Convergence

Easter! Spring! Outside!

What a delightful opportunity to get together with one's peeps, and have snacks.

Yum, snacks.

Featuring scungilli salad . . .

. . . smoked salmon with all the accoutrement . . .

. . . shrimp . . .

. . . some class of sausage . . .

. . . and a brand-spanking-new UConn Men- and Women- Championship t-shirt.

Go Huskies!

And Spring, you ask?

Oh, my people, it is here.

But wait! It wasn't just Easter. It was also our esteemed Eldest's birthday. A convergence of two major holidays.

MB was completely surprised by her Carvel ice cream cake. Except she wasn't. Not even a little bit. She was totally faking it. Because that is what we *do*. If it is our birthday, we pretend to be surprised, we eat Carvel ice cream cake, and then we don't have to help clean up the kitchen.

A Birthday Girl and Easter all in the same day.

A convergence of delightfulness.

    Your Ellens -- love that, MB! Love that last photo of the three of you too. And that you get to feign surprise at your Carvel ice cream cake. Every year. To get out of cleaning up the kitchen. But honestly, you DO look surprised in that photo in your pretty dress.

    You people sure know how to do a birthday easter celebration.

    Looks so lovely and delish, and I agree that the last two photos are simply superb. You are a very good actress, MB! Did you *really* not help clean up?

    I love everybody,

    Aw, you people are so sweet. Mom actually gave me that dress for my birthday last year! Love it. And Jacq, I did not clean up one bit! They wouldn't let me! xoxo
