Better Late Than Never (Easter)

Egg hunt #1 at J's house...low-key fun


Egg Hunt #3
A free event put on by a local church...our first (and probably last) time there...chaos reigned


Easter Dinner


Lamb Chops, Fresh Aspargus, Whole Wheat Rolls and Potatoes & Carrots
and
Deep Dark Chocolate Cake for dessert


Believe me when I say that this is the best "All dressed up for Easter Sunday" shot that we got


This year we tried something new. Saturday morning Sage woke up to gifts (a board game, a Magic Tree House book and some treats). She hunted for eggs and then we had a delicious Easter breakfast of Puffed Pancake with Strawberries. Later in the day Sage and I baked up rolls and chocolate cake. We enjoyed our Easter dinner that night and we were done. Come Sunday we had nothing to do all day but teach Sage about the true meaning of Easter.

And polish off that chocolate cake.

yeah, we tried an egg hunt in the park last year and we left before the chaos started. we just keep it simple and do it in our living room...that way it limits the eggs and candy inside. the kids don't know differently so they aren't upset that they don't have more. i never imagined how domestic you are...i definitely admire that about you!

Alicia you look so beautiful! Your Easter dinner sounds so good and your table looks so nice. It sounds like such a peaceful Easter. Ours was nice but we had too much commercialism. But that's what happens when we get together with Jason's family and our kids are the only grandkids...everyone wants to spoil them.
Take care!
