My Cup Runneth Over...

Well, as a beautiful ending to our very full Easter weekend, we celebrated our Easter dinner early Monday evening.  As usual, I had my hands full in the kitchen, but I did manage to take a few pictures here and there...

Simplicity is key with me, so I simply cut a few Spring boughs from the garden for the centre piece and placed them in a crystal decanter, the scent was just lovely!  The little table cloth once belonged to my husband's grandmother, I enjoy the delicate weave and use it quite often.

The tableware was a mixture of two different patterns, but I really like the look - fresh!

And although our meal consisted of homemade Cauliflower Soup, Baked Ham, Tagliatelli with Mushrooms and Havarti Cheese, Buttered String Beans, Kabachi Squash, Baked Beets, Corn, Peas and Dinner Rolls... with the exception of the Dinner Rolls, the only pictures that seemed to be taken were of the dessert offerings!

My granddaughter takes her Dessert very seriously.  Her lovely headband remained on throughout the main meal, but when Dessert came, it was tossed to the wind!

Needless to say, that all good things must come to an end... even Pound Cake and Whipping Cream.

Gramma distracted her with a few rousing renditions of 'This Little Piggy Went to Market'...

Then while I tidied up in the kitchen, Makenna had time with her Grampa....

My boys disappeared downstairs to play hockey... 

that's my boys!

Then the girls settled in to read their books...

...while my husband joined me in the kitchen to help with the washing up.

Sigh... was there ever a more contented woman than I?

 My cup runneth over.
