Happy Easter

The above collage is of Isabel right after she woke up and got dressed and went downstairs to find the Easter eggs that the Easter Bunny hid in the living room. He left her Easter basket with some Easter socks, bubbles, coloring books, and stuffed bunny on the coffee table. She had 12 eggs to find. Inside the eggs were 2 jelly beans (6 of them) or 1 piece of chocolate (6 of them.) She found all eight rather easily. Next year, EB will have to step it up a bit on the hiding. She has gotten so much candy already from the hunt yesterday and we didn't want her eating it until Halloween, so there wasn't much for her basket. Daddy is bringing a bunch from the hunt to work and the leftover bags from our stuff as well. Her hair is a mess because we didn't comb it yet in the collage picture.


Here is Isabel in her Easter dress and hairpiece that grandma made for her. It actually has a second layer that goes over the top, kinda like a fancy apron. But it's white and we haven't gotten around to putting it on her yet. Grandma also made a matching dress for one of Isabel's dolls and we put that on the doll already.

For lunch, we had over our friends Lori, John & Rachael for an Easter lunch together. It was a very nice time and very good food, if I may say so. We have lots of leftovers....I know what is for supper. I think my favorites of everything I made was the parslied potatoes and the ginger carrot cake (this recipe was in a recent Better Homes & Garden magazine.)
