Happy Easter!

I hope that everyone had a special Easter. Here are a few ways that we celebrated....

Every year, on the Saturday before Easter, my mom holds an Easter party for all of the Granddaughters. (She has no grandsons.) This year, they made Easter bonnets. Livy's had crape paper straps to tie it on, but she ripped them off quicker then what we could take a picture.
Afterwards we took the children on an Easter Egg hunt. It used to be the kind where the plastic, candy filled eggs were hidden in various places. A few years ago to shake things up the egg hunt became more of a treasure hunt. This years "baskets" were the cute denim bags.

Tried to do a mini egg hunt outside, but Livy was totally not interested.

A fantastic Easter dinner. We had a delicious ham, mashed potatoes, deviled eggs, steamed fresh green beans, hot rolls and a homemade sparkling cider. Thanks to Ginger for the recipe. (Next time I will use Ginger Ale instead of Sprite). To make, take the frozen concentrate apple juice; we used Apple Cherry. Instead of mixing with water, mix with Sprite or Ginger Ale.

For dessert, Angel Lush with Pineapple! It was delicious! Find the recipe here.
