Easter (part three) the end of the trilogy.

Easter is almost here. One day left. Rex and Mom are in the kitchen getting prepped for the big Easter dinner. Eva and El were a HUGE help!
Eva is peeling the garlic.
El sautes' the onions and zucchini.


Rex is sneaking in a beer break. Why not with all the sous chefs around!

Eva prepares three tablespoons of fresh thyme leaves.
Jim and Todd working hard.
Yep, the Easter Bunny found our house!
Here come the girls...
to see what treasures are to be found.



Rex and Jim find some yummy treats in their basket.
Daddy does too.

Time to hunt for eggs!
This is not a hard task as there are around a hundred!


Some have candy...
some have cash!!!
Time to dress for dinner.
Of course, for Eva that means another fashion show!








Dinner at last!
Filet Mignon with Brandy sauce
Risotto with cheese and asparagus
Vegetable au Gratin
Carrot and Raisin Salad
Key Lime Pie
YUM!!!


And of course, Easter cookies!
Eva, El, and Mom had a wonderful time making them.

Happy Easter (part two)

Eva and El colored eggs.

Eva discovered that she could pick up a layer of water in her egg dipper and then blow it out like a bubble.



Then El took Eva to draw some Easter decorations while I cleaned up from egg dying and got ready for cookie baking.

Time for cookies!
Eva preferred to eat the dough.



Eva's best butterfly cookie!
Eva was the judge for who decorated the better cookie between el and me. She chose El's cookie each time except one. That time she thought my cookie was El's!
I need an impartial judge!!!

Cinderella

Eva was very excited to try out my new mop.
She mopped...
and mopped...
and mopped!
Any chance I'll be able to get her to do this every week???
