Dinner and Family

We headed North to Jen’s for Easter dinner.  There is still snow there.  In places where there is bare dirt in the fields the steam was rising causing a bit of a fog.  There is no work happening in their fields.

Jen and Andy are great cooks.  Andy smoked both a turkey and a ham and made an Italian Sausage dressing/stuffing.  Jen made scalloped potatoes, a relish tray, vegetable tray, lefsa  and her famous Carrot Cake!  It was a wonderful dinner.

I made a “salad” that the boys will eat.  Granny Smith apples chopped into fine pieces, chopped Snickers candy bars and Cool Whip.  Easy peasy. And corn..some we froze up last summer, nothing better than corn that tastes like summertime.

After church eggs were colored for dinner.

Chaucer a much loved old kitty cat supervised.

I showed Adam how to do an egg in two colors.  He thought that was pretty cool.

Jen and Andy did a Easter Egg Hunt with clues for the boys.  They had to work together as a team.  The first clue said they should clean up their room before starting on the hunt.

Eventually the clues lead to their Easter Baskets.  As soon as we arrived, Adam told us he no longer believed in the Easter Bunny.  When asked if he was still getting an Easter Basket..he said “Well of course.”

On our way home there was snow in the air..it seemed more like Thanksgiving weather than Easter weather:)
