Our church looked amazing Easter Sunday!
I used the landscape setting on my Droid in an attempt to capture the whole stage and altar.
But I forgot to change the setting back to portrait when I asked a fellow churchgoer to take this photo of my girls and me.
And it was still set to landscape when I took this photo of the sunset, which actually worked out quite well.
The cake I baked for Easter wasn’t homemade, natural, organic, gluten free, sugar free, or even low fat.
Shamefully, I used a box of Better Crocker yellow cake mix to form two 8 inch round cakes, two packages of yellow Peeps, two tubs of chocolate icing and a bag of milk chocolate chips to create this sunflower Peep cake . Nope, there was nothing healthy about it and it was damn good. In fact, it was so good that I ate a slice for lunch the next day.
After I finished this cake, my oldest daughter suggested I pipe on some green icing to make a stem and a leaf on the side of the cake which was such a cute idea, but I was too lazy to mess with icing and a piping bag. I’ll try that the next time I make this cute Peep cake.
Also, I think next time I make this cake, I’ll use white icing, white chocolate chips and pink or purple Peeps so the cake has a brighter springtime Easter flavor appearance.
Now link up and see what treats If I Could Escape and Gone Bananas are serving for this week’s Friday Food Fight.

In lieu of giving up something for my Lenten obligation, I decided to count my blessings. To do so, I made a list of 40 items (one for each day of Lent) to which I am grateful for and consider a blessing in my life.
Xmas Dolly randomly selected me for the spotlight dance for her Monday’s Music Moves Me blog hop today. With Easter rolling in next week, Jesus Christ Superstar is the perfect song to get everyone rocking.
Jesus Christ Superstar is one of my favorite rock operas because I have fond memories of my family and me watching it every Easter. It’s hard to believe that this production is 38 years old now, although the costumes might give away its age.
Thanks for linking up and rocking with me in the name of the Lord this week!
Remember to visit Amanda, Xmas Dolly and Hairbows & Guitar Picks for more Music Monday fun.
