Easter!

Only a week behind now.... and lots happens in a week! phew. Well, Easter at Linda's house this year was so fun... Linda always does a great job decorating and hosting. Brett was determined to make the lamb that the chef at his hotel made the week before... and he did a pretty good job! I ordered a cake from Jill Shinn, one of the moms at Penelope's school who is a professional baker. Oh it was good! Uncle Jeffrey helped the girls decorate cookies and the girls enjoyed their baskets o' goodies! Fun times! Enjoy! Many many pictures this time.... click on any for a larger view!

Millie Jane and her baby. All of her babies are named "Nallie" or something like that. It's not her version of "Millie" since she refers to herself as MIMI. I like this little series of shots... Millie is such a doll herself.



Penelope working on some picture. Look at Brett.... love the shirt from H&M! You go, hot daddy!

A kiss for my cutie

Nana Linda works happily on the Easter meal. She's such a great hostess....

Grandpa Neil and Uncle Jeffrey show up with the Easter goods....



What is Easter without PEEEPS???

The girls and Uncle Jeffrey worked hard on their cookie creations. . . thanks to Babcia for this fun activity (and resulting sugar high)




One of the moms at Penelope's school is a baker--she made me this unbelievable ginger cake with rolled fondont-- my favorite! It was such a gorgeous creation we hardly wanted to eat it, but of course we did!


Dinner and basket opening was a highlight of the day--I love this holiday, not only for the religious implications, but because it is such a family-oriented one, without all the trappings and stress of Christmas.
