Easter

It's hard to be away from Family on holidays. Particularly the ones fraught with tradition, like Easter. Nevertheless, us lonely city dwellers do what we can to make the best of it. By now however, we have it down to a careful science.

Step 1: Gather as many people as possible into the tiny living room...


Step 2: Have everyone bring food (yes, I made dinner rolls from scratch thankyouverymuch)...


Step 3: Bring cupcakes from Magnolia Bakery...


Step 4: Various festive activities, as appropriate to the holiday...

The tools...




I like these, but the others preferred the "Bright and Shiny Accent" eggs...

Like these...

So it's not like home, but we manage. :)
