This Easter we hosted breakfast for my parents and mother-in-law at our house. I have to say I think I did a pretty good job if I do say so myself. I made waffles, country style potatoes, bacon, sausages and scrabble eggs. The adults had mimosas and the baby had plain old OJ. Everyone loved how everything turned out so that makes me one happy camper.
Now since my daughter is the only grandchild right now (still trying to convince the hubby for one more) Easter was like Christmas all over again. I know I went a little crazy this year (yes there was two baskets) but then she got a big basket from my parents and one from my MIL. She loved every second of it and I think that's what makes it worth going over the top. I remember my mom going all out for my brother and I on every holiday and I want to do that for her.

I started a new tradition that I saw on pinterest (love that site!). We planted magic jelly beans the night before Easter so we can get a surprise the next morning. Now this only happens the night before Easter. So on Easter morning we woke up and went outside and our magic jelly beans turned into lollipops. Mila was so excited and loved it. The funny part was she actually didn't like the lollipops that much but she loved pulling them out of the planter lol

We also had an Easter egg hunt at our house. We had to show her what was in the eggs to get her going. Once she saw that there was candy you couldn't stop her. It was fun watching the grandparents get into the fun with her also. She is one lucky girl that has so many people in her life that just love and care for her.
Later that afternoon we went to my husband's side of the family. It's always a good time with them. It was fun seeing all her cousins do the egg hunt and run around looking where we hid them all. With my husband's family us adults love doing the confetti eggs. That's the fun part the adults get to partake in. So everyone is running around smashing them on each other heads (I got the two new girlfriends). It's fun to see the shock on people's face when it happens to them.

By the end of the night Mila was candy crazy lol So we know she had a good day. I'm so happy that we have such a great family and fun traditions to pass down to our daughter. I hope everyone had a great Easter. I know I did :)
