Our Easter Day 2023

 Before our family came over, I made up this tray. I used cookie cutters to give some of the candy shapes.

I made this Easter bark.

I got these unicorn baskets for the younger girls.

We played guessing games about how much candy was in clear jars.

I had found this kit for making a Peeps coop, and they made that.

The girls were excited!

They brought us these pretty carnations. None of the tulips in the stores had opened yet!

“Here’s for me the one big question: How do you get Crucifixion, Resurrection and then chocolate bunnies, colored eggs? How do you do that one? Even kids are going, ‘Rabbits don’t lay eggs. What is this?’” — Robin Williams

Easter Sunday 2023

 Wishing you a meaningful and wonderful Easter.

“The angel spoke to the women: “There is nothing to fear here. I know you’re looking for Jesus, the One they nailed to the cross. He is not here. He was raised, just as he said. Come and look at the place where he was placed.”

Matthew 28

The House

 You may remember the house nearby that gets re-painted and decorated for every holiday. Now here they are for Easter. They did not paint it again this time. They left it green from St. Patrick's Day. So, here they are for Easter.

Home is a place you grow up wanting to leave, and grow old wanting to get back to.

The Kitchen

 Here are a few of the things I put out in the kitchen for Easter.

The Living Room

 Time to post some of our Easter decorations. I'll post the living room today, and the kitchen later.

I tried this long table these two different ways, and couldn't decide which I like best.

I use these lavender boxes for storage, and they are pretty enough that I can keep them out. Found the matching gnome at Aldi.

I made this arrangement.

Palm Sunday 2023

Today was Palm Sunday, and our church was beautiful. A member had painted this to hang in the foyer.

She also used her artistic talents in the sanctuary.

Sunday Sunset
