Food and Family pics from Good Friday

For breakfast on this special day, we had Crown-of-Thorns Pancakes...

 (Topped with peanut butter and pretzel pieces, if that's not clear...)

 Then in the afternoon we made Hot Cross Buns to remind us of the cross...

 ... and took them to share with some cousins!

We got together with the Clarks and the Dreschers at Dan and Amy's house....  The funny thing was -- Dan and Amy weren't even there.  They're at the beach, so the Clarks are staying at their house to dog-sit, and Karin and I figured it would be fun to bring our clans over to visit -- since that is the site of the very best playroom in the land.

Thanks, Dan and Amy, for being such good sports and (absent) hosts!  :)  Next time it will be more fun, though, if you stay home for our impromptu parties at your house...
