Easter Sunday

I really loved Easter this year. The weather was nice (though volatile) and doing all the prep work for Easter dinner on Saturday made for a very enjoyable Sunday. Plus, we were able to enjoy it with family, which always makes for a good time.

The kids, all ready for church.
After church: Forrest grilling up the kabobs. We did marinated lamb and farmer's market vegetable.
Pretty Aunt Vera and two lovely ladies, Ashlee and Lily.

The dessert table: Coconut cream cake (turned out delicious,) Vera's wonderful strawberry chiffon pie, and homemade creamy vanilla ice-cream in my new Cuisinart ice-cream maker.
Cute baby Lea who is almost 8 months and growing too fast.
Of course Ashlee had to crochet the cousins some hats while they were here.
Rachel loved walking around, mingling and getting attention.
Grandma Nancy about to fall asleep in her corner of the couch after the feast.
And two of the brothers, Forrest and Tommy.
Everyone pitched in to clean up dishes, disassemble the table, and get the house back in order, and after the kids were in bed the adults stayed up for a game of Scrabble, of which Forrest was the champion. It was an all-around enjoyable weekend.
