The Pounders: Easter

Gosh, I haven't been on my blogging game everyone! We've been battling colds, ear infections, allergies. Ugh. Everyone recovered in time for Easter though, thankfully! James is back to school now after Spring break so that frees me up, a little.

We kicked off Easter on Saturday. We made this super easy white chocolate and colored marshmallow Easter bark. The kids loved helping and taste testing. Saturday evening we dyed eggs. We ended up with a huge puddle of muddled egg dye, but the kids loved it. ;)

Sunday morning we did Easter baskets and an egg hunt. They did so well with the egg hunt this year. I decked out the back yard with eggs, plus we got them new bubbles , new toys for their water table, and new sand for their sandbox. They had a ball playing outside all day.

We had only a small group this year for Easter dinner. It was actually kind of nice to not have to cook for an army. But I did miss the rest of our family. Steven was in charge of the ham which is a tradition we started 3 years ago. He puts the ham on the rotisserie on the barbeque and tops it with a tasty glaze. He never writes down the recipe for the glaze, so it's different every year. This year it was a Dijon-Bourbon glaze and it was delicious!! I made French Onion Soup in the slow cooker, and Steven's favorite Broccoli Salad.
