Easter 2016

I hope you all had a Blessed Easter despite, or because of, the weather!

We were very blessed, spending time with both of our girls et al.

I bought all the eggs in good time, all the chocolate ones at any rate, Little Soldier would have a knitted egg and SILR would have a home baked cake.


There was only one egg that I could buy for PJ .......

.... had to be didn't it!!!!

  
 How he laughed but I had so much pleasure for weeks before...........




I have a Despicable Me fan in the family so .........

First thing on Saturday I baked a cake and managed to get it all cooled down and into the carrier before we left home to make a few errands and visit DDC.  The cake still needed some butter icing to go with the jam through the centre but I had no icing sugar.  When we arrived I added the icing sugar pattern atop the cake..... no photos I'm afraid.
Clever SILR popped round the shop and bought some cream!!!



I started knitting LS egg a week ago but had to take off a few days ...... health is important!!!
I managed to finish knitting Little Soldier's egg on Good Friday .... cutting it fine I know!!  

The instructions suggested coating the egg with hairspray to create the form but I just left it 'soft'.  Love this little toy - Alan Dart is just soooo clever!!
We took the eggs round with us as DDC had invited us for tea ..... with SILR doing the cooking I knew I was in for a treat ..... he did not let us down .... a lamb dinner!!!
I came home with some Easter Mallows!  Never knew these existed!!!  I am saving these for 'that' day when I will sit and enjoy ........

DDN doesn't 'do' chocolate so I cheated a bit and bought a white chocolate cow!!    


This was greatly appreciated as she can make the cowshed from the box and SILA can eat the egg!!!





I received some flowers, from which I made two arrangements so am really happy!!!


A beautiful yellow and purple one and then........


 .....a completely different one, in oranges and gold!

Altogether a great Easter!!

Thank you Lord for all these Blessings, You are mighty.
