Pre-Easter Goodness


Happy almost Easter! Dottie has learned the trick of getting what she wants for holidays: discuss with the mystical creature associated with the holiday, and you'll get what you want. After she saw Santa 3 times at Christmas, I learned my lesson with the Easter Bunny. Only one visit. We saw another Easter Bunny after this visit, but I quickly steered Dottie the other direction. She was yelling that she wanted Dora slippers as we walked by.

Brendan and kids. For those of you who grew up with me in the Owego Stake, you'll know what a fun friend Brendan is. He and his family made the trek down to Towanda while he was visiting his parents for spring break. Good to see you, friend!


Towanda ward playgroup. The dear Primary president had the cutest idea: decorate cupcakes like the Easter Bunny.

Mmmm . . . gorging with artificial sweeteners is Elliot's fave.



And finally, Dottie has returned to K-4. The nice Towanda School District allowed her to sneak back for the few weeks we're here. Yesterday was her Easter party. I made cake pops after being inspired by a friend's version of the Cookie Monster. They were less than perfect. So if you're a cake pop expert, just look the other way. I'm trying to be domestic here. But if you're good at dipping things in chocolate (which I've discovered I'm not), try them out. They'll make your day. And your kids' too. Unless you decide to eat them all yourself. That's okay too.

And this is the party. Elliot, my mom, and I crashed it.

I attempted cake balls twice, and they are DANG hard! I'm impressed with how yours turned out.

I'm glad you and the kids are having fun in PA. I miss you all!
