Easter Sunday holds a few traditions in the Ingham household. Even without a lot of religion, we make it fun and I am the first to admit I have no clue how a bunny, jellybeans, eggs and candy are mixed in with any kind of Christianity - so in my usual fashion, I take the fun part.
We have for the past several years gone to the Sunday Brunch at the Oasis Cafe. They have lots of delicious items and several are vegetarian and so it works for our crowd. This year the party consisted of Meg DeAngelis, Mike Feehan and his lovely daughter, Olivia also Merline Leaming, Claudia Luttrell and Marian (Grandma) & Heather Ingham, Seema and me. A wonderful party of 9.
Now for the past several years since Bella was this little...
or 5 years old we have had an annual "drinking" contest that began with the above chocolate bunny!!!! Here is how the tradition got started. Marian had received the above bunny as a gift and brought it to brunch and said who wants it... well we all kind of looked around and in no time flat, Bella said lets have a drinking contest to see who WINS this bonus item. We did and guess who won...

Well if you guessed, Bella you would be correct. This is how the tradition started and continues to this day. This year Bella had plans with her immediate family BUT traditions are traditions and the contest continues.

Seema taking this very serious per usual..
I think Mike isn't even trying and Heather has an eye on Meg & Claudia.
