Happy Easter!

When I was little I always thought that Easter morning was the best part of the whole day. Waking up early to secretly scout out Easter basket hiding places, giggling with satisfaction as I ate my first of many chocolate bunnies and watched my brothers still hunting, then the mad rush of everyone in their new Easter outfits and shiny shoes trying to get to church on time. After church it was off to grandma and grandpa's for brunch. My favorite part of the meal was dessert. Grandma always made a little lamb-shaped coconut covered cake with a pink bow for dessert.

Easter mornings have changed alot since then...no more baskets, new outfits or lamb-shaped coconut cakes. But they're still just as good. Today I slept in and woke to a soft drizzly gray day. I made cinnamon french toast with fresh strawberries. I'm sure not everyone is excited about the rain as it takes the fun out of all the easter egg hunts and ruins all the fluffy colored dresses, but for this little chick with nowhere to go, it made everything better. I think this afternoon I'll watch a movie and curl up with a tea.

I hope your Easter morning was just the way you love it!
