This has been a busy weekend but I'll keep it short and sweet with only a few pictures. Easter weekend is my favorite when....the following week is spring break and General Conference is on Easter Sunday!
The weather held out for the egg hunt with the grandkids.
K.J.'s "basket" was so heavy that Grandpa followed her around with the hand truck! (Some kids get all the breaks)

Later that night, I joined some real live blogging buddies in real life! Ann, from An Old Fashioned Girl; Heather, from Field of Heather; Sandra, from In This Small House; and Cherie, from Bakow Babble! We visited for hours and it felt like we had known each other for years!

We're all checking to make sure the pictures turned out to our liking. This one is especially flattering of me so why not post it?

We woke up to 6 inches of snow on Easter morning! It's a good thing we had our outdoor activities the day before!

I made this yummy breakfast casserole to counteract the amount of chocolate I had eaten the past few days! I don't think it worked.
Maple Sausage Casserole
1 package maple flavored sausage - browned
2 cups peeled and chopped golden delicious apples
6 cups cubed bread
2 Tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
10 eggs - slightly beaten
3 cups milk
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 tsp. salt
Spray 9 x 13 pan
Place half of the bread crumbs in bottom of pan. Add half the cooked sausage. Mix apples with sugar and cinnamon. Place half of the apples over sausage. Sprinkle half of grated cheese over apples. Repeat layers. Mix eggs with milk, vanilla and salt. Pour over top of layers. Bake 325 degrees for 55 to 60 minutes or until set. It can be prepared the night before and kept in the refrigerator until ready to bake.
This has a slightly sweet flavor with the apples.

Relaxing, while watching General Conference, was the perfect ending of this fabulous weekend!

OMGosh, this looks and sounds so so good. i am having 2 couples spending the night with us this weekend and this will be PERFECT to serve for breakfast on Sat. morning. Maybe with some fresh fruit and scrambled, cheesy eggs.
Thanks so much for the recipe.
