Happy Easter!

You can't tell from this terrible picture, but our colored eggs have glitter all over them. Easter egg glitter does not come off of skin very easily, in case you were wondering.

The Easter Bunny was generous to Liam, and he really likes his new bunny , whom he has named Carrot.  You can see his Easter basket in the background, which has a little bit of candy (jelly beans, Reese cups, etc.), plus a large chocolate bunny, and some little toys (YoYo Ball, playing cards illustrated with The Dog, bubbles, Naruto cards).  One of the things I love about Liam is that he is every bit as excited about the little stuff as he is about the big stuff.  In his eyes, presents are All Good.  I know that he was hoping for a new Webkinz, but every place in town is sold out of the little money pits darling things. 

There's a pound cake in the oven, courtesy of  Edna Lewis and Scott Peacock's wonderful cookbook, The Gift of Southern Cooking.  I used to be a good baker but I don't bake much anymore, so I'm hoping some of their mojo will rub off on me.  Liam and I are going to a picnic with the extended family of one of my best girlfriends; they're my second family.  Hopefully they'll still love me even if the pound cake sucks.  It should be fun, although it's a little chillier than I like, especially for April.  But it's clear and sunny and beautiful, and sharing good food with good friends by the ICW is not a bad way to enjoy Easter.

Hope the Bunny was generous at your house!

Happy Easter to you and Liam!

We celebrated yesterday, and I made an angel foof cake. I am a pretty decent cook though not much of a baker, and I was foolishly scared to make angel food- so easy! Hope the pound cake turns out as well.

I think Easter ties kids over till Christmas for presents. Oh, Halloween helps too.

I miss the colored eggs. All I got was a bunch of pale egg shells from my boiled eggs that morning.

Glad you guys had a good Easter!
