Our Easter Dinner

Since we have been married, Kyle and I have had a formal Easter Dinner at our house every year. Growing up, my dad would have a HUGE Easter celebration at our house with about 300 people coming over all day. We have decided to keep up the tradition, but on a MUCH smaller scale. So, each year we have different family and friends come. This year was a lot of fun. I cooked my very first turkey at home! Here are some of the highlights from this years formal Easter dinner.

This pic below is the Easter guests this year. Back row: Paul, Kathie, Noell, Kalli, Baby
Middle row: Kyle, Karen holding Konnor, Nana, Janae holding Chase.
Front row: Kaylee, Miles, Taylor, Noa
Easter triple chocolate cake. Green coconut and chocolate glaze.
My 2 handsome men! I love Konnor's tie, if I don't say so myself. :)
Here are the place settings. (lovely folding chairs from my neighbors)
Here are the name place settings. Peanut butter eggs with frosting names.Kaylee with candy mouth, drooling at the chocolate cake. (She is trying to show her innocence and plead her case of why she needs a piece of cake) :)
Thanks to everyone that came. It was a lot of fun!
