Easter Sunday

 Our Easter centerpiece. Usually this is the part that gets enjoyed before Church, 

But since we didn't have far to go for church today the girls got to enjoy the centerpiece....

 PLUS their baskets this morning (rather than waiting until after we got home from church)! 

Putting their Easter baskets together each year is one of my most favorite traditions. 

 Grace said to me: "I bet I'll love doing this for my children too, mama!"
I  have a feeling she will love it just as much as I do! 

 All dressed up for Easter worship! We figured we might as well since we had bought dresses before social distancing was part of our vocabulary. 

Dave decided that he'd wear his comfy pants as part of his Easter outfit this year! Very fitting given the pandemic going on! 

 Even Gretchen joined us for worship! 

Facebook Live Church. 

Sporting our Easter finest (thanks to Aunt Gail!) for some carousela making (more on this tomorrow). 

They came out so good!

After we baked there was Jesus Christ Superstar watching and quiet time and a family walk down the Rail Trail. When we got home, the girls played outside, I got a workout in and then we had Easter dinner. 

It was a truly lovely Easter Sunday. xo 

On Easter Sunday Morning

Our Easter Sunday began at church (as all our Easter Sunday's do)! 

My dear friend Susan and I looked so cute in our coordinated (and unplanned) outfits we had to make sure to get a picture!  

Flowering the new cross (that Dave made) prior to worship beginning. 

The guys moved it up and turned it around for the big reveal once worship started! 

 Absolutely gorgeous! Such a beloved tradition! 

 Some post-worship flowering. 

 Oops, we blocked the cross! 

 Our traditional Easter family picture! This one may be my favorite one yet! 

A perfect start to our Easter Sunday! There's nowhere else we'd rather be! xo

Happy Easter!

Wishing those celebrating today the happiest and most blessed of Easter Sundays! xo

 It was a glorious (albeit chilly) Easter Sunday! If you were celebrating this weekend we hope that your day as a lovely and joyous as ours! xo

What a glorious Easter Sunday! Amazing weather, a beautiful worship service, lots of time spent outside, Easter baskets filled with all sorts of new favorite things ("The fairies are the best, mama!") new additions to their fairy village (thanks Gramma Terri and Grandpa Gene!), and a very delicious meal made for an absolutely perfect day! xo
