Re: KIDS OF THE PAST AND PRESENT IN THEIR EASTER BEST

Great pictures.  Depending what the weather was forecasted for Easter determined whether I would get an Easter suit or an Easter coat.  Always prayed for nice weather so I would get a suit.  Easter was when I would get colored pantented leather small heels.  The Easter parade would be on the beach where everyone would show off their finest.  I remember one year wearing those heels and had to call my father to come pick us up.  Those first time heels were too much for us.  Nice memories.

 Such a trip down memory lane.  One year I had marching hats with my two sisters 🥰

 

How fashion has changed.

Re: KIDS OF THE PAST AND PRESENT IN THEIR EASTER BEST

I have a black and white photo framed that sits on the end table next to where I watch t.v. on the couch.  It is Easter Sunday at my grandmother's after church in 1963.  My mom is holding my brother only 3 months old and Daddy is holding me 15 months old.  That hat on my Mom's head makes me smile every time I look over at it.

Wonderful stories of Easter kids, thanks posters.

 

A few extra images-- after all, in many places, Easter Monday is also observed.

 

Two amazing old photos of Edwardian children at an Easter party:

That must have been a cold Easter-- cute little coats.

Illustrated children dressed up on antique Easter cards and postcards were also enchanting--

Was there an Easter egg hunt on the White House lawn this weekend?


No. Its today. Nothing says Easter like an egg hunt after the holiday. Here's hoping the kids are kept safe.

The two girls in the front of the pic of the White House Easter Egg Hunt look like the Bush twins, Jenna and Barbara. When Grand Father was President - could be?
