Easter time...

 

 What is Easter time without coloring eggs? So glad Connor, Ella and Colson were able to do those for us this year!  Kelsey dropped in for a quick pic! Then off to help one of my neighbors!

 All done with the colorful eggs. Good job kids!!! Love them all.

 Kurt and Jen and Mr. Cannon came by for dinner a few days before the Easter holiday.  Mr. Cannon opening up a little Easter gift. WE are so blessed to have them close by.

Jeff and Andrea joined our Easter celebration.  She makes the "best" twice baked potatoes. We are all fans of them! Love being with these two...always lots of laughter and fun!  Happy second year anniversary...you love birds!!!

Martha (from Kalamazoo days) Kelsey (my third child) and Robby (my nephew...who once sang me a Cathy song...) These three were a blast to have for our special dinner. We love them all!

Had to get a picture of Robby and Uncle Rick. 

We have the same Easter dinner every year....with added side dishes...like Andrea's special twice baked potatoes!

Here is the menu that started with my Nani...

One must always start with a ham....

Then the Rice Casserole (a must)

Green Bean casserole

Homemade rolls along with homemade jam (this year's jam was the Straw-blue...which my new, old neighbor taught me how to make while we were in Michigan...thanks Candy)

We did fresh cut strawberries this year....other year's have been the Ambrosia salad from none other than my bff from high school, Lori Long Shum. 

I know that some of you did the ribbon layered salad...I'd love to hear how it turned out!

I saw from Cara posting some of our previous year's Easter pictures that we have made trifle...with fruit.

That is my personal favorite dessert.  My favorite recipe of that is from Miss Maggie...I'll have to post that one!
