the easter that was

i feel like a real grown-up now... because last easter, i was a quintessential cooking mom. i was fussing in the kitchen over my first turkey lunch - it took 4 hours to roast the 6.5 kilo turkey, and prepare stuffing/dressing and gravy from scratch (no wonder people just buy the pre-cooked sets come thanksgiving)... but only took a quarter of that time to eat it! thank God for the internet and for Maya's Mum - the turkey turned out pretty good despite the fact that i didn't have a meat thermometer!

maya and her folks came over to celebrate easter with us, and they brought easter treats and a bunny cape that we put on the girls. there's nothing like friends, family, good food, and kids to celebrate Easter!



aldo even whipped out Gordon Ramsey's Kitchen Heaven and made a Bailey's Bread & Butter Pudding for dessert - yum, yum, yum!



we were so stuffed and beat that amori and i fell asleep on the couch when everyone went home. =P



i can't wait for next Easter - Amori and Maya will be old enough to understand an easter egg hunt by then!
