton really wanted them so we started. I personally think they look like the ravaging rabbids game characters but this is what you get when you don't prepare a head of time and then can't find the ingredients you want. They tasted better than they look though if I may say so myself (and I don't like cake!).

I think they're cute - and I am sure Axton thought they were the greatest thing ever. :)

Cute pops, I bet it made Axton so happy :). Good luck with the cleaning schedule! There is always so much to keep on top of, sigh.
