A Big Bunny Cake & Green Beans with Bacon

What can these things mean? Yes, they mean that Sunday was Easter! We brought out some of the precious things we have been rationing out and may have come from our closest island (thanks to Katie & Craig...the other white meat) for our celebration. It was a really sweet weekend. We had a church service Sun. morning and then I dyed eggs with the kids at the house...my dad will be ecstatic. I know he missed me this year. I am 24 years old and for as long as I can remember we have shared this fun together and my mom has taken pictures! She has made me an Easter basket every year up till now, and even managed to slip one in (colored grass, and all) minus the basket into Mr. Shelby's suitcase to deliver to me, somehow! That U.S. postal service is becoming a dear friend! But, I missed my family this year. There's just some traditions that the tradition itself doesn't compare to the people you share it with and what you do it to remember. But that night, we had dinner at the Yates with Mr. Shelby and it was a fun time. I missed my family, but it was a good weekend.
We had an Easter brunch with the girls from Louisiana and some new friends for fun on Saturday. That's the pics. They had alot of fun. The traditions were new and different, but it was a heart-felt Easter away from home focusing on what we remember and why and that made it feel more like home.
