There she goes..!!!
Just about every year my sister-in-law, Shannon & her family, host our family Easter dinner. They are just a couple houses up from us & it is so nice to just walk up the street to a family function.
There isn't too much worry about packing this, or 'Oh, I forgot that', I can just jaunt down the street to get something. I love living near family like this, I hope they don't mind it too much!
So on Sunday, everybody is looking lovely & we trotted down the street, looking forward to a yummy Easter dinner. Ham with my father-in-law's honey-wine sauce, green bean casserole, my husband's decadent cheesy potatoes! Mmm-mmm!!! It was as the chilly rain was beginning, just before our dinner, that the kids hunted for their Easter eggs. Everyone has thier own color of egg to seek, so that nobody is left out. But everyone was rushing about anyway, trying to hurry to get out of the weather. It was within minutes of our arriving to the family dinner in carefully chosen outfits & smartly styled hair, Easter eggs gathered, & returning inside cold, soggy and laughing. The kids only ate sweets, Man, they don't know WHAT they're missing. As I was telling myself the second helping of cheesy potatoes I was eating were my desert, the key lime pie & strawberry shortcake were brought out. Well, what's a girl to do?! Afterall, Easter only comes once a year!
