Easter 2015

A few weeks ago we celebrated Sophia's first Easter! We spent lots of time with family and friends, and ate a TON of yummy food. Unfortunately Sophia was just beginning to get that AWFUL flu bug so our Easter festivities turned out to be a bit more 'low key' then planned. But we still had a great time!! 

The week before Easter we just happened to be walking through the mall and saw the Easter Bunny! Sophia loved him and kept trying to pet his hands! 

I added a few 'Easter' touches around the house! 

This was a bad idea...I have a BAD addiction to Mini Eggs and 
this bowl never seemed to stay full for very long...



On Good Friday we celebrated Easter with my family and my Grandma. 
Sophia was not feeling very well at this point but we still managed to get her dressed in her Easter dress!

Easter gifts from Grandma and Grandpa!

She's starting to understand how to open presents!


She was VERY intrigued by this glittery,singing chick!

Table all set for a yummy Easter dinner!

On Saturday we celebrated Easter with Damian's parents at a local restaurant. Sophia was in rough shape again, so she spent most of the evening snuggled up in someones arms.



Easter Morning!!
The Easter bunny stopped at our house and brought Sophia her special basket!

She was pretty excited! And feeling a little bit better for a few hours!


YUM! Treats from her plastic eggs!

New shades for summer!



She was VERY excited about her new bathing suit!

And at first she was afraid of the bubbles...but that turned around quickly!

Damian made us a yummy Easter brunch!

Sick little girl was NOT loving her bunny ears! ha! 

Back at Grandma and Grandpa's for another Easter meal!

And the Easter Bunny stopped there too! 
Another special basket of goodies for Sophia!

The Easter Bunny brought Sophia TWO pairs of Toms! 
And she thought they were a very tasty treat!


That Grandma is SOO funny!!

Chocolate fondue for dessert! YUMMY!!

Hanging out with Uncle Kellen. 
Who was wearing Grandpa's chef coat for some reason?! 

Sophia liked when Uncle Kellen put on the bunny ears! 

And that was our Easter! 
We had a wonderful time with family, but just wished that Sophia had been feeling a bit better. I hope you all had an enjoyable Easter with your loved ones as well!

Easter Basket Ideas!

It's hard to believe that we will be celebrating Easter this week! It feels so early this year!! Especially since just a few days ago we had 3 feet of snow on the ground!! This will be Sophia's first Easter, so like everything else, I want to make it special. I looked around for the 'perfect' Easter basket for her and I ended up finding one that I really liked at Target. I have plans to get her name embroidered on it...but that didn't happen for this year. I had to put a lot of thought into what I wanted to put in her Easter basket this year, because obviously chocolate and candy were not going to work. And we definitely DO NOT need more random toys and 'stuff' around our house. So I went the VERY practical route and got her things that she 'needs'...or that I would have been buying her for Spring anyway! 

Hopefully this helps anyone who may need some 
Easter basket ideas for a baby close to them! 



In Sophia's Easter Basket:
1. Sand pail and shovel (Dollarama)
2. Easter book (Superstore)
3. Wooden Puzzle (Dollarama)
4. Pajama's (Costco)
5. Stuffie (Walmart)
6. Ducky bath toy (Walmart)
7. Annie's Bunny Pasta with Cheese (Walmart)
8. Bathing Suit (Superstore)
9. Bubbles (Walmart)
10. Sun hat (Superstore)
11. Fuzzy socks (Walmart)
12. Boogie Wipes (Walmart)
13. Crocs (Costco) 
14. Plastic Eggs (Dollarama)

Since Sophia is only 10 months old, there will be no 'Easter Egg Hunt' at our house this year! However I have decided to still fill a few eggs with 'treats' for her to just play around with and 'snack' on for fun. 

This is what will be in Sophia's Easter Eggs this year...

Sophia's very first Easter basket is all filled and ready to go!! 

Happy Easter!!

Easy Easter Treat!!

Looking for an easy peasy Easter treat to make for this weekend?! 
Well your in luck!
On our recent 'Babymoon' trip to Vancouver (blog comings soon) I was inspired by the 'flavoured' rice crispy squares that they served in our hotel bakery! So when we came home I knew I wanted to incorporate my favourite Easter chocolate into a rice crispy square! 
This is definitely not rocket science people...but they ARE delicious!!! 


'Mini Egg' Rice Krispie Squares
What you need:
6 cups Vanilla Rice Krispies
40 large marshmallows
1/4 cup butter/margarine
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup chopped mini eggs
1/2 cup whole mini eggs

Melt the butter in a large bowl in the microwave for approx. 30 seconds.
Add the 40 marshmallows to the melted butter. 
Stir to coat the marshmallows in the melted butter.
Microwave approx. 2 minutes, or until fully melted. Stir.
Gradually add the Rice Krispies and all mini eggs.
Stir quickly, as the mixture will harden.
Press into a greased pan.
Let set for at least 2 hours.
Cut and ENJOY!!
