Easter Tulips and Lamb cake

We had a really nice Easter.  Michelle and Vivienne came home for the weekend.  We spent Saturday making our tradition lamb cake and dying eggs.  It's been a few years since I've done that....probably around nine or ten years.  It will be fun to pick up that tradition again.  We usually have our Easter brunch outside but the weather was a bit too cold for that this year.  So, we ate in the dining room on the Easter dishes and had our usual baked ham, scrambled eggs, asparagus and hollandaise sauce, biscuits with several homemade jellies.  After brunch we took lots of pictures of Miss Vivienne for her first Easter.  She was so pretty in her pink, smocked dress and bonnet that Gene gave her.  She also wore the pretty knitted booties that Lady Melanie had given to her.  She looked like a doll.  Every little girl should have a pretty Easter dress and Christmas dress every year.  Heck, even big girls should have them too.  We are all looking forward to next Easter when Vivienne will be walking and hunting for Easter eggs.  It will be here before we know it, I'm sure.
