Easter Treats

Well Easter is now here and gone and it was a beautiful day to spend with family and friends.  The day wasn't sunny which was part of what made it a great day as you were not thinking about all the yard work that needs to be done on those sunny spring days.  My sister put together a beautiful meal and some of her neighbours came and my BFF came along with family.  Unfortunately my Mom was not feeling very well but she did enjoy seeing Adelyn and yes everyone else.

I did get my three desserts made to take to my sister's which were a hit.  My daughter also made a scrumpcious fruit salad which I enjoyed the next day while I was babysitting.  I think the favorite dessert I made was the Coconut Cream Cake which I had never made before and changed the recipe a bit.  So now I have to figure out the revisions to the recipe to send everyone.   aaaaggghhhhh

Here we have NS Wild Blueberry Cream Cake.  Yummy

Coconut Cream Cake... very yummy

Lemon Cream Tarts with Raspberry & Blackberries... tasty little morsels

Here is my grandaughter Adelyn dancing away with her tutu on that I had made her for Easter.  It is amazing how little girls automatically know what to do with girly things.  LOL  I made a matching tutu for her wear on her dolls.  Too cute.

Here is Adelyn playing in the tunnel of her play tent which the Easter Bunny left for her.  It took quite a bit of rolling around the floor and wrestling with Adelyn, the dog and my camera to capture this picture.  It was quite a workout for these old Nanny bones.  :)

Here she is Easter Monday when I was babysitting, we decided to go out on the deck and get some fresh air and she was obsessed with the snow and then of course being the little minx that she is, she decided to test her Nanny to see if I would let her eat the snow.  Not, so we played a game of chase around the deck with Adelyn chortling away as she thought it was hilarious. 

Here she is modeling a little sundress I had made her for Easter which isn't a great picture as the child never stays still or if she sees the camera she comes running towards me as she wants to see all the pictures on my camera.  Am I little consumed by my grandaughter, yes, yes, yes!  But I mean what do you do when you get them up in the morning and they come out to the kitchen and immediately start dancing for you?  You swoon, that's what and then you start dancing with her like I did.  :)

I am having Adelyn from Friday to Monday this weekend... yipppeeee!  We will definitely have some fun, I have loads of new toys for her to play with so she will be quite busy and we may have to do some crafts and blow big bubbles outside.  Hhhhmmm, her mother may not want to go home..... but I will have lots of pics to share from our weekend to share with mommy and daddy as they still have separation anxiety.  LOL
