Easter before and after

Hello dear Reader. We hosted Easter this year and had 21 for the occasion! On Saturday I started baking. This was what the kitchen looked like after I baked this:

Marc and I got so much done on Easter eve! Power washing lawn furniture, washing windows, weed whacking, taking winter coats and boots out of the closet and setting up tables and chairs.

Bubbe meets the 13 lb ham. He's not impressed.

The star of Easter was the beautiful and warm weather!

We ate outside, well my family did, as there wasn't any seating left indoors. The kids played whiffle ball. Unfortunately I didn't get any photos.

Moments from slicing: the traditional lamb cake made by Kirsten and decorated by her girls. In the rear Mom's Apricot and marzipan torte. She also made her divine Lemon chiffon cheese cake, which always gets rave reviews. Bobby brought an apple pie. I made the chocolate babka and the chick cake. I used the chocolate cake recipe from the Hershey's cocoa tin.
