Happy Easter/Happy Birthday Granddad Weekend

Jack and Madison Easter morning with the basket of goodies the Easter bunny left them.


Nothing like an Easter egg hunt in 30 degree weather.

On Easter morning we headed up to the mountains to spend a few days with Nana and Granddad. We were celebrated Easter and Granddads birthday. We had a great time with birthday parties, easter egg hunts and spending time with all our family.

Bacon Wrapped Chicken

This is a recipe I recently found and it is very good. Also, can prepare and freeze for another day.

6 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 carton of creamed cheese with onion and chives
1 tablespoon butter, cupped
salt to taste
6 bacon strips

Flatten chicken to 1/2 thickness (or like me, buy a pack that is already flatten) Spread 3 tsp cream cheese over each.

Dot with butter and sprinkle with salt. roll up and wrap each piece with a bacon strip. place seam side down in a baking pan. Bake uncovered at 400 for about 35 - 40 minutes or until juices run clear. Broil 6 " from heat for 5 minutes or until bacon is crisp.

Bunny Time

I took Madison and Jack to see the Easter Bunny this past Saturday morning. Madison was so excited and had been talking about getting her picture taken with him for days, but when we got there she was scared to get near him and all she could do was wave. So we shopped, talked and thought about the picture with the Easter bunny for an hour or so and she decided she did want to get her picture taken with him. So we went back to see him and she was still a little scared to get near him, but finally did and this is the picture we got. Jack on the other hand would not have anything to do with him, would not even look at him, let alone have his picture taken with him. We'll try again next year.

Better Late Than Never

I don't know how Madison did it, but she managed to get Jack to put on his Monkey costume I bought him at Halloween. He laid perfectly still while she zipped it up and then smiled. When I tried to put it on him at Halloween (to go with Madison's Dora costume) he would not have it. He screamed the whole time, so he went as himself to the Fall Festival at Church.
