Good Monday morning! I hope you enjoyed your weekend and that your Easter was lovely and filled with faith, family, food, and fun. I am so thankful that my children enjoy our holiday traditions so much they are happy to watch The Easter Bunny is Comin' to Town and set out carrots and juice for the Easter Bunny!
Three of my four! Peyton and Christopher attended the Easter Vigil mass, where Christopher played his violin. Easter Sunday was sunny and warm enough for Steve to cook the bacon for brunch outside. This makes me happy, for as much as I enjoy a piece of bacon every now and then, I do not enjoy my home smelling like it for days after! Steve and I were so happy to have everyone with us for Easter Brunch. Kyrstin, Rhett's girlfriend, was working but was able to join us later for dinner and dessert.
Our Easter brunch included bacon, scrambled eggs, fruit salad, herb and cheese quiche, cinnamon coffee cake, Danish kringle, and deviled eggs. We also had coffee, tea, and orange juice for drinks. Mass, baskets, games, chocolate, naps, and fun followed brunch on our beautiful Easter Day. And now, forgive me as I finish this so I can get the fire going, pour a cup of hot coffee and get ready for the snow that is coming later today!
How was your Easter, my friends? Any plans for today?
Thanks for visiting. And prayers for our world.

All of your food looks delicious. Happy to hear you enjoyed your Easter with your family. More snow?? It's a bit chilly here but no snow. End of the week is supposed to be 80 degrees. Crazy weather.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week Billie Jo.
Such beautiful photos. Well, since we are staying with friends until the land gets cleared and the house up, Kim made a lovely ham with pineapples, and I made potato salad. This was the first Easter without our son and our friends kept us kept busy...smiles.
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter. I also don't love the lingering bacon smell! So glad you could celebrate well!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a wonderful (and yummy) Easter brunch! I don't mind the smell of bacon so much except it makes me hungry, ha. Our Easter was just us again and a bit like a comedy of errors but it was still nice. Hope you enjoy your snow and have a wonderful week!
ReplyDeleteI am so glad you had a lovely family day!
ReplyDeleteSNOW???? oh my. Where do you live where it might snow? i know here in eastern NY we are supposed to get heavy rain. Central NY where im originally from is supposed to get 5 inches!!
ReplyDeleteHow fun to have an Easter Brunch with all the trimmings. ADORABLE plates!!
Happy Easter and enjoy the week
I am totally wiped out, Easter about did me in.
ReplyDeleteCarrots & Juice, oh why did I never think of that? Love it! We had snow here today, it so chilly we had a fire all day long Easter. Love the big deck and pretty view...looks like you had a terrific time! My plans for the day? Spring cleaning...my son is graduating in May, don't get me started (sniff, sniff). Mary
