We always colored eggs, and had easter baskets filled with that fake grass, and jelly beans, Jordan almonds, and chocolate bunnies. My mother liked making leg of lamb for Easter supper.

We always did the eggs, and I would always be sure to make the biggest mess with them form my experimenting with colors. Mine always had to look "different." Ham and deviled eggs, a must for the table.
Best story of one Easter.....mom decided to hide half the eggs outside in the yard one year. She wasn't thinking and let the dog out for a bit. We were a little short on the egg hunt that year but that old dog we had was really happy and well fed that night. He enjoyed his "hunt".

Easter morning was waking to look for our basket. The basket had the usual chocolates and colored eggs. We always got a new stuffed animal. Then the race was on to get ready for church. After church we met up with family for an egg hunt and a ham dinner. Easter always brings joy to me. It is the affirmation of my faith, that life is eternal and the season itself is a metaphor of rebirth. This always marked the end of winter and a feeling of relief fills me. This is my fav holiday.
