The table I am sharing with you today is from Easter 2008 - I love Easter time - the colors are so fun and it is starting to feel like Spring...
We don't usually have a big crowd for Easter, as some of our children live out of town and some of the other local ones have other places they need to go...This Easter we had 2 adult children and 4 grandchildren join us..You can see where the grandchildren will sit :-)
they have toys and of course candy for the holiday!!! ummm chocolate must be in there somewhere!!!
Of course we can't forget the fabulous flowers for the wonderful season - so let's do colored roses ..ahhhh don't you just love all the colors roses you can now buy?
The most fun from this year was..
the small plant containers around the flowers?
that is actually pudding with crushed Oreo cookies on top to look like dirt and then a 'fake' flower inserted..
We told my 7 (at the time) year old grandson that he could eat dirt TODAY only..he said no way - well his Dad picked up a pot and started eating it - WOW what a reaction we got from Dylan (grandson!!)..it was so funny, but then he could hardly wait to try it..
To this day he always asks if I am going to make the 'dirt' dessert and YES I always do for EASTER only..it's now a fun tradition..
HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE!!!
Add some gummy worms to those pots, the kids will love it! I taught school for 33 yrs and the dirt cake was always a hit..:)
