Buttering Me Up!

Yesterday my friend Joan W. of the Mid-Atlantic made a Facebook post about the lamb butter sculptures she places (and her family decapitates) on her yearly Easter table. I was maximumly intrigued, I had never heard of this tradition but I knew it was a MUST for us to start. Since I had to work the holiday this year I begged my talented hubby to consider starting our own butter sculpture tradition in 2011, leaving him a year to study an array of traditional Butter Lamb images and to ponder his approach.

But(ter) wouldn't you know, today I came home from work to find this:

Baa baa butter sheep,
Have you any butter?
Yes'm, yes'm,
Two sticks worth...

(Sung to the tune of Baa Baa Black Sheep---a nursery rhyme Wally claims to never've heard, where is he from???)

Is it not my Easter Butter Lamb gorgeous!!! I am so happy, I think she looks butterer than any of the Butter Lambs on the website. Thanks, Hunny! Best Easter Day surprise ever!
