HAPPY EASTER!

Happy Easter!  I remember the good old days when the kids were little and Easter was a big deal in the Easter bunny department.  Planning and buying went on for days for things to put in the little baskets for all the kids.....something special for each one.  And, the candy of course, had to be something we liked to eat also.  I loved the peeps, and in those days they only came in yellow.  Nowadays they come in all colors!  Boy, were they sticky after being bitten and left in a basket for a while.  Then the Mr. would don his bunny ears to hide all the eggs.  We had plastic eggs, we had hard boiled eggs, we had candy eggs, we had chocolate eggs, money eggs, gold special eggs.  It was so much fun to see what each child ended up with.  We used to count the eggs so we would not leave any in the yard.  A couple of years we didn't find them all and then in later years, they showed up.  Now all the family is grown and has family of their own.  We call the ones living far away and have the ones close enough for dinner.  Here is our Easter dinner table this year.
