Easter Appreciation Post 2

I had a surprisingly wonderful Easter. It was so wonderful, in fact, that I'm dividing it into two posts. This is the "traditions" post, which includes: Family Time, a New Recipe, and Easter Egg Decorating. 

Family Time

My brother and his wife were in town and chose to spend Easter with us!! Even though they start a new semester of school today, they postponed going back to Idaho to be with us. It was awesome to have company over. I hadn't expected much out of my Easter because of finals, but this was a great excuse to take a break. 

Apparently I only remember to take pictures when people are playing ping pong or pool. No other times. Even though we did an easter egg hunt, had two picture-worthy meals together, and went to church, this is all I've got. (However, it was a pretty epic game of pool. The white ball hovered on the edge of the pockets several times throughout the game.)

 New Recipe: Bird's Nests 

1 c peanut butter

1 bag butterscotch chips

3 cups chow mein noodles

mini cadbury eggs* 

Melt peanut butter and butterscotch chips in microwave until smooth. 

Mix in chow mein noodles, form into nest-like structures. 

Add "eggs" and refrigerate. 

Ta-da!

*(or other egg shaped candies, but why would you want anything other than cadbury eggs?)

Easter Egg Decorating:

 I have to say, we outdid ourselves this year.

In case you can't tell what the eggs are: (going clockwise) 

Yoda, Batman, Mickey Mouse, Nemo, Despicable Me Minion, and Carolina Blue.

What are your favorite Easter traditions?

Rhetorically,
Rebekah
