We had a wonderful Easter this year. As our tradition goes, Hannah and Elisabeth set their Easter baskets at the foot of their beds before they went to sleep. And on Easter morning they woke up and knew the Easter bunny had been to our house because there were no baskets on their beds! That silly bunny hid Hannah's basket behind the rocking chair in the living room. Elisabeth's basket was hidden in the coffee table. Daddy's was in the coat closet and Mommy's was behind the trash can! Here is a picture of Hannah on her hunt for her basket!
Wow look at all the stuff the Easter bunny brought! Isn't Elisabeth's hair funny? She had piggies in the day before!
We were thrilled to be able to host Easter dinner at our house this year, especially because we were able to have both of our families together! Here is a picture of the table settings. Didn't it look pretty? I had to borrow something from almost everyone who came just to put it together. Hopefully I'll be able to acquire my own dishes, napkin holders, silverware and pretty table cloths for future holiday gatherings!
These roses are from our garden. I love our rose garden, its doing so well this year and the roses are so fragrant! I really try to "stop and smell the roses" now and then.
Here is a picture of me with my very first Jell-O mold. Its a recipe of my late Grandma Dot. I didn't think it tasted as good as when Grandma Dot made it. I figured out it was because she never put coconut in hers. I'll have to leave it out next time. When Dan took this picture my sister in law jokingly asked if they were going to see the picture on my blog...here it is! hee hee
