ReplyDeleteI knew I made Easter Cupcakes for a reason!!
Very interesting! Although we do teach our kiddos the true meaning of Easter, we are also guilty of doing the egg hunts, baskets, and goodies. :)
ReplyDeleteVery interesting!! I think chocolate when I think of Easter.
ReplyDeleteI definitely think of the Easter Bunny and Easter Egg Hunts when I think of Easter.
ReplyDeleteI am amazed the amount of people that don't know when Easter is.. I swear at least 5 people said to me this week "What do you mean it's almost Easter". DUH!! I'm the one who cooks so they just need the reminder the day before .. lol
AHHH that is great. Happy Easter. So lesson learned this Easter is BUY PEEPS EARLY. THEY SELL OUT EVERYWHERE. It was so funny to see all the people just like me looking for Peeps last minute. Never do that again. LOL Have a wonderful week.
