Joyeuses Pâques!
(Smokey se trompe de déguisement… et de fête aussi…)
(Smokey mixes up the costumes… and the holiday, too…)
Braise (left): Mon fils… My son….
Smokey (right): C'est moi-même. That's me.
Braise: Quand je t'ai demandé d'aller chercher les déguisements… When I asked you to go and get the costumes….
…Je voulais dire LES OREILLES DE LAPIN. I meant the BUNNY EARS.
Braise: "Hula Girls," c'est pour le 31 October. "Hula Girls" is for October 31st.

TOO OLD FOR AN EASTER BASKED OR CHOCOLATE BUNNY TO BITE THE EARS OFF. YOUR OFFERING FOR TODAY WAS A GREAT SURPRISE. GLAD TO SEE THE FOUR LEGGED MEMBERS OF THE FAMILY ARE IN GOOD SHAPE.
HAPPY EASTER,

Okay, I am going to have to call the cuteness police. Those photos are off the adorable charts!
I agree partly with Gus, that your post is like that bite of chocolate bunny ear.
Thank you for tucking this nice surprise into our baskets.
Bonnes Paques a vous tous.

Dear Kristin,
Your post put a smile on my face! Merci! I will share with my grandboys! It came at a most opportune moment as we had quite a scare this morning! No chat. We couldn’t find our precious Cleo anywhere!
After a thorough search, and looking out in the garage for a third time, she appeared. She must have been enjoying a sleep in kind of morning this Easter Sunday!
Have a beautiful day and spring to you and your lovely family!

Thank you for the wonderful Easter messages. Gus–PLEASE have a chocolate Easter bunny for me. Maybe Paulette has one for you… hidden in the mailbox? 🙂 I swear I see a virtual one there for you… from all of us here. Happy Easter to all and for those who do not celebrate — enjoy your Sunday and thanks for reading.

I am not sure Smokey could have handled the bunny ears! “Flowers in your hair” is appropiate. Happy Bunny!

Happy Easter Everyone! It happens my Birthday has fallen on Easter this year. Since I’m fortunate enough to call Kauai home, I’m going to imagine “Hula Smokey” and “Hula Braise” dancing Hula on two legs as a special Birthday surprise … complete with a “herd” of Easter Bunnies sipping Domaine Rouge Bleu as their audience. Bet you didn’t know Smokey plays ukulele!
Aloha & Happy Easter!

Oh, Kristin, you are such a beautiful delightful gal and thank you for decorating the babies for us to enjoy. Hope they did not mind too terribly. You are better than the a easter basket, more slimming and real. Hope your Easter was peaceful, beautiful and serene and that Jean Marc remembered with a prezzie. Blessings , j

Joyeux Anniversaire Anniversaire, Bill Facker! Braise and Smokey are indeed doing the hula dance for you, with Smokey managing the Ukulele. His song is a little off-tune, but all our voices round it out in one charismatic chorus of Happy Birthday.

Thank you Kristi for the scrumptious pics of Smokey and Braise. What a treat to find them in my mailbox! Hope you and your family are having a wonderful Easter with JM.
Gus-I hope you’re having some kind of special treat today! Mark and Pat-those hot cross buns sound great, I’ve never had them. Georgia, I’m so glad you found Cleo-what a relief! Happy Birthday Bill! Holidays are often difficult for me so it was so nice to check in with FWAD (I was intending to reread some from this past week) and see all of these new messages. Thanks everyone for the surprise and for always making my days brighter. 🙂
