Easter


Easter was pretty low key for in the Ratto household this year. There were fewer hopping rabbits than one might have hoped for and no hidden easter baskets nor that plastic green grass that you find around your house for the rest of the year. But we still managed to color eggs with our last minute dye kit (only 74 cents on sale!!) on Saturday in just enough time use them for deviled for dinner the next day . See the picture and try to guess which one is mine! to make it easier, if they look good then it probably is not mine. Sunday morning we let Rachel play with a couple of the eggs for a photo opp and she proceeded to smash them together till they broke so we had to quickly take them away. The good news is that we know that she has reached the caveman phase of development (eggs fill in for the rocks) so she is coming along nicely and is still cute. Just look at her; it doesn't get much cuter then that.

That evening we went over to the Stevenson's for dinner taking with us some deviled eggs (pretty tasty), our favorite salad (really tasty), and some of Michelle's soon-to-be award winning chocolate chip cheesecake (worth the extra inch on your waste line). They did the ham and rolls (both excellent) and it made for an enjoyable easter meal. Sara volunteered to be our photographer and snapped a couple pictures of us. We actually look pretty good so I think that Sara has some untapped potential in the world of photography.

Look! It's us! Cute Easter dress, beautiful wife, and the luckiest man in the world.

Smooch!
