Easter Evening

The Doherty clan met Easter evening for a wonderful dinner.  The boys enjoyed playing with their cousins, and I had a fun time preparing food goodies for the occasion.  I made an assortment of cute deviled eggs, a layered "egg" cake, and a yummy orzo pasta salad with roasted veggies!

We also celebrated our nephew's birthday...Happy Birthday Bradley!!

Easter Morning

Easter is my favorite holiday, because we celebrate Jesus conquering sin and death, and rising from the grave!  It is the most joyous of holidays for the Christian.  It truly is a celebration, and I love to make it special for my boys.  Here is a quick recap of Easter morning in the Doherty house, and some pics we took all gussied up for church...

Easter Decor and Fun Stuff

I love decorating for the Seasons/Holidays!  I was especially giddy to decorate for Easter this year, given all the fun ideas and printables I keep finding on Pinterest.  Here is a quick look at some of my Easter/Spring Decor...

Printables...

Matthew colored eggs over at Grandma's house this year, and he was so proud to show me his work!

I also quickly made "Bird's Nests" with the boys this year as well as a fun treat...

Tulip Pics '12

Well, I didn't get the best Tulip pics this year.  They were taken in haste, after we got back from our trip to GA. Also, man did the tulips ever bloom early this year!  It was such a mild and warm March, they were up and fully bloomed by the end of month (They usually don't bloom until mid April!).  However, the boys cuteness maked up for my lack of photography skills...;)

Mini Spring Break

We had a great "long weekend" at the end of March/beginning of April visiting my family in GA.  I would call it a "mini" spring break if you will.  We arrived on my Mom's birthday, and the entire family went out to celebrate at Glen Ella Inn...

Here are a couple pics of "Grammy" with all four of her grandkids...

Happy Birthday Mom!!

We took a little hike up to Minihaha Falls...so fun and beautiful!
