My parents and youngest brother Sam arrived at 1 and we ate, went to the park, watched Cordelia hunt for Easter eggs (filled with vegan jellybeans). *For the record we don't do the Easter bunny business and the Easter egg hunt is purely a fun game for Cordelia...she does not think a gigantic magical bunny hides eggs in the yard. Eric and I just didn't feel right about telling untruths to our kids. Same with Santa and tooth fairy and chupacabra.
When the hunt was done we came back inside for more foooooood! My mom made a fantastic vegan pie and we matched it with some soy vanilla ice cream. Needless to say, dinner was skipped. Below is the photographic evidence of a day well spent. If you want MORE just hop on over to my mother's blog, click here.

Love!!! The girls look adorable. Cordelia's sequined hat adds a nice touch of pizazz! Elise is so darn cute. The photos of you are beautiful. I love your new growing-out-the-bangs hair styles - so fresh! And the food...I'm drooling. What a lovely day you all had!
I love your hair!
The girls are cute in the dresses, are they new?
I remember when I was young, my mom bought new outfits for my brother and I for Easter mass. It was a tradition in our family going way back to great-great-grandmother days.
Always love the photos. And I am so glad you expressed how you don't lie to your kids. Growing up. our family had lots of fun with Santa Claus, the Tooth Fairy, Easter Bunny, etc. But we always knew they were imaginary fun and Jesus was real. I used the same philosophy with my kids. They didn't miss any fun, and they never had to be disillusioned.Your kids are blessed in their parents!
It was a lovely day!
Very cute! Glad you had a good Easter.
Thank you for all of the compliments!
___Yes, Roxanne, the dresses were gifts from their Grandma!
Thank you! It looks like a wonderful day!
There is nothing like beautiful little girls in their Easter dresses. And beautiful big girls...I love your white outfit! So fresh for spring. You, your mama, your girls...so much loveliness in one family! I just love seeing the rest of your family when you post holiday pics.
Signed, AKM, your kindred pickle-and-olive-lover spirit. ;-)
