Easter fun!!!

Easter weekend was pretty fun! It was our last weekend before our "other house" went on the market, so there was lots to do. I also had a cookie order for our friend's new church. (Epic Church of Mishawaka is awesome!) So, Saturday I spent the day baking, cleaning and cooking... though I did take the time to get a pedicure. It felt great! In the afternoon a friend stopped by just as I was helping the kids get started on decorating eggs. I set them up on the kitchen table and headed downstairs to have a drink with the men. When I came back upstairs I found that the kids had managed to also decorate our kitchen table... I have tried everything I know, but I think we are permanently decorated for Easter! It's art work that we will have forever! Hahaha!
Sunday we were having some friends for Easter dinner. That included one of our friend's parents. It was great! Since losing my parents holidays are difficult, but my friends are doing a great job helping me with that!!!!! Our Easter dinner was a joint affair. My favorite kind of meal!!!! We had a Honeybaked Ham, Delmonico potatoes, deviled eggs, fresh asparagus with Frenchie's vinaigrette, veggie and fruit platter, green bean casserole and Sue's spaghetti salad. YUM!!! We also had a great bottle of wine from the Lemon Creek winery. The meal was followed up by fresh rhubarb pie and Frangelico Cream! I don't think I have ever been that full! The beautiful Spring day made everything taste all the better. After our meal we were able to go outside and watch the kids (and Run) play football! I think my daughter is ready for the Rockets! She is tough! It was a nice day!
Each thing that we had brings back to me wonderful memories of past meals in my life! Love that! I will share the Delmonico potato recipe. It is wonderful and I am hoping that Mary won't mind. She shared it with me on our South Carolina vacation this summer. What a great meal!
Delmonico Potatoes
9 medium potatoes
1/2 lb. sharp cheddar, grated
1 tsp. dry mustard

Happy Dyngus day to all of you! Tomorrow maybe I'll share our Dyngus Day meal with you!!!! Thanks for reading!
