Our lovely long weekend

Happy Easter!
We had a lovely long weekend.
Here in Canada we get Good Friday off, and Easter Monday.
I understand Friday, but not why the Monday is called Easter Monday!



Marie and Ashley created these pretty little edible baskets.
They had a brownie baked inside a tart; yummy!


I noticed the beautiful egg cup decorations on top of this fireplace
in Marie's family room; but I didn't notice the new fireplace!
Marie has had major renovations done to her house, and I don't
think I spotted everything!

Doesn't it remind you of Martha Stewart's ideas?























Loretta, Leona, Marie and Ashley.
(the dishes are a wedding present to my parents in 1955;
Marie inherited them, and uses the set at Easter)



The whole group except Robert who was taking
the picture. (the big boys had other plans)



Everything was sooo pretty!



Ashley watching Grandma play hymns on the piano.




Then after all that excitement, Matthew texted (is that a word?) Robert
and asked if we'd like to come over for dinner at his place.
This is the 1st time we've been invited over so of course we said yes!
The dinner was scrumptious:
Brandy Cream Chicken served over rice, with hot cross buns from
Stewart's baker for dessert. Yummy!

Robert and Matthew, April 4, 1999. Easter Sunday and Robert's 40th birthday! (which is why Robert is in a porch picture!)

Some of the clan on Easter Sunday, April 4, 1999: Matthew, Colin, Paul, Ashley


All of the clan...who knows why James is so unhappy?


Easter lunch at our house. (I don't have a picture of the adult table...maybe Robert's 40th birthday was too much for me?) April 4, 1999


Some of the clan...Easter, 1999 (the weird white line is my camera strap, alas)
