Happy Easter!

It's close to being over - but today was Easter and it was a beautiful day.  I appreciated the fact that Easter was a little later in the date this year.  It gave our winter an opportunity to be over and help spring.

We got up this morning, got dressed, and wore nice pastels for church.  My hubby and son wore peach pin striped shirts.  Hubby had a light green tie with a faint white design and our son wore the same green in a T under his shirt.  I had a white dress with a scattered peach floral design and elbow length peach sweater and our daughter had a white dress with pink and lavender and a lavender elbow sweater.  I think it all went very well together. 

Our church had an Easter egg hunt for two age groups which consisted of 11,000+ eggs.  As we were leaving the kids seemed to really be enjoying themselves.

Well, gotta put some pictures in.  I gave both my kids (and dogs) an Easter basket.

Baylee's basket

Here was the real surprise in the Easter baskets:

#52 Clay Matthews jersey's - both were happy with these.

Now just some fun stuff that was around the house for decorating.

...and what is Easter without decorating a few eggs?

These were the easiest eggs ever.  Instead of boiling water.  Using a hard-boiled egg just simply pour vinegar over the egg, using a strainer, then pour the color over that.  It is amazing how well the color sticks.  More vibrant than I have ever had.

Hope you and yours had a fabulous Easter celebration and like the Christmas Season, took a few moments to focus on what the true meaning is all about.
