How was your Easter? We had so much fun!!! Every year we have a Easter egg hunt with all the fam! My husband hid the eggs for the teens and did such a good job. When a teenager tells you that it was the best hunt ever, you know you have accomplished something.

The hunt was the best but have I told you how good my kids can cook? I’m always amazed by what they bring and the presentation is amazing! It’s not just my daughters but my sons are so good! 

We had so much fun roasting hotdogs and the side dishes were out of this world. Zac brought Caesar salad on kabobs, Ben made deviled eggs, Jessica brought a beautiful fruit tray and veggie tray, and Cassie made blondie brownies. Since I know that they try to out do each other, I know I have to up my game as well.

I think this pie did the trick! It is so creamy and delicious that you don’t want to stop eating it.
