Easter

Yet another holiday, and as is the habit of six-year-olds, Nimue was wound up and crazo. She left a carrot out for the Easter Bunny on Saturday night, and woke up bright and early on Sunday -- around 6 am, I heard her piercing voice say "Maybe I was so good, I got all this!" "All this" included a bunny that I crocheted for her in addition to the loot that the EB left for her, because she has been good.


After leisurely toast and coffee, Chad hung up our new birdfeeder and the strawberry basket I planted earlier in the week, and then we headed off to Todd and Sarah's on the tandem for brunch. A fine pagan spring celebration including much good food, egg hunting by the small, and mimosa imbibing by the not-so-small ensued.




Todd was presented with a bunny costume that his daughter Cathryn made for him, so he had to be the Easter Bunny and hide all the eggs. (Chad's just lucky that Nimue didn't think of making him a costume....)

Happily, there was time afterwards to collectively sit in the sunshine in the back yard full of blooms and read/nap, before enjoying grilled mango-coconut shrimp for dinner. And more CHEESECAKE for Monster Ma.
