Easter dinner...

The days seem to flying by.  April is always a busy month, but with the addition of T-ball and warmer days playing outside I have neglected to update.  But I made it through my first Easter meal!!!


I made my own napkin rings from burlap and added a little button for a cute touch.  I also put a small chocolate bunny on each persons plate.   I also carried the burlap theme on my table runner...



 The kids table!
I found these cute bunny chair covers at the Dollar Tree.  I only had four kids so I just set the kitchen table for them.  At each place setting I made carrots for the kids.  I used my Wilton piping bag and filled them with Annie's Cheddar Bunnies.  Then I tied them off with lots of green curly ribbon.  The kids loved them!





The Food!
I roasted my very first leg of lamb.  I made up a recipe... It was basically a marinade of rosemary and mint with lots of fresh garlic and olive oil.  I rubbed it all over the meat and let it marinate together overnight- stuck it in the oven and it was delicious.

 I also had great Swedish roasted potatoes, a ham and lots of veggies!  But a big hit was the bunny crescent rolls.  Even the adults thought they were cute.

Dessert! 
Since I was busy making the meal, being the bunny and the hostess for the day, I asked everyone to bring dessert.  But for fun the kids and I did make cupcakes.  They were cute and simple and I dressed up the cake plate with a little paper Easter grass and ribbon. 



Hope you have enjoyed!!!
