Easter morning started early with the kids searching for their treat baskets hidden inside the house. Before grownups were even fully awake, the kids came bouncing in to show off their found treasure. Next came a careful examination of the basket contents- big chocolate bunnies, Cadbury eggs and other delights. After shoving a few pieces of candy into our mouths, we got ready and headed over to the church.
Later on, we went outside to hunt for the eggs in the yard.
After madly dashing about and finding (hopefully) all of the eggs, the kids set to work extracting the loot...a bit of candy or money inside each egg:
And Lilla was happy to play with the empty eggs: 
We lounged around in a sugar induced coma for a while then Ava and I made a big dinner: veggie sushi, spring rolls, tofu, pizza, and carrot cake. Kind of a random collection of things, but the spring rolls and carrot cake seemed like appropriate choices to me....and the pizza? Well, that's what the kids wanted. Plus, aside from a little help making the dough and sauce, Ava made the pizza all by herself. She's become quite a good helper in the kitchen and good company as well.
With joy we sat down together at our spring (and food!) laden table to feast and welcome renewal.

Now that sounds like my kind of Easter dinner!
i can just picture the mad dash for the eggs! sounds like you guys had a great time! wish we were there for dinner-- sounds so much better than our frozen food delights we had-- (no food in fridge from vacation!)
I'm happy to hear that the Easter bunny stopped over at the Dodge house! Hey, ask Ava why I am still denied! denied! denied! from her blog. I don't like the feeling of being denied! denied! denied!
Wish I stopped by for the easter events. I too was in a coma from all the candy and other sweets I indulged in. ~Lea
