Easter a la Shirley!

Shirley came for a visit & we were able to convince her to join us for supper too! I made it worth her while with extra desser to take home! I'm not above a little sweet talking & bribery :)
She generously gave the girls some Easter goodies and they were thrilled to find their chocolate sheep in bubble wrap. For once the chocolate was set aside (and temporarily forgotten about!) and they had fun popping bubbles.
They also each received a game. Shirley initially mentioned that she could give me the sales slips if the items weren't right or didn't suit etc. After they made her play everything twice, I think she realized I wouldn't need to be doing any exchanges whatsoever. She was right on the money with these selections. Sweetie is in LOVE with her dominoes, mostly because they came in a hot pink satin box trimmed with matching satin ribbon!
a fairy game is always perfect for little girls and Honey couldn't have been happier with collecting all the right cards and making new "fairy friends".I forget what it said on Lovey's box but it's basically the game of Trouble from when we were kids. I love that you can't lose the dice! and everybody loves popping that bubble thing to roll for your turn! Murray was playing and left the room and they all ganged up on his men and bumped them all! (and found it quite hilarious to send them all home!!)

Thank you for coming to see us and sharing our supper! We enjoyed having you and hope your sweet treat erases all the craziness of the dinner hour! You can just munch away and maybe all that icing will block out the messy parts????? or is that part of our charm???? :))))
