Easter Sunday Celebration

What a fun day with one of our daughters and her family and a friend with her sister and their children. The weather was beautiful. The food was abundant and delicious. The children enjoyed biking, swinging, see-sawing, and the egg hunt. And the conversations were interesting. No one wanted to go home.

I call that a perfect day! Praised be to Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!

Holy Saturday preparations and the Easter celebration:

The lamb cake was a little droopy headed -- a straw fixed that.

Of Easter Eggs and Little Lambs

Two Holy Saturday projects: coloring Easter Eggs and making the traditional lamb cake. First the eggs. Hmm...what color for this one? Pink? We colored the last one pink and the one before that and the one before that. Guess what color is the favorite?

Next comes the traditional lamb cake which I haven't made in a few years and almost forgot about until someone, I think Alice, mentioned it. Ah, yes...I can do that. First get out the lamb pan, the cake mix, the decorator tips and bags and then go to work.

Bake the cake and after it cools do a light frosting coat to reduce crumbs. Oops, no coconut to make the "grass" for the completed cake. No problem...sprinkles are good anywhere, anytime! And the lamb becomes the centrepiece for the Easter table.
