Sixlets

I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter.  Dan and I certainly did.  It was a beautiful day where we were.  We spent some time outside enjoying the weather in the company of our family.  In fact, I probably spent a little too much time outside because Easter left me with sun-kissed skin and a pretty wicked farmer's tan.

Sunburns are typically not what comes to mind when I think about Easter.  One of the things that is on my Top Ten List of "Things That Come to Mind When I Think About Easter" is:

Easter candy, yes.  But more specifically:

SIXLETS!!!!

Growing up, the Easter Bunny was always sure to leave us Sixlets.  In fact, he still does!  I love these little things.  Chocolatey goodness, in a thin, crunchy candy shell.  You could eat them one by one, or do what I do and just pop the whole sleeve of 'em in your mouth at once.  I regret eating the three remaining sleeves you see above immediately after I shot this photo.  I think the Easter bunny was a little stingy with the Sixlets this year.  And judging by the rate at which I inhale them, that was probably a good thing!

In all seriousness, we had an awesome Easter weekend, complete with attending a wonderful church service, spending quality time with lots of family, coloring Easter eggs, and eating plenty of delicious food.

Here are a few pictures that highlight our Easter weekend:
