Easter 2010
I can't believe we've been through two Christmas' with Margaret and now two Easters! Time is truly going by way too fast. This year we got to have some fun with the little lady (last year we dressed her up in a bunny 'costume' and played with her in her swing while we ate and relaxed. Not this year!) This year we were full-tilt Easter holiday extravaganza!
We started off the morning with a bagel, lox and mimosas for breakfast. After that we made tye-dyed eggs for M to hunt down later. The adults munched on lemon tea cookies and soladad goat cheese while Margaret napped. After nap, we started the hunt! Margaret was new to this game but caught on very quickly! The Easter bunny surprised her with an Elmo doll (quick story: M's watched Sesame Street maybe five times but loves Elmo. Last Thursday morning, Matthew and M were playing with his iPhone and Matthew decided to find a Sesame Street clip on YouTube for her to watch. He wrote in the search bar e-l-m-o. Margaret pointed to it and started yelling "Elmo, Elmo!"...we, of course, were completely shocked and impressed...did our little 16 month old actually read? Well, we knew we had to reward such a feat and give her an Elmo doll...uh, told the Easter bunny to give her an Elmo doll...yeah, that's right!) Anyhoo, she found the Elmo doll and the Elmo organic treats right away. Such fun!
Laci made deviled eggs out of the eggs we hunted in the yard and Lori began the Easter feast! Rosemary pork roast, tomato and persian cucumber salad with a dill vinagarette, and purple yams! Soooo delicious! M had a special Easter treat too! M dined on fruit pasta with yogurt and strawberry sauce. The adults found this delicious...M, not so much (she's like her mom, bitter, sour and salty over sweet any day!)...but it was really special.
After we put Lady M to bed, the adults had Lori's chocolate souffles...DIVINE!!! For a sick lady, Lori sure doesn't let that thwart her from pulling out the stops in the kitchen!
So very thankful and grateful for my incredible family. We have such good times and are making so many memories! Happy Easter!
