Ferdinand The Bull Movie Night

Happy Friday Peeps!! Its almost the weekend, keep pushing thru and we will be there!! Today I wanted to show  you our fun Ferdinand The Bull Movie night, a very cute movie the Easter Bunny dropped off:
The movie based on the best selling book is very cute. We did Mexican food with Uber Eats, Taylor loves the cheese dip so much, she got it in her hair! Her favorite!
I use this sombrero multiple times a year, I love it! Perfect for holding chips! We also pulled out a red cape since its about a bull.
People assumed since Ferdinand was a big bull he would love the fight, but not so! He was a gentle giant, assume nothing!
In the spirit of bull fighting here is Nicole in her red cape!
Over the weekend Daddy took the girls on a fun picnic, they loved it!!
I was also fortunate and got a new for me car!!
My sweet Aunt Judy purchased her dream car recently and wanted to pay it forward by giving my cousin Mindy her car and then Mindy gave me this is its awesome!!
I am incredibly blessed and so thankful for my sweet family XOXO

Easter Morning & Little Things Around The House

Hello Friends and Family! Its been a while since I checked in, but all is well! I took some time off work last week to celebrate Spring Break with the girls, it was a lot of fun and I will share our adventures soon! I wanted to tie up Easter (finally) with just a few pics from Easter morning.
Easter of course called for matching dresses! I really had a time this year cause the original order did not arrive in time, a risk you take when ordered from China. So I found a cute website called Sparkle In Pink.
And here we are!
All that ordering for this one pic, but it was worth it!!
Obviously Easter is not about matching dresses, the real reason is in this pic walking into church that morning XOXO
Since Nicole can't sit still she played in the nursery while we went to the contemporary service!
It was a great service and we even got a little nap after!
If you don't follow Anita Diaz on Instagram, you should cause she is awesome! I love her home and was inspired by her kitchen. She has a beautiful plant hanging next to her sink so I tried to recreate it under $10 from Ebay, I love the way it came out!
I also wanted to share a copy of the Newnan Times my cousin Shirley sent me, the food and dining section did a special on Bethel Baptist's cookbook. My Great Grandmother Annie Kee was a member of the church and her Old Fashioned Teacakes are featured, how cool is this?! I hung the paper up in our loft and now I need to get to making these teacakes!

Bunny Breakfast & Easter at Omma's

Saturday morning we had our bunny breakfast!!
The girls woke up to see what the Easter Bunny dropped off and they were excited! Some Peppa Pig and PJ Masks toys!
A big surprise egg with Captain Underpants the movie and Ferdinand the Bull!
Bunny Breakfast is ready!
I used my bunny cookie cutter for the pancakes and scrambled some eggs and some sausage! The Bunny ears came from Oriental Trading and the napkins and plates from Walmart.
After breakfast we headed to Omma and Poppie's to dye Easter eggs!
The kids played for a while we snacked on Omma's yummy guacamole dip!
Then we headed outside for the Easter egg hunt, here is Ryder in action!
Look at the sparkly pink egg Coco grabbed!!

After our egg hunt we enjoyed a yummy Easter dinner with all the classics, Honey Baked Ham, brown rice, green beans and Paula Deen's potatoes!
After all the yummy food, the girls wanted to do some You tube dancing, we had a fabulous Easter at Omma and Poppie's they made it so special!!
