Happy Easter!

I love this time of year, just starting to get cooler (I love the cold) and there's a string of long weekends on which to enjoy the beautiful weather. Where better to enjoy said weather than the beach! Fish and chips, flip-flops and soaking up the sun!

The family spent a very relaxing Easter long weekend at the beach and the weather was absolutely perfect (well, except for the last day, but by then there was a mountain of chocolate and sugar comas to occupy our time). The beach is with out a doubt one of my absolute favourite places. To celebrate my medium length break, I carted my cookie decorating tools up to the beach and decorated a cute batch of Easter cookies. I love decorating cookies and am in total awe of all the talented decorators out there! It's nice to have the time to try some different techniques and types of icing, and add a few little extra details. These were great practice and a delicious hit with our guests.

When we got home, we discovered the power had been tripped sometime over the weekend had been off for a while - long enough to lose all the food in both our fridge/freezers. grrrr. I refuse to let that ruin the whole weekend :).
