Hi my friends,

 

This past weekend 45 friends & family gathered at my home to celebrate Easter.  It truly was a wonderful celebration full of tradition, gratitude, and the sounds of children's delight. 

 

We spent the week cooking, baking, & preparing our home for the celebration.  We baked many of my mom's traditional Easter dishes and carried on her tradition of hosting a fantastic Easter Egg Hunt . My mom always went overboard when it came to the holiday's and now that she has passed on, it's my turn to create these life long holiday memories, so this year the Easter Bunny hid 176 eggs in our yard.

 

In the end, we all enjoyed an afternoon of good food, lots of laughs, egg hunting, and pool time.  An important day of celebration surrounded with the one's we love. 

 

Life is great!  Please enjoy some of our captured moments.
