Something Unexpected Always Happens! (Easter Recap)

Well lovelies it's Monday morning already. It seems like three day weekends go by quicker than your average two day weekends.

Thursday afternoon I attended the 2014 RBC Heritage as my work sponsored a tent right on the 18th green overlooking the water. To say it was beautiful is an understatement. Pictures were not allowed on Thursday, but I was able to snag a few from the tent!

FYI - this is not edited at all. Beautiful right?!

On Friday Tarl had to work, however I was off so Cadence and I spent a girls day in beautiful Beaufort. I knew Easter wasn't supposed to be sunny and 80 degrees like the entire week had been, so my coral colored spring dress that I purchased specifically for Easter wouldn't work for the 60 degree weather that was planned, so I was on a mission to find a more weather suitable dress.

We had family pictures arranged before our Easter dinner and I knew that we would be outside for at least an hour, so a knee high sleeveless dress just wouldn't work. Thank goodness Belk had this beautiful navy and coral aztec maxi. It was one of those dresses that on the hanger you say "eh" but once you try it on it just works! It was also marked down from $38 to $13 - SOLD!

The rain set in as soon as Cadence and I got home on Friday afternoon, so we spent the rest of the day snuggled in bed until daddy got home.

Once Saturday arrived, so did all the baking to prepare for Easter Sunday. Cadence and I both love baking, and Tarl loves eating our baked treats. So while he napped we whipped up some delicious chocolate "bunny head" cupcakes and some vanilla "bunny tail" cupcakes. We also made rice krispy treats in the shape of little chicks (these were a hit!).

Cadence may have snagged a rice krispy treat or two or three while decorating them.

Even Hector the cat wanted a little bite, believe it not this cat likes marshmallows!

Saturday night after dinner, we made Resurrection Rolls as seen on Pinterest. What a wonderful way to teach kids what our wonderful Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ did for us those many many years ago.

They were very easy to make and something we will be making again for dessert. Once out the oven, they taste just like a warm fresh cinnamon roll. 

Ingredients:

Package of Crescent Rolls

Marshmallows

Cinnamon Sugar 

Melted Butter

Directions:

Open and unroll the crescent rolls as you normally would. The crescent roll is the tomb that Jesus was placed in after he died on the cross for the forgiveness of our sins. The marshmallow is Jesus and you dip that in the melted butter then roll them around in the cinnamon sugar. You place them in the crescent rolls and instead of rolling up you pull all the sides up to make a little tomb. 

Bake per the directions on the crescent roll box and when you cut them open the marshmallows are gone, just like Jesus was once they opened up the tomb. 

Cadence was enamored by this and truly understood the story of Jesus that Tarl and I were explaining to her. 

Saturday night at 9:30 my phone rang...a sign that normally isn't a good one. My sister had became very sick and wasn't going to be able to make it. Mix that with the torrential rain that we had got on Friday and Saturday, this makes for a not so pretty day to take pictures or play games. 

Our pictures and all our Easter games were called off and we all ended up wearing jeans and a t-shirt. We have put our official Easter games and pictures on hold until Angela gets better and our yards dry up enough to take pictures on. Something always happens...that's life, right!?

We still had a wonderful Easter holiday and not only was Cadences spoiled, but so was I!

Cadence loved her bike (gotta love her big t-shirt PJs!) and I very unexpectedly got a Kate Spade purse that I have been eyeing...Tarl loves his girls!

We also made bunny tail pancakes for breakfast...they were delicious!

Naturally it wouldn't be Easter without a trip to the farm with Grandma, Grandaddy and baby chicks!

Easter, round 2, in a couple of weeks, and I'll be sure to share the details when that happens.

Happy Monday!
