Easter 2013

My mom and Stefan were here for Easter and we had a great weekend. Mom and I made a huge easter dinner for everyone and it was a bit daunting! I've never really hosted a holiday before and I'm glad my mom was here to help me cook!

We made a huge ham, green bean casserole, biscuits, sweet potato with marshmallows, home made macaroni and cheese, pierogies, kielbasa and spinach salad. Whew!!! 

It was great to spend time with family and have an easter with Ryan in our own home. Amazing.

Our family tradition is an egg hunt with clues to find our basket. This year Stefan, Ryan and I worked together on a twenty egg hunt to get our baskets. Oooh chocolate, how I love thee!

We definitely overdid the food and had a ton leftover! Ryan came up with the idea of bringing plates to the guys on duty that were stuck on base. We ended up making ten plates if food and delivering them to guys on Geiger and Lejeune and it was so sweet. They were all so thankful and I'm glad Stefan came to see us do it and help. My husband is amazing for thinking of it and it totally warmed my heart. 

Hope you all had a happy easter!

  4. What a great idea to share the food with the guys working, I'm sure that simple act meant a lot to them!

  5. We started sharing food with the guys working in the first year or two we were married and it now it's one of our favorite parts of every holiday. It was the best feeling this Easter when my husband came home and told me that one of the guys working the holiday came and asked him if he was bringing food because the guy had worked Christmas and really enjoyed the plates we'd provided. :)
