St. Patricks Day Cookies for FHE



I have started really enjoy cooking. Especially baking sweets. so I volunteered to make cookies with a friend. What I didn't know is that my sister-in-laws batch makes that much dough. We baked alot of cookies. close to 50, but they were delicious. This was my friend Kate's frist time making sugar cookies. It was fun.

Easter Tradition

My family has many traditions. I could go on about several of them. Easter is a favorite. Everyone is always involved. Down to the meals we eat, or the easter egg hunt we have. We all have a blast. I have no idea when it started or why, but I would say close to 20 years (You can post if I am wrong on that) we have had an Easter egg hunt with plastic eggs that have money coins. Sometimes 20 dollars in them or sometimes two pennies. This year everyone was here on April 12Th. my younger brother and parents hid close to 150 eggs around our neighbors yard and ours for neices and nephews to find. Of course that required help from parents. There were two eggs with 20 dollars in them. They stumped even the adults. Adam found one egg with a twenty and Nathan the other. We also frosted sugar cookies and sang Happy Birthday to mom with cupcakes Stacy and Brandon made. Overall it was fantastic. We also had a big dinner. Top it off with some Guitar Hero for some competition and call it great!
