I love, love, LOVE Easter! It's my most favorite holiday! I love Easter eggs and all the pastel colors A LOT! Dave picked up on this quickly and gave me an Easter basket he put together on Easter 2010, not long after we were engaged; a very sweet thing to do :o)
This year, he surprised me with another Easter basket and a beautiful bouquet of flowers.
(Sorry... I didn't realize I forgot to rotate the pic until AFTER I got it uploaded and am too lazy to fix it... ;o)
A month or so, Dave had gone up to Pennsylvania for his grandmother's funeral. He and his family stopped at the Josh Early Candy Factory. He knows that I don't eat brown chocolate, but they had white chocolate and he bought some to put in my Easter basket. (Thinking ahead! What a man!) He bought some white chocolate Easter eggs and a white chocolate alligator (it was pretty cute :o).
I popped one of the eggs in my mouth and instantly almost gagged. It did NOT taste like white chocolate! It tasted just like a Hershey's milk chocolate egg. What the?!? I was nervous to eat the alligator after that and so Dave tasted a little bit of it. He said it definitely tasted different than the eggs so I decided to try it. It was so way WHITE chocolate flavor!
So, what I want to know is why the difference?! Why would you make white chocolate that tastes like brown chocolate? Kinda the same idea as milk. If I wanted chocolate milk flavor, I would drink brown chocolate milk, but when I drink white milk, I expect it to taste like un-contaminated milk! I mean really!
Ok, enough of that! It's really not THAT big of a deal...
On the day before Easter, I had been planning to go over to a friend's house to color Easter eggs, which I love, love, love to do! Plans fell through, so I was slightly disappointed. Dave doesn't enjoy coloring Easter eggs as much as I do, so after the plans fell through, I accepted the fact that this year I was NOT going to color Easter eggs. Sad, but not life-altering.
Later that evening, Dave said, "Aren't we coloring eggs tonight?" I was like, "What?!?" He said he knew how much it meant to me and he agreed to color eggs with me. What a husband! :o) So, I boiled some eggs and we colored eggs.
Let the record show, Mr. I-Don't-Dye-Easter-Eggs was a much, much, much more creative egg-dyer than I was. lol Here's a cute bunny he drew with that amazing magic crayon that comes in all the cool boxes of egg dye; check out the tail!
So, here is a pic of us in the VW bug convertible he was restoring :o)
And, here is a baby chick hatching out of a beautiful green egg:
Don't forget that you can't see what you're drawing when you draw with the magic crayon on the outside of the egg. Isn't Dave an amazing egg artist?! I sure think so! And back off ladies, because he is so way TAKEN! :o) lol
I LOVE EASTER!!! (and the man who makes all my Easter dreams come true!)
