Easter

We had a good Easter weekend. Well, besides the fact that Mark was sick. We spent some time on Friday and Saturday working in our yard. We are trying to redo some of the flower beds. I will post more about that another time when we actually have some nice updates done. On to the Easter celebrations . . . I talked Mark into dying Easter eggs with me on Saturday night. This was always a big tradition with my family. We did not do the plastic eggs with candy. Instead, we dyed dozens of hard boiled eggs and that is what we hunted on Easter morning. Mark and I only dyed a dozen together (actually 9 because three cracked in the boiling process) but it was fun. Then, for Easter lunch we invited Mark's parents and my brother over. We had roast, potatoes, carrots, devil eggs (my first time to make them), crescent rolls, fruit salad, and I think that is it. For desert we had lemon icebox pie. Thanks, Alli, for the recipe! All in all, it was a very nice Easter weekend.
The process . . .
