We kind of forgot about Easter this year until the very day before. But it didn't stop us from having a great time. Ben's sister Zina (18) is going to be living with us for the next few months. She just graduated from Cosmetology school and is here in Idaho to work and to have an adventure. She moved up from Salt Lake this weekend and Ben's mom, dad and two other sisters came up to help her get settled. They helped make our easter fun! We did the traditional coloring of eggs, etc. But, I would have to say that the big hit was the "Bunny Racer's" we made. Fo future reference....Use a Hostess HoHo for the base of the car, Spree candies for the wheels and headlights, Life Savers for the steering wheel and Peach Gummie candies for the seat back. Cut the bottom off of a peep to use for the driver and attach everything with frosting. Now, here is an interesting fact... I don't really like Peeps at all. In fact, until now I have really only seen them useful as an entertainment device when you heat them up in the microwave for a few seconds and watch them expand. However, although they taste disgusting all by themselves, we discovered this weekend that when topped with homemade cream cheese frosting they turn into gourmet delights. Just food for thought...
