Easter Weekend with Mom

I never take enough pictures to actually show-off my weekends.

But this past weekend, my mom came down for Easter. We had fondue Friday night and then woke up around 11:00 on Saturday. That day was full of more food, looking at Lowes for grills, playing games, and dying Easter eggs.


In an effort to make a purple egg, we ended up making a crazy black egg. It turned to blue spotted as it dried.
The Sunday, we chilled and looked at bbq grill reviews. Shannon's birthday is this coming weekend, and Mom wanted to get him a gift. So, we were looking to get him a grill. We originally were considering this Char-Griller Duo but decided against it. Instead of spending 300$ on one grill that does charcoal and gas both at an average to below-average level, we decided to just get a better gas grill for less, and then invest in another charcoal grill later, if our little baby isn't good enough.

So we did some researching via Consumer Reports and watched some videos on fireboxes that melt down and delicious looking steaks. That was it, we decided to buy a Grill Master for 200$ and then get some steaks. And that made our Easter dinner! Steaks, potatoes, salad, and grilled veggies. Yummy.

No. Nice!


Happy Easter! My mom, Jayme, Nikki, Maria, and Matt ate Easter dinner with Shannon, Jenette, Chris, and I at Jenette and Chris's new house (that was a lot of names). We had amazing creamed corn. I like corn, but this is corn I really really like.

We also had a chilly Easter egg hunt where Nikki would get so excited and run and fall and run and fall and run to an egg. Then try to pick it up, but her little gloves made it too hard to pick up the first time. Then when she would finally get it, she would miss her little basket and have to try again.

The other neat thing is my mom and Jayme made the four of us (Shannon, Me, Jenette, and Chris) an all purple Easter basket. You can kinda tell in the picture how fun it is. But it is really neat. It has a bunch of purple candies and purple toys and I heard a rumor that the grass is edible in there. Hmm.
