Easter: Getting dressed in your Easter best. As a little girl I always had a Easter bonnet. It was white with a mauve ribbon and tiny little yellow, mauve and white flowers. My dress was mostly white, a mauve sash, with a crinoline. Small ankle high socks. Soft white leather shoes (the ones with the 2 straps that over lapped a strap coming up the middle). And of course, wrist length little white gloves. 4 brothers and sisters..we always got (and only got)a Laura Secord Egg in the yellow box with rabbits on it. We would to go Grandma's and Grandpa's home in Toronto. Those are my memories of Easter as a child.
I like to take the small chocolate bunnies that are flat on one side and smear peanut butter on the back with a knife. The cheap chocolate laced with gobs of confectioners sugar works well with the flavor of peanut butter.
My granny used to make a lammy cake. It looked like a sitting lamb with white swirly or coconutty frosting. Grandma always used pink jelly beans for eyes. I think that was supposed to make the lamb look albino, but it really just made him look posessed. I think they sell those in the Jewel bakery but the prices are highway robbery. I had a lammy cake pan but it got lost too. Anyway, it wasn't the flavor of the cake, or the fact that it's cake. It was the trouble Grandma took to make us a cute and special cake every year instead of just buying a round one.

My memories from when I was a small child are of making easter houses, usually of stone and some bits of wood, and then building a fire inside to boil eggs. All the younger kids would sit around the fire telling jokes or singing songs while they waited for the eggs to boil. My mother usually wanted to keep the mess of egg shells and kids out of the house that day.
