Easter and April 2011

It's been another fun, first holiday at house, with Easter 2011! At the beginning of April, we took the girls to see the Easter Bunny...Madi liked it, but I think Lily was just ready to get away from that crazy rabbit! ;-)

Madi smiling and Lily waving!

April was also the month of our first trip to the park...I wanted to find a park with TWO baby swings, and that is harder than you think. There weren't any by our house, but there was one near my parents (the park I went to in my childhood!). The girls really enjoyed flying through the air!

  

Of course, we can't forget the big day...Easter! We had both of our families over after church for an Easter BBQ (a little non-traditional, but I'm not a bit fan of a ham dinner). We had a great time! The girls got lovely Easter presents, and of course, bunny ears from us! ;-)

 

I can't believe that these little ladies are going to be 1 in June...my babies are getting so big!!

We all had a lovely Easter, and are looking forward to a lovely Friday! :-)

Yummy Cupcakes!

As pathetic as it may sound, before yesterday, I had never baked cupcakes before. Full disclosure, I have only made brownies (and that was only twice). I have decided to try to be more crafty/mom-like (due to my new ETSY obsession!), though....so into the kitchen I went. Also, I better practice now, the girls' 1st Birthday is coming up, and momma has a lot of cupcakes to make!!


Take a look....

Batter ready to pour into the cupcake pan!

Baking away...

Fresh out of the oven!

With icing :-)

Ready to go! (P.S. See a picture of my ladies in the background)

I sampled one of these and they are...delicious! First try at cupcakes was a success :-)
