Happy Easter, everyone!
It is a quiet one in our house this year. With no guests to entertain, we are having a quiet meal.
Sophie decorated some eggs and a white chocolate treat on Good Friday and we even found some adorable egg sleeves (the ones you slip over eggs and then place in boiling water for a second to adhere. She loved this one of little cats that look like our kitten, Rosie, and couldn't resist taking a snap shot of her "holding" it.
This year, I found the most wonderful online Canadian source (A Bit Of Home.ca) for English and Irish chocolate. I was thrilled to find my childhood favourite Flake bars (we called them Flakies) inside a Cadbury Easter egg. I was even more excited when I discovered they even sold Malteser/MaltEaster bunnies, which taste just like the real McCoy, little malted balls of perfection.
(For those of you who like Whoppers, Maltesers are ridiculously better. I do not like Whoppers...too sweet....so just take my word for it that Maltesers are superior!)
As an Easter surprise, we awoke to blustery snow this morning. Luckily, I had planned our Easter egg hunt for indoors, using clues I had written down from last year's hunt. Everyone is enjoying a lazy day tucked up inside away from the cold.
Enjoy your own traditions this Easter, and count your blessings!
Cheers!
You're so lucky to have a youngun that is still young enough to enjoy making Easter crafts and treats. We're having a quiet Easter around here too with just our youngest left at home and he really isn't into crafts or even into hunting for his eggs. I just made little packages for everyone with their favourite chocolates (and some British beer for my husband just because). I did get crafty and make a carrot garden carrot cake (your daughter would love the little animals we put on it).
ReplyDeleteBummer about the snow! Here's wishing our warm sunny weather is coming your way.
My husband grew up in England (we live in Toronto Canada now) and I always try to find sources for British chocolate for him too! His favourite is the 'Flakies' bars too!
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter to you all!
Happy Easter, Linda! We do NOT have snow this year although we often do. Your pictures are lovely and I LOVE kitty with its own egg!;>) Blessings-xo Diana
ReplyDeleteI'll never forget an uncle bringing us those bars when we were children. The reason the chocolate is so much better is because it is made with real cream. Maybe I should have a cup of tea and a little nibble before bed.....
ReplyDeleteI love the picture of your kitten holdding it's egg! Too cute! And, I have to say, I was SO unimpressed with that snow storm we got. We only had half the attendance at church, and that also meant only half the attendance for the childrens' Easter singing. At least we got our daughter there. But then, we really have no excuse, since we are 2 blocks from the church, lol!
ReplyDeleteLove the picture on the eggs.. sooo creative.
ReplyDeleteEspecially the dog and cat photo, so cute.
