Easter Sunday went off fairly well. With a cheese plate/pate
appetizer, salad, ham, potatoes del monico, carrots, asparagus, and
other people bringing desserts the menu was pretty low maintenance.
That being said, I didn't cook any of it, Hubby always does a majority
of the holiday cooking and I do the grocery buying, menu planning,
cleaning and setting up.
I wasn't going to buy a new dress for Easter, I was just going to wear one I already own, but then I found one online and decided I really liked it (on Wednesday no less...) I had to spend the money for two day shipping, but when you change your mind last minute, that is the price you have to pay!
Since the dress was a busy pattern I accessorized with simple pearls to keep things from being too crazy. My pearl mesh bracelet does have pale purple amethysts as well as pearls. The plain ballet flats worked for me because I was at home and if I wear heels I tower over Hubby and most of his family! As an added bonus, flats were much easier to walk on the lawn for the egg hunt and otherwise chase after Babygirl. I had intended to also wear a cardigan, but the weather on Sunday was so beautiful that we threw open all the windows in the house and there was no need for a cardigan.
All in all it was a beautiful day. Unfortunately the next morning I woke up to find I had the stomach bug that is going around, my kitchen was a huge mess, and we had been infested with ants overnight! Oh well...
