Easter Fun, a Winner and a Gala!

UPDATE TO THIS POST:   I totally thought I had posted about my friend Amanda's Giveaway Gala earlier today but I guess I was wrong.  You can scroll down to the bottom of this post for more details!!!

I am SUPER behind in posting today since I had lots going on this morning, but I'm finally home and wanted to get to posting before this day is over.  Seems like time is flying by so fast lately!  I have lots to talk about  today, so sorry if I skip around a bunch!

This morning I woke up with cramps and contractions and I got to thinking about if today might be "the day."  I got us girls ready and headed out to take the girls to Grandma's so they could hang out with her while I went to my Dr's appointment.  The cramps kept coming until I got to the doctor's office and then stopped!  It was kind of a relief because as much as I'd like to meet my girl right about now, I just kept thinking that it would be nice to have a little more time to get caught up on laundry, make a few meals to freeze and do other things like clear out my camera's memory card! :)

While at my appointment, all went well.  All the treats are finally catching up with me because in just the last week, I gained three pounds!!!  I guess that makes up for the pound and a half I lost the week before!  I also got to see Alivia on ultrasound just for a quick bit so they could make sure the fluid levels looked okay, which they did!

Switching gears a bit...our Easter weekend was pretty low key.  On Saturday, the girls had a fun time coloring eggs with my sister and my niece.

On Saturday night, I got to making these super fun bunny cupcakes.  For some reason it made more sense to me at the time to make cupcakes instead of the bunny cake I originally wanted to make.  They turned out okay, but goodness gracious, they took forever to do.  I even told my Hubby that the next time I talk about wanting to do something this involved, please knock some sense into me!

I also decided to make the Spring Pizza on Sunday afternoon too!  This ended up being super fast and easy and it tasted yummy!

After the girls woke up from nap on Sunday, we went over to our neighbor's house and our kids did an egg hunt together in their back yard.  They had a lot of fun and ended up coming home with a humongous bag of candy!

And...since I promised I'd announce the winner of my giveaway from last week....I'd better get to that too!

Congrats to Steph from The Houston House!
