Happy Easter 2010!

By Laurie | April 4, 2010

I’m pretty sure I have mentioned this before, but Easter was one of my most favorite childhood holidays. I have a ton of really wonderful memories.

We usually spent it at my Grandma’s house, and I remember coloring eggs on her kitchen counter. We always had an Easter egg hunt with actual eggs, and there would be a contest between my brother and I. There was a prize for the one of us that collected the most, and for the one that found the “Golden Egg.” Somehow we each always won one or the other, so we both got a prize. Funny how that worked out, huh?

My Grandma would make lamb with mint jelly and we’d have a big fabulous homemade meal.

Today we spent the holiday with my parents. We had brunch and went to a movie. Dave and I have made each other a basket every year too, which is a tradition we started when we were dating. My basket was filled with lots of yummy things, the New Moon DVD, and some cute Hello Kitty toys. You can’t see it all, but I promise it was all wonderful, especially the Chocolate Covered Peep. I also got some gorgeous purple tulips from my mom and dad.

Even though we never have fancy plans, I always like to buy a new dress. This year it is from the Liberty of London for Target line. In case you didn’t know, peacock prints are in. Personally I liked it because it has a lot of layers and it is fun to spin in. I’d like to think I would have spun around like a little girl at my Grandma’s house.

Hope y’all had a great holiday with your families too.
