Happy Easter!

Easter felt a little more like Winter this year than Spring but we still had a great day celebrating with our family!  As we do every year, the boys spent some time the night before decorating some eggs.  We decided to keep it very simple and stick with the cheap dye tablets, but they still had fun!

The boys woke up and saw their Easter treats!  We love that the Easter Bunny thinks of mom and dad too and brings us a dark chocolate bunny and some truffles!

Charlie had to work for the morning so he was off and I left to start prep on all the yummy food.  I got the big ham in the oven and then started working on some housekeeping before our family arrived!  We had lots of yummy appetizers, Easter mojitos (made with marshmallow vodka and lemonade!), two kinds of ham (baked and spiral), a leg of lamb, spring peas in a bacon cream sauce, candied yams and mashed potatoes!  Everything was delicious per usual!

After our delicious meal, it was time for the annual egg hunt.  Unfortuantely because it was so wet out in the yard (and there was still quite a bit of snow!) we had to have the egg hunt indoors this year.

And no family event is complete without a family picture!

Happy Easter!
