Resurrection Rave

Err...is that sacrilegious?  At our impromptu Easter dinner, I had a conversation with a friend about the inappropriate use of "Easter" as connected to Jesus' resurrection since it's a name completely and totally associated with a pagan holiday.  We brainstormed about a better name and decided Resurrection Sunday, what our church uses, is probably best.  But our dinner wasn't on Sunday, it was a Saturday night party.  So, Resurrection Rave it is. :) 

Matching Easter Eggs

And no party is complete without theme desserts!  Mini-cheesecake Easter baskets and no-bake birds' nests.

Some light, after-dinner reading.

Friends who do dishes are friends indeed.

And to all a good night.

It was a great evening and a good reminder in the midst of this family holiday that family is also who you choose to surround yourself with.  And we've got a great one out here.
