Easter at our Home

I hope all of you had a wonderful Easter celebration!  Ours started with breakfast and Easter baskets for Colette and Max, then off to church for worship!  I always love the joyfulness of Easter morning at church...the praises sung for salvation!

Then everyone came to our house for the rest of the day.  Colette arranged the flowers for the table (Trader Joe's comes through every time with a great selection), and I did the place settings.  Easter's a great time to bring out my odds-and-ends pieces of Beatrix Potter pieces too.








Our Easter egg hunt was indoors this year, as it was a chilly day, and the outdoors is still a mixture of snow and spongy-wet earth.  Theo got the idea of egg hunting right away.  The littlest one, Nora, was content to hold one or two and shake them to hear the fishie crackers inside.  And Melissa was positively enchanting as she tiptoed about looking in vain, then spotting one, she would pitter-patter, pitter-patter to it in triumph, proclaiming, "I found one!"




Posing for a picture...three children ages four and under...always a fun adventure!

  1. I love a beautifully set table...and your Easter table is certainly one of those! I enjoyed these peeks at your Easter celebration (including your darling grands who look so much alike).
