I thought they were pink, too.<br />There is some legend about a princess falling in love with the wrong boy and feared that they would kill him so she dressed up like him (or something like that) and she ended up dying. According to the legend, her blood made some of the trees pink. That is a very loose interpretation of the story I was told on Thursday. We actually have cherry blossom trees in our neighborhood, I just didn't know what they were. Last year we went way late into the season so the leaves were already starting to show on the branches. This year we went on "peak" bloom day.<br /><br />We colored eggs, too.<br />No cupcakes, though. I haven't used a pastry bag before. I think it does take practice to make it look pretty.<br />Ugh, I ate way too many jelly beans today.<br /><br />Happy Easter.Alisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13525780741420745603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7934244054499048495.post-79790166098497050962010-04-03T19:06:37.725-04:002010-04-03T19:06:37.725-04:00If you created a joint Snapfish account, then you ...If you created a joint Snapfish account, then you could upload pics and your mom could order them as she wished. <br /><br />I, too, loved the pictures. Why did I think cherry blossoms were pink? Who knows? Looks like you had a great day, but I would have wanted to see the White House, too. <br /><br />We colored Easter Eggs today, and made some really strange decorated cupcakes. Mom and I tried these cupcakes but using a piping bag is just really hard. I'll get better at it, I suppose.Sissyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05831098254614285216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7934244054499048495.post-57008405769115899132010-04-03T07:25:53.529-04:002010-04-03T07:25:53.529-04:00I thought you were trying to be French or somethin...I thought you were trying to be French or something....since you're so cultured and all. ;) You are a very good grandma, anyway. <br />Noe, whether or not I'm a good mom is debatable. Caroline found my jelly bean stash yesterday. And she was all "how long have you had these?" and "why didn't you tell me?" Um. I don't know.<br />We're going to an easter egg hunt this morning and then we have to buy more eggs because I only have 6 to boil and that's not enough when you've got egg coloring to do.<br />I'm glad dad likes the pix, because, as you know, I never send you real pictures, even when you ask routinely! I figure blogging about it makes up for my negligence.<br /><br />Have fun in Me-he-co. Bon Voyage! Or whatever the Spanish equivilent is!Alisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13525780741420745603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7934244054499048495.post-78964575087182660222010-04-03T06:53:17.467-04:002010-04-03T06:53:17.467-04:00That should be TRUE confessions.....it's early...That should be TRUE confessions.....it's early and I'm old.nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06461120006587640557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7934244054499048495.post-74603269897064761752010-04-03T06:52:31.611-04:002010-04-03T06:52:31.611-04:00You're getting--you ARE--quite good at your ph...You're getting--you ARE--quite good at your photo documentary blog posting stuff.

If she grows up to be a Neurotic Housewife II, I want it to be your fault, not mine.<br />;)<br />So.....a card shall be in the mail today.nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06461120006587640557noreply@blogger.com
