Easter Parade



Wooly sheep are ready to do the bunny hop.  Do you prefer swirls or pearl sprinkles?

This little guy is hopping through the flower beds and leavng a very sweet footprint behind.

Girl bunny puzzles are off to join Kendra and Kylie.  Who wouldn't love that face?

Boy bunny puzzles were mailed to Ben and Jack.  Jack assembled.  Ben gobbled.

Bunnies are lined up for the holiday show and ready to kick up some fun.

The gang's all here.  Have an egg-cellent Easter!

Chicks Just Wanna Have Fun

I have so many Easter cookie cutters that I need to store them in one of my larger containers, and yet one of my favorite designs is the simple oval done as a little chick popping out of an egg.

It is simplicity at its best.  It makes me smile.  Isn't that what decorated sugar cookies are suppose to do? 

I added a few "Peeps" to the colorful collection and hopefully have a set of cookies that will make the grandkids smile.

Grandpa's Carrots

I've been decorating cookies for approximately three years. 
My husband has occasionally joked, "Want my help? or Which ones do you want me to frost?" 

I know my father-in-law was known to frost a few rabbits over the years when Grandma Carroll was running short on time before a holiday.  Perhaps my hubby wanted to follow in his father's footsteps.  Perhaps I subconsciously used Tom Sawyer trickery (persuading friends that painting the white picket fence was SO much fun).

This time when he offered to ice the carrots, I handed him the RI bottle.  After all, there is very little that can be done wrong with a carrot!  He did finish all of the greenery and knew that he should let it dry before continuing with the orange. 

When enough time passed, I called him back to the table and handed him the orange RI.  He diligently worked on six of them and decided it was time to go to bed.  (He has the same attention span as the grandkids.)

I packed up all of the cookies and put them away early in the morning.  He later asked if I took pictures.  He honestly looked disappointed when I told him that I had forgotten, so I unpacked some of the cookies and took a photo of "Gregg's first cookies".

So, Kendra, Kylie, Jack, and Ben, be sure to reach for the carrot cookies first and "oooh" and "ahhhh" at how cute they are . . . just for Grandpa!
