We had a happy one for sure!  I love Easter…remembering the Savior, reverently going to church in new clothes and spring colors, looking for Easter baskets on Sunday morning, hunting for plastic eggs as often as chances allow, dying Easter eggs, eating yummy food.  It was fabulous!

We had a good time celebrating with friends on Saturday.  The kids dove in the pool to hunt for Easter eggs and our hostess made the MOST adorable cupcakes and shrimp boil.  Wow!  So fun…

 

 

The rest of Saturday was spent preparing for Sunday – dinner prep, table prep (using my great-grandmother's china and pink depression glass from my stepmom), ironing clothes, etc…that is until I stuffed myself at Gourmet Club (more on that tomorrow).

 

 

Sunday was spent at church and then enjoying my family here for dinner.  Nana, Grandma Kake, (we missed Steve who is still in San Diego on a trial), Michael, Olivia, (and their dog Elle), Mark, and Anne.  I made toasted spice and honey ham, mashed red potatoes with gorgonzola cheese, corn casserole (family favorite), roasted asparagus, and a lemon trifle (it looked pretty, but I probably wouldn't do it again).  Then the uncles/aunts hid eggs in the backyard for the littles.  Fun times with family…I love holidays!

A hunting we will go!

 

 

 

I was so proud when Samuel (of all people) spotted the highest and most out of reach egg, hidden by his Uncle Mike on the not-yet-a-zip-line-post.  Way to go, Sam!
