Home for the Holiday

I am so excited because I won't be working on Easter and will get to cook dinner for the family! Working for an airline has required me to miss all of the holidays for the past three years. I have really missed fixing the holiday meals and setting a nice table for all the family. Only one of our children and her family will be with us this year, but with grandma and my sister-in-law that will make nine at the table.

I have been having so much fun planning my tablescape. I am going with lavender since I have so many linens and things in that color already. I don't have enough chargers in one color so I think it will have to be placemats. Each guest will have a mini basket with candies and stuff. Then the three kids can search the yard for the 88 eggs I filled! Should be fun. Grandma can't eat ham, which is what I would prefer cooking, so I think I'll just roast a small turkey. Can't ever go wrong with turkey. And I found a yummy recipe for a pineapple, coconut cake that sounds perfect for dessert.

I can't wait till retirement so I can be home and cook for every holiday!
