Easter

We had a wonderful Easter!
We had an amazing Easter Brunch with my family & Max got to hunt for eggs all around the house! He was really into it & it was so cute to watch him.
He just LOVES going to Grandpa & Grandma's house! He gets to play with new toys & best of all he gets to play "doodly-do" with Grandma :)
Brunch was so amazing, I had to post the pics & recipes:

Bake in preheated oven for 40 minutes, or until beginning to brown. 3. In a small bowl, combine ham, onion and shredded cheese. In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, pepper, and a little seasoning salt. When crust is ready, spread ham mixture on the bottom, then cover with egg mixture.
