for those that celebrate it, religiously or just via chocolate, Happy Easter!
I live large, any reason to celebrate I'm there

. My parents didn't roll quite the same way, not the type to make a fuss or 'waste $'. They had no such niceities growing up, so it was likely a stretch for them to begin with lol. I always had an easter basket, new hate/dress/purse for Mass and nice meal but it was more low key.
Let's just say i have turkey #2 in the oven and need need to hide the baskets & the eggs. If it makes them happy, I'm happy KWIM?
Yep, she's had dark blue, that was actually hard to see, then a blond strip, but I think that's pretty grown out too now. Yeah, she's a teen. Remember that.

Very common here. I'm all for expressing one's self via their hair. GD had hers done with two teal chunks last year. You can still see them if you squint. Not sure why her virgin hair grabbed the color so.
I've never had an official Easter dinner, unless merely eating dinner on Easter counts. We do the egg/candy hunts but that's about it for Easter. I didn't even realize other people had Easter dinner until I went to Catholic high school due to our public high school being so bad. (Actually, I didn't realize it was a religious holiday until middle school when I learned why most of my friends couldn't come over to play that day. That was when I lived in Massachusetts - my kids knew pretty much all along since we were in South Carolina). Since Sunday is two days away, I haven't a clue what we're having for dinner that day. Tonight is Publix fried chicken though - so nice and easy! I'll still likely serve three different fruits/veggies with it, but that doesn't take much prep.
Have a good evening Schumi! That will make dealing with the rain more fun.
Did realize the south didn't do it up, interesting. Larger % of kids now in parochial school aren't catholic. Many parishioners can't afford it if middle class since the tuition is often equivalent to state colleges. They do cut breaks for those with multiple kiddos.
Carole - meringues/Palova?

You are skilled! I was starting to think the pregnancy was a hoax. Still scarred after watching the human momma to be with the giraffe head video.
Hello everyone. Just stopping by to say HI! We have been extremely busy lately not sure if we are coming or going. Lol
Boy I have missed a lot here. PC we just got an email the other day about our AP renewal and we renew in May.
Hope everyone is doing well. I'm hoping to slow down a little so we can enjoy time with our family. Going to have a nice Easter dinner at my parents house. My whole family hasn't been together in a while. It's hard when everyone is grown up and has a life of their own.
Well I'm going to get some sleep. I'll leave the lights on for the night owls here.
Hey stranger! Enjoy. Seems early for the letter. I'm hoping to slide the mr in before the inevitable price increase. Will look for that piece of mail. He's in June or July, i need to check haha.
Still haven't bothered to sign up on the 'new' AP site. Wonder if that's mandatory?
