On Saturday, there was limited interest in coloring eggs, but Little helped me set up the dye. Middle joined in, and wowed us with his egg-dying skills.
In the T&C House, the Easter Bunny not only hides eggs, he also hides the baskets. In fact, this year that was all he hid! He is pretty clever in his hiding places as Middle discovered.
After attending church for a wonderful time of worship, we returned home and were joined by a few family and friends for a traditional Southern Easter meal of ham, sweet potato souffle, deviled eggs, roasted asparagus, sweet and sour green beans,scratch macaroni and cheese, and Sister Schubert’s rolls. We washed it down with sweet tea, and then we brewed some coffee and indulged in homemade butter cream eggs.
After such a meal, some of us napped, but at all times we had a sentinel posted on the side porch, keeping an eye on these guys.
Orville, Wilbur, and Amelia—our feathered friendsThey’ve kept us entertained all spring, and we eagerly await first flight!
Hello:
ReplyDeleteYour Easter sounds to have been a delightful mix of family, friends, fun and delicious sounding food. We have enjoyed traditional Hungarian fare of home boiled ham, horseradish, and, of course, painted eggs but not, in our case, done with the sophistication of yours which really do look lovely.
Sounds like a wonderful Easter celebration. I love the idea of hiding the baskets too! Your birds tucked away in your porch are such a wonder...I look forward to sentinel stories :)

Sounds like a lovely day!! My poor youngest was the only one home so I'm afraid we didn't do a hunt but I did make two baskets - one for her and one for my husband who is a chocolate lover. Your meal sounds delicious - and your sweets plate looks extremely tempting!!
