Easter weekend recap - Part 1

Q's second Easter was much more memorable (for us, at least).  She likes candy, especially M & Ms.  She's not a fan of Peeps, which makes me very sad.  I'll give her some time. 

We all had Friday off, so we had some friends over and had a massive outdoor egg hunt.  Q is quite the egg finder and really had a great time running around.  Only a couple of elbows were thrown.  We filled the eggs with Bunny Grahams, grapes, and bunny marshmallows - yes, we are those parents!  We tried to keep the sugar to a minimum, although we did let her eat all of her Easter basket M&Ms Sunday - needless to say, naptime wasn't easy for her on that sugar high!

Easter egg hunt fun with Molly!

 

 

 

 

After the egg hunt, we dyed some eggs inside and then got to work on dinner.  I decided that it would be best (i.e., easiest and most fun) to let everyone make their own kabobs.  I marinated the beef overnight in this, but used orange juice instead of pineapple juice.  We also had pineapple, mushrooms (marinated in the same marinade separately), peppers, yellow grape tomatoes, and onions.  To keep with the Asian theme, I made Asian roasted broccoli.  We also had a bagged kale salad from Kroger.

Dessert was equally as awesome.  Sallie made some to-die for chocolate chocolate chip cookies (which were all gone by Saturday AM), and I made this dessert again!  Super easy; super delicious!!!
