Happy Easter, Happy Spring

Easter was very fun this year...

Breakfast with homemade scones; 

a neighborhood Easter Egg Hunt and mimosas;
and then a big family afternoon get together with the cousins.  

Pretty perfect, actually.



Here are some photos from the weekend.

I always swear, that one of these years, I want to dye eggs with natural dyes,
(like beets, tea and spinach...)

 but am always such a sucker for the vibrant colors of PAZ!!

Our dogwood tree blossoms...inside the house and out.

The kids and I made these delicious lemon scones for our Easter Breakfast 

and then for the neighborhood Easter Egg Hunt/potluck-- 

I made this very easy but pretty impressive asparagus puff pastry tart.

With gruyere cheese...its so good!

The Easter Bunny came, of course, bringing lots of fun treats...

We love the Easter Bunny!!  

He is a bit more mysterious than Santa Claus, 

(i.e...how does he get in the house?)

but I think the mystery is why we like him so much.

Well, that and all the chocolate he brings...

Hope your holiday weekend was very special, 

very delicious,

and spent with those you love.
