Resurrection Sunday was full of family and friends and lots of feasting. After church, we went over to Ben’s cousin’s house and we ate. Then, we went to my mom’s house and ate some more. Don’t forget to throw in all the sweet stuff and candy filled eggs, I think we were definitely eating more than we were supposed to.
My mom doesn’t know the meaning of the word simple and when she plans for a meal, she goes all out. Always. In fact, my parents went to the port at 2am to get all the seafood as fresh as possible. 2AM!!! My parents are crazy! Somehow my mom has the talent to cook for 50 people all the time, when in fact there usually is only about 20 people coming, and all she makes is delicious. No joke. Neither my siblings or I got that talent of hers. She definitely has the gift of hospitality. Sadly, it didn’t rub off on me too much. I’m horrible at hospitality!
The girls got to do another egg hunt, we all had lots of fun feasting, and I had a blast eating crab. It’s one of my favorite things to eat. My hands get all stinky, I break shell with my teeth, and the juice splatters everywhere, but to me, it tastes so yummy. It was my request for the Easter meal. There was fried calamari, salmon, yellow tail, shrimp, mussels, and lots of fruit and desserts galore. We left with our tummies full, hearts happy, and very tired little girls. It was a wonderful day full of joy to celebrate the day our Lord has risen. We most definitely had a glorious Easter!
Beautiful familiy!!
those mussels look so tasty!!! and your family is sooo beautiful…

Oh my everything ur mum cooked look so delicious! I love crabs too 😉
Love Glow’s face in the second last photo! Hehe.
My mom is the exact same way! She’ll be so tired but torture herself making this all-out meal, and never listens when we tell her something has to give sometimes. Every meal she serves is huge, and everything is always delicious. 🙂
Such a sweet little Easter weekend. your back yard looks like such a fun little place for all those girls to grow up! love it!
Thanks Katy! Actually, it’s my mom and dad’s backyard. It the one I grew up in and I totally played in the outdoor, little house.
