A few pictures of Easter Egg hunt with the girls

Derek, Miranda and the girls come to visit for Easter and dinner.  I didn't take a picture of dinner.  I should have but always so busy at that time that I do not think about it.   We had ham, potato salad, macaroni salad, snap beans, cabbage, mashed potatoes and gravy, homemade rolls and macaroni and cheese.   I send as much as I can home and then freeze the rest if we can't eat it.  I like sending most of it home though.
Taking the bunnies down from the fireplace today.

I cut  these from some left over colored paper and cotton ball tail

Forgot to mention dessert was carrot cake and strawberry pie plus this flour-less chocolate cake with ganache.  That along with the carrot cake I freeze in case I need it for a quick desert.

We hid about 50 eggs.





They both had a good time



A quick video I recorded of their hunt

Hello! !
Celebrate this Easter with a heart filled with peace, joy and cheer! Have a happy Easter!
I am always impressed with a nice message.
In this season, Japan is stained with cherry color.
It is a very favorite season for Japanese people.
Sakura in Washington DC is also a present from Japan.
I am enjoying 70 kilometers on a road bike in cherry blossoms.
Ryoma.

Oh, I want to come to your house for Easter dinner...SO much food, I'm sure you needed me to help eat it!
Seriously, I am impressed all to bits. I know that I could make meals like that, and decorate, and all good things...but of course "all good things must come to an end" and so they have...I'm old now, with sore hands that won't do what I ask of them. Therefore, I'm thrilled to be able to see celebrations such as yours, with cottontailed Easter Bunnies on the fireplace, and grandchildren looking for eggs! Absolutely delightful.
And I hope you're enjoying a well-deserved rest (for "the rest of the week")!

Dearest Betsy,
Oh such a joy for the little ones and I see that your lawn remains green throughout the seasons; perfect backdrop for photos.
Here it now has turned from ugly brown to green as well but our centipede grass, the only one that survives the hot summers, dies completely in winter. So dreary looking...
Hugs,
Mariette
