Easter Flowers

This year, I ended up with more flower pictures than food.  I don't know how I managed, but I didn't take a single picture of our Easter lunch.  Too excited to eat, I guess.  I did take quite a few of the kids hunting eggs, though, so I'll break them up into two posts.

You get a sneak peak of the kitchen backsplash with this one.  :)

I got permission from a neighbor to pick lilacs, so pick I did.

We did buffet style this year, so I didn't set the table.

Just a bouquet, candles, and plates.

I mixed in some of my snowball viburnum with the lilacs, and tucked in some plastic eggs.

The Easter Bunny left the chocolate eggs on the table, to let us know he had been here.

In the dining room, the DIY globe lights got a mini bunny makeover, and a wire basket got a clear glass mixing bowl to hold water for more flowers.

My sister brought me a bouquet of dark purple lilacs from her yard.

And a nummy salmon appetizers.

My mom brought me a bouquet, as well.

And last, a few pics of what my sister calls, "The Best Carrot Cake In All The Land."

You can find my recipe here:

The World's Best Carrot Cake

And that's it for this post.

I'll be back with Easter kid pics later this week, then back to the usual April garden photos.
