So...how was YOUR Easter!

First off, I want to apologize for my extended absence over the weekend. The holiday got a bit busy and I didn't see much in the way of my computer screen. Sometimes, that is a good thing, though...a nice break! BUT, I am back and excited to share a few things with you!!!

First of all, I have a winner for the Nikoart giveaway! Thanks for the awesome response! The winner is:

TINTEL!!!!

Second, I have an AMAZING giveaway to post and I am so excited about it! I will be posting that either later today or perhaps tomorrow, but here is a sneak! I can't even tell you how awesome this is!!!

Now, onto the photos! Yup! I've got tons! This is an EXTREMELY photo-heavy post, so be aware it may take more time than usual to load.

Yes, those are the dictionary definitions of the two. However, when you take those words and combine them you get a great time with your family at your parents house! Mom made a wonderful Easter dinner (ham, potatoes, beans, fruit, cupcakes, you know...all the GOOD stuff!) and made for a fun and relaxing afternoon together after Church.






































My Sister got this shot and I think it is quickly becoming one of my favorites EVER!









SO! That's what our wonderful Easter at my parents house looked like! Do you EVEN see all those smiles? It was a good day. Gotta love the fam! Plus...look at how cute that pic of my Mom is! LOVE THAT!

Did you post photos of your Easter? I'd love to see them! Let me know!
