[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 351840, member: 805"] For years I've had a big Easter dinner at my house. For years, and I mean about 17, I had tons of folks - usually bordering on 25-30 over - including a big Easter Egg hunt for the kids. With the aging of the kids and many away at college or moved away for work, it had dwindled a little the last few years to just a little family and a couple close friends. This year I took a break - at least I thought it was a break. I decided to just do a nice Easter dinner for difficult child and easy child. So I started in the kitchen about 2:30 and just cleaned the last dish at 6:30! No wonder I stopped doing formal dining room dinners! We ended up with a boneless leg of lamb, green beans, a new potato recipe I saw on tv this week, rolls, and deviled eggs. I set the dining room table with my crystal, china and silver. I had forgotten what a chore it was! The kids enjoyed it though and it was nice to just sit with the two of them. difficult child ate the lamb and loved it, which was a big surprise! We've dessert yet to go but we are all stuffed and are going to start a movie shortly. I had just forgotten how much work a big formal dinner is. There is something to be said for downsizing and casual eating! It looked lovely though...... Hope your day was peaceful. Sharon [/QUOTE]
