Easter Celebration

I hope each of you had a very blessed Easter yesterday! Here are some pics of this past week leading up to Easter:

My friend, Katie Joy, and I visited the Dallas Arboretum!

These pictures don't do it justice, cause it was absolutely

breathtaking! (more on this in a later post)

Beautiful ornamental peach tree

Every year growing up we would make a

"resurrection scene" inside of a pan using

sticks, rocks, dirt and flowers to remember the

death of Christ and celebrate His resurrection.

Here is my very simple display using

a pie pan, smooth stones and wooden sticks.

I made a Spring wreath for the front door using

blown eggs (some painted, some plain) ribbon,

craft grass, and satin material. I think it turned

out pretty well! ;)

It was hard to get the speckles on the eggs to look authentic,

but I think they look alright, considering the difficulty

I went through..ha!

My Easter egg tree. I filled half of the slots with

green and yellow eggs and the other slots I placed

my white egg cups with peach geranium blossoms

peeking out. Such pretty little flowers.

My green bunny dish. So cute

and vintage-looking. ;)

~Celebrating Passover~

Every year our family gets together the Thursday

before Easter to observe and consider the death and burial

of Jesus Christ. This year was no different and my Mother

made this beautiful (and delicious!) strawberry cake to

add a sweet ending to our very sweet and special

time together.

My sister Greta holding my sweetest little

nephew, Levi. I think he's still trying to figure out

what to do when someone says "smile!"

Such a cutie!

Hubby Matthew, in all his

bearded glory. Ha!

Beautiful flowers for a beautiful table setting.

Me and the hubby ;)

Happy Easter!
