Bunny Lunch

Yesterday after bible study, I had the group of our mommy friends over for a Easter Bunny themed lunch! We shared some sweet fellowship, great conversations and of course, a Bunny Cake!
It all started with a bunny cake pan given to us last Easter. Lindsay found it when we put out our Easter decorations and so we decided to made the carrot cake with cream cheese frosting (yum!). She was so proud...It was tasty too!
 I have been addicted to Pinterest lately, and found a recipe for a Carrot Ginger Soup and a Strawberry Gorgonzola Salad that I have been excited to try. These food items would be classified into 'Chick Food" (foods that do not contain meat or have too many vegetables) so I thought it would be perfect for our ladies lunch, and I think the Easter Bunny would give his stamp of approval.
Kid-Friendly food... PB&J Bunny sandwiches with carrot sticks
 Sweet friends :) I am so grateful to be in our new place, which give me the space (although it was pretty crowded) to host parties and get together's, which anyone who knows me knows I love to do!
 New Mama Leslie and her sweet little gal, Mazzie, who was born 5 days after Madison. I think they will be great friends ;)
 Madison and Robert on their first date... I think Robert looks a little bored...LOL

 There were boys at our ladies lunch, (Robert 5 mo, Liam 10 mo, James 1 year).  This precious lump of little boy sugar is James, and he held his own in this sea of pink!

 We also made "Bunny Bait" a diabetic coma of M&M's, chex mix, popcorn, pretzels, sprinkles all coated in white chocolate.
Here are my sweet Easter Bunnies! *Lindsay is wearing a band-aid, but it is purely for sticker purposes :)
I love having our friends over, and it is such a joy to watch our kids play (or listen to them in the playroom) while us Mama's catch up. Being a stay-at-home mom is a blessing, but at times can get pretty lonely. It is wonderful to have these amazing christian moms in the same season of life to share ideas and swap advice with. Love you friends! Happy Easter!
