Bunnies + Eggs + Snow...oh my!!

I hope you all had a fun Easter celebration! We had kind of a crazy week and weekend, as I had been assigned by the New York Post last Wednesday to photograph the town of Underhill, Vermont, where Captain Richard Phillips and his family live. Each day I drove to Underhill to cover the story and await good news about the Captain, but decided on Sunday to stay home with the family unless a miracle happened and he was freed. Well a miracle did happen...during brunch at our place (and a couple mimosas in) I received a call with the wonderful news! So another post will cover more on that, but this post is the fun times with my family and friends that we celebrated with, before that excitement...

Our Paas Boom or Easter Tree

Ooops, busted...Summer caught me taking a photo (from Saturday)...

this one kills me...
Sunday morning Easter hunt with the family...


I'm pretty sure it's a law that it snows on Easter in Vermont. I love these photos Andy took of Summer...

Yeti scored a nice stick from the hunt.
The bunny hid the big baskets really well this year. Everyone was frozen solid by the time the kids found them.

The kids had some help sorting their loot. : )
Friends came over for brunch and brought these amazing scones....
and Champagne and fresh squeezed O.J. for Mimosas.

We ran out of Contreau for the Mimosas, but I had some stashed in the cupboard. Phew!!

My friend Kim planned an egg hunt for the kids which involved eggs with clues and a prize at the end...Ready, set...
Go!!
