Austin and I had such a sunny, lovely Easter Sunday. After church, we trained up to 5th ave around Rockefeller Center to check out the Easter Day parade/bonnet festival with our friends the Rileys.
The bonnet tradition started because church goers would leave from St. Patrick's and Saint Thomas' on Easter Sunday wearing their Sunday best and congregate on the street. It has (d)evolved into people walking around showing off their best or, most outrageous Easter garb.
After a stroll through Central Park we came home and made a huge dinner: turkey roast, mashed potatoes and gravy, au gratin vegetables and a pear and Gorgonzola spinach salad. We finished off with some white chocolate and raspberry Haagan Dazs ice cream.
I didn't really grow up with egg hunts or Easter bunny things. My family always made a really nice Sunday dinner and enjoyed a piece of chocolate from my parents. Though I did go to Kmart on Monday and stacked up on 50% off Easter candy!
