Easter Brunch

I decided to host an Easter Brunch at our house. It was excuse to have an egg hunt... to dye eggs... to see friends before baby #2 gets here... and to relish n the joys of what Easter is (candy!). *wink*

I served up coffee, muffins and an egg/sausage casserole (that for some reason took Way-y-y longer than it should have to cook). Davis & Catherine made "fairy cakes" (angel food with strawberries and whipped cream!), Kelly & Eric made crepes! and Dany & Greg brought fresh fruit. Some hard-boiled eggs were also brought to accompany the 18 or so I boiled the night before. Catherine also brought over even more eggs for the egg hunt (I *think* we ended up with some 36 eggs or more just for Duncan and Evie... sheesh!).

The morning began with egg dying during brunch. We found that if we abandoned this activity and left the eggs (more like forgot about), the colors were amazing. Ha!




After some breakfast we tore up the front lawn in a matter of seconds... hiding that many eggs in that small a space was rather silly. Evie and Duncan were like guided missiles all over the yard. It was cute and hilarious to watch.




Candy eggs were torn open and the bounty was calculated.


All and all, a great kick-off to the Easter Weekend!
