It's Easter, and besides being able to spend the day with my family {even if it means watching 300 and 10,000BC}.  The best news is, that my cousin, who has been fighting for our freedom in Afghanistan for almost a year IS ON THE WAY HOME!!!

I didn't make these cookies, but I think they're the perfect way to say Happy Easter, Texas style!


The same talented lady, Margarita Fuentes, also made these cuties!  I LOVE them!


Here are our Easter Cookies...
Oh yes, and the ones I attempted to make with only 20-second icing...I had to break down and make a bag of white for piping =)


and these, inspired by an Easter buniting I saw on a craft site =)


Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead

1 Peter 1:3

We are saved because HE is risen!
