The refrain "He is risen! He is risen indeed!" rings with more truth than a thousand such snapshots could ever contain, but here, quickly, are the pictures from our Easter celebration.
From the middle of the night: Surprise eggs!
A filthy kitchen, finally clean!
At breakfast: the usual cinnamon rolls, chocolate bunny pops, surprise eggs, and jelly beans. Complete. Balanced. Nutritious. Best enjoyed while wearing curlers.
We had only three guests this year, which made it easy to be a bit ridiculous and cut out a dozen paper rabbits for placecards
...plus one chick for Luci.
The wheat grass made for a perfect and simple centerpiece and pulled together our haphazard, rummage sale collection of dinnerware.
It made the rabbits happy, too; by the day's end, they were all hidden inside of it.
Here are pictures I took for buildabelly, so someday you can look for these recipes.
Bright lemon cheesecake
with raspberry sauce.
My favorite carrot cake
with candied carrot curls.
It's even better two days later...

who will also slice the spiced ham for you.
a Mopsy who will grin cheerfully by the table,
and a father who will comment positively on your overabundance of stuff on the walls.
:-) Your words always make me laugh. Your fathers' antics do too.
ReplyDeleteAnd those two-tone chocolate eggs are so neat!
That's one of the things I miss so much about Dad. He always took note of and appreciated the little touches of decorating or table presentation. Much as I love her, my Mom doesn't notice them as much, because that's just not one of her interests! :)
