An Easter to Remember

For Palm Sunday, we celebrated in Nashville with Tina and fam. Kristen and Kullen gave us the sweetest card and cute Easter baskets filled with candy--princesses for me and Superman for Bryan. Our Easter week was off to a great start--fun surprises and time with family! 

Easter day was low-key with our friend Andy coming over for lunch. Ah yes, lunch; that's an interesting story. Going against logic, prior experience, and the entirety of my cook book collection, I stuffed (literally) a l-a-r-g-e roast into the crock pot. Next, in genius fashion, I slid a few potatoes and carrots down the sides, hoping to fit them. With the lid barely on, I switched the "on-high" knob. I remember telling Bryan, "This is going to be all over the counter when we get back, and I bet it won't be cooked." Sure enough, I was right. After a panicky clean-up and hurried problem-solving, Bryan put the roast in the oven and headed to Albertson's to purchase chicken. I quickly peeled potatoes and steamed some broccoli. Thank goodness Andy was easy-to-please and not too offended! 

Easter 2010? Can we say "brunch reservations"?
