Woo Hoo!! Wednesday

This Woo Hoo!! Wednesday is a special one for me. My family celebrated Easter the Saturday before so that all 45 could get together.  That's Aunts, uncles, cousins and  my cousins kids. I come from a large family and I love it.  Most of us live in Oregon but there's a few in Washington and Wisconsin and they were able to make it this year, Woo Hoo!!

Since there were so many of us this year we rented a place.  My aunt did a great job of springing up the place with bright table clothes and a simple center piece.

My mom Easter'd up the wood stove .

We all contributed with food. My mom getting into the Easter spirit and making colourful deviled eggs. How fun do those look laying on a bed of green coconut grass.

No family get together would be complete without dessert! 

I made, what else...Cupcakes! I loved the look of the tie dye cupcakes and the easiness of the recipe on Delightfully Dowling. 
I changed up the frosting though and used chocolate marshmallow Duncan Hines Frosting Creations and topped them with Cadbury Mini Eggs . 

This was truly a Woo Hoo!! Easter for my family. 

Easter Dinner

I know I'm disappointing my friend with this post. I sort of told her I would be posting about my Circus Animal cookie cupcakes today but... I changed my mind :) I'm bringing you a virtual Easter get-together instead.  Circus Animal cookie cupcakes to be posted on Monday.

This Sunday is Easter and I'll be celebrating on Saturday while my family is in town from Wisconsin.  They fly out on Easter. If I would have been planning WAY ahead like a good party diva does, I'd be having my step-kids over on Sunday for a dinner. However, I let Easter sneak up on me.

Peeps being my favorite Easter candy, the kids would be greeted at the door by a Peeps wreath. Tutorial found on Our Best Bites.

Everyone would have to wash up before dinner with the chocolate bunny soap. No calories :) Found on Bonbonbathhouse. 

I adore this place setting from StoneGable  The elegance of the table is not usually my style. I'm more of a casual place setter. But there's a part of me who longs to be an elegant table setter.

If only I had the talent to make amazing cookies like these found on Ali Bee's Bake Shop . I'm swooning over the cuteness of that bunny in the basket.

Do you have family in town for Easter? Having an egg hunt? Serving dinner?
I'd love to hear all about your Easter. So leave me a comment and tell me all about it.
