Easter really snuck up on me this year! Not only was it earlier this year, but it was also right in the middle of a lot of testing and not feeling well. That didn’t stop the celebration and good times though!
We had our traditional 2 dinners, with Easter Eve being spent at my family and Easter day with my husband’s family. My parents are always so fun and cute, they hide eggs for us to hunt and spoil us with Easter baskets. On Easter Eve we picked up KFC for dinner (what a treat), and on Sunday with my husband’s family it was a traditional meal with ham and special bunny rolls that my sister in law makes.
This adorable bunny topiary (from Pier 1) and one other bunny was about all the decorating that happened this year. Easter is one of my favorite holidays, I sure hope we get to do a lot more celebrating for it next year!
This winter has been crazy, with some VERY cold days, and some VERY warm days, and overall it has been very mild. Not much snow to speak of, and when it did snow it would melt away quickly. Spring came early.
Saint Patrick’s Day was rainy and gloomy, which was kind of perfect because it felt like what I imagine Ireland to be like at times. We celebrated with corned beef and hash (just the hash for me), green protein shakes, and of course some fun gold coin chocolates! Not to mention really fun shamrock straws for rootbeer floats. We also made Irish soda bread (we like this recipe from Allrecipes.com), but this year we left out the raisins since I don’t like them.
And then came the snow, overnight even! About 4 inches in our yard, but over 37 inches at the nearest ski resort. This weekend it is supposed to get up to the 70F mark. I hope that’s true, not only do I have a lot of things to do in the garden, but it is also the Festival of Colors (Holi), which I have always wanted to attend.
What has it been like in your part of the world?
Confession time. This photo was taken from the potty. Yes friends, this is “the look”. She doesn’t like to be put on the floor, even when nature calls.
Happy Pi Day! There is a chocolate pudding pie chilling in the fridge right now for our Pi Day celebrations. Who knew math could be so much fun?
