Easter Cupcakes

Last week, my roommate Alex made this delicious cake in the spirit of Easter.  It tasted like Easter - full of light and life and...coconuts.  It was delightful.

It inspired us to make cupcakes with the Burnett girls while they were here this weekend.

First we (Ashley) baked some cupcakes.

Then we (Ashley) frosted some cupcakes.

Then we (Ashley and Ashlyn and Kelly and Kaylee (try saying all those names 4 times fast)) dusted the cupcakes with coconut Easter grass.  It lasted about 30 seconds before we (Kaylee and Ashlyn) got bored.

Then we (Kelly) borrowed some of Ashlyn's Easter candy to decorate the cupcakes.  We (Kelly) were  promptly told that the candy was not brought for that purpose.

Despite the cupcakes not being that big of a hit, we managed to find other ways to have fun.  Like watching Anastasia for the fifth time, fighting to the death in chess and checkers, playing with the Rapunzel doll, coloring, going for walks and picking flowers and taking pictures, and smelling pretty Easter bouquets which I must say are the absolute best gift anyone could ever give on Easter (thanks Russ and Anne!).

We (Ashlyn) also had fun hiding behind furniture...

while trying to chew 3/4 of the entire bubble tape we (Ashlyn) shoved in our mouth while no one was looking...

Sidenote: has anyone ever noticed how dusty bubble tape is?

By the time the day was done, we (Kaylee) were pretty tired and we (Ashley) were ready for a nap.

Happy Easter!
