We've already covered that March wasn't my high point of blogging - but it was eventful! Easter morning started the way many mornings do... making an extra large pot of coffee and pouring with a big thermos. Except that this morning, the coffee smell made me gag. I hadn't been feeling well at all for days (which is not at all unusual in India), but NEVER have I not been able to drink coffee...except...that one time... when...I was...uh... pregnant with Caden...
A morning test confirmed the very unexpected news...Caden was going to be a big brother, and my plans for Easter (aka champagne) brunch were about to change dramatically. Come to think of it, my entire (admittedly not totally healthy) lifestyle was about to change instantly and dramatically. No more drinking. No more smoking. Where in the world was I going to get healthy food?? My normally non-linear mind jumped singularly from behavior change to behavior change. But wait, this was good news, right?!?
Luckily the rest of the day brought busy distraction...Amber, Abhi and Roshan hosted a fantastic Easter egg hunt and muffin breakfast for all of us. I am continuously awed by Amber's seemingly effortless domestic skills... a totally fun time for all, complete with candy and plastic eggs with prizes. Super well done - thanks!!
The kids eagerly awaited the official start...
Then raced into the yard to find the much anticipated rewards...
Everyone ended with full baskets and big smiles!!
But lest we stop there, brunch was right around the corner (ok a 45 minute drive around the corner at Taj West)...where we met up with another 20 or so folks to enjoy brunch. While I carried a half glass of champagne around the whole time (quite sadly), the food was fantastic as usual with lots of good choices and the kids had a blast playing and getting covered head to toe in glitter...
An eventful day, and the end of my blogging for a month as sleep took priority and partying took a backseat. But Happy Easter - I guess those eggs really are a pagan symbol of fertility! :)
