The Easter Bunny Lives

We had a lot of fun this weekend preparing for and celebrating Easter.  First thing Saturday morning I handed Ross a bag of plastic eggs and gave him the job of decorating the dogwood near the road.

After we visited Hill-Stead, The Easter Bunny (aka Malima) brought Mark an egg filled with Ferrero Rocher hazelnut chocolates--delicious!

That same Easter Bunny brought me a basket she lined with fabric my Dziadzi had woven and that she then filled with adorable goodies.  I can't wait to listen to the CD mixes Malima and Vio put together for my upcoming lengthy commute!

On Sunday morning, The Easter Bunny left baskets for Ross, Malima, and Vio on the dining room table.  Later in the morning, we took turns hiding eggs around the house for each other to find. 

There was even time to dye eggs before dinner!  Malima brought along some blown eggs to decorate in addition to our hard-boiled ones.  We always have to have the hard-boiled ones for our traditional "egg wars"!  We also had the traditional kielbasy with beet horseradish as an appetizer.

Look how cute!  Later in the afternoon a couple of neighbors joined us for dessert...and too quickly it was time for the young'uns to head back to Boston.  On the plus side, Ross got a lot of work done on his MR2 with Mark's help, so it was a fun and productive weekend all around.
