Easter started for us with a wonderful house warming party at Brett's on Good Friday. The best part for the kids? Not the lively company, great food and morning at Balmoral beach, but the chance to ride, not once but twice in a Maxi Taxi to Brett's place in Paddington.
After a suitable amount of house trashing, screaming in fear at Brett's tiny dog Lola and cuddles with Brett's NZ mum Lynne (pronounced Lun), we returned home to prepare for the arrival of the Easter Bunny.
Easter Sunday dawned and the EB had left a generous deposit of chocolate which, against our better judgement, we allowed the kids to start eating at breakfast time. Thus fed, we caught the tram to the fish market for breakfast of coffee and hot pastries and to buy a 4kg salmon to stuff with lemons, fennel seeds and herbs.
By 2pm the house was full with the Flemings, the Langs, the Dodds and Luke Atkinson and we sat down to a long relaxed lunch. Numerous Easter egg hunts kept the kids entertained for the entire day which meant they ate little but chocolate.
The evening ended in tears for Scarlett who woke hours after bedtime with a terrible tummy ache that could only be fixed with pain killers.
