Easter

We had eight adults, two teenage boys and three little boys and Wellington weather could not have been better. By 9am all the little boys were here and we had an Easter egg hunt outside. There were LOTS of little eggs and marshmallow eggs, a chocolate chicken for each of the little boys and a Lindt bunny for each adult. Oh what fun! The litle boys were so into to and even Jacob who had never been on a Easter egg hunt before was copying the other boys and finding eggs.



We came inside for Bucks Fizz (champagne and orange juice( and/or coffee while I finished off the scrambled eggs. Then we sat down to brunch: bacon, sausages, eggs, portabello mushrooms, tomatoes and "smashed" potatoes (cooked, partly mashed, sprinkled with garlic salt and olive oil and then baked in the oven). Then we has dessert - Hot Cross bun bread-and-butter pudding. It was a lovely meal shared with our family and extended family.


Jacob had a sleep in Ross' bed and then all the little boys put on Superman suits. The two littlest had suits that had belonged to Ross and Colin which I could not bring myself to get rid of.


Around 4pm we decided to go fishing; the light was going by the time we found the "right" spot and I took lots of lovely photos of the fishermen. Unfortunately, that's all we brought home from the fishing expedition but there's always another day


It was a wonderful day and I only hope that everyone else enjoyed themselves too
