Wishing everyone a happy Easter this weekend. We are gathering as an extended family on Sunday at our house. About fourteen of us this year. There will be ham, mashed potatoes, carrots, green beans, a creamy corn casserole, chick pea salad and a spring greens salad. I’m baking a lemon layer cake and my daughter is making a cinnamon roll cake. My sister in law is bringing another dessert and my sister is bringing appetizers.
I don’t think we are expecting a warm spring day, but instead cool and rainy ( perhaps snow). But that’s April.
Even though our two kids are 26 and 29, I’ll still pick up a few little Easter treats for them ( and their significant others).I asked husband if he wanted anything and he said yes, but just one. Likely something Reese’s Peanut Butter chocolate. Then I asked, and what am I getting? Like most moms, I’ll get my own ( like stuffing your own stocking at Christmas! Haha.)
I am looking forward to getting on with outdoor tasks the first of which will be raking our one acre property. If the weather behaves we will have “ kid” help on the holiday Monday.
Happy Easter everyone! 🐣
A good family gathering...wish I could get mine together like that!
ReplyDeleteHappy, blessed Easter! I remember those years of stuffing my own stocking at Christmas...lol...Your food sounds wonderful and now I am hungry. xo Diana
ReplyDeleteYeah, it works out that way, doesn't it? We get our own? Well, at least we get what we like! Your dinner sounds terrific. Ours will be non-traditional this year and I'll miss the ham but it's off limits for me for another 10 days. Sigh. So shrimp and grits it is. No complaints on that, though! Our weather in Michigan looks about to be the same. Cold and rainy. Have a glorious Easter -- it's so nice to see your post!
ReplyDeleteWe are expecting a large crowd and of course it is raining.

Happy Easter and enjoy your holiday dinner with family!
ReplyDeleteMuch the same here, only lamb instead of ham. And there will be just six of us which is about all I can fit around my table!
ReplyDeleteWe will have dinner for eleven on Sunday. Sweet treats will not be offered though strawberry shortcake is on he menu.
ReplyDeleteA good Easter family celebration Jenn. Happy Easter! Rachel
ReplyDeleteLovely. Enjoy your family easter and your easter chocolate! It all sounds perfect, even the feast which is so foreign to me. The food, not the feasting lol
ReplyDeleteHope you get them to work too, So great when you have help
Happy Easter Jenn!
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice Easter having everyone together. We had a snowstorm with lots of ice. We are hunckered down and not going anywhere.
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter to you and your extended family! Enjoy your time together.
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter Jenn! Hopefully our warm spring won't turn into a hot summer. :)
ReplyDeleteWe've got all our kids and grandkids here this weekend as well. Good times.
ReplyDeleteI stop by regularly hoping to see you posting. Happy Easter and spring to you!
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter to you.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
Sounds like quite a feast! And so nice to have family gathering at your home.
ReplyDeleteYes, unfortunately few seem to think to get mother's an Easter treat. I bought myself a small pack of peeps, just because it has been years since I had any and could not remember how they tasted! Really, no taste at all except sweet, but the outer covering had an interesting texture i did not recall.
