Easter Bags

It's that time of year - instead of baskets the kids get their traditional 'bags'.  Johanna's is the biggest one in purple and yellow/pink stripe, Nick's has tropical parrots on it, Olivia's has cute gardening scenes, Johnathon's has camping and fishing scenes, Ben's is a blue print.

They all have candy in them but then something personal.  Each adult got a homemade dish/wash cloth.  Ben got a nice leather pair of work gloves, Nick got a couple polo shirts, Johanna got the makings of her favorite salad dressing and a new stainless steel bowl and whisk, Olivia got a tea mug and tea, and Johnathon got colors and a coloring book.

Here's a recipe I'm thinking of trying that my friend, Sandy, gave me:

Cherry Salad
1 can cherry pie filling
1 can pineapple, drained
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1 carton cool whip.

Stir together and refrigerate.

Our menu for Easter Dinner, which we are having Saturday is as follows:

Ham
Mashed Potatoes and Gravy
Asparagus
Pea Casserole
7 Layer Salad
Roasted Chicken (if Olivia will be joining us)
Cheesecake
