Easter Memories

Easter has always been a special time with family. I want to share with you a few of my favorite Easter memories.

My Aunt Lynda would hand paint these beautiful china eggs and give them to us each Easter as were growing up. 

They are such special treasures that I enjoy getting out each Easter. She is so talented.

Easter always makes me think of my Uncle Jerry (my Aunt Lynda's husband, my dad's brother). He went to heaven in April of 2009.  He was such a special person to me and my family. He was a big kidder, always had a story to tell, and always made me feel so important to him.

When I was little he would take me shopping on my birthday to buy a new dress. He came to every dance recital, beauty pageant and special event we had going on. He was also the one I was with when I killed my first deer. He and Aunt Lynda would always hide the Easter eggs each year at Grandmama's house. Grandmama would have an amazing spread of food that she and Aunt Lynda prepared that seemed effortless.

So those are a few special memories I hold dear to my heart of Easter. I look forward to making new memories with Owen and sharing with him some of the traditions I enjoyed. I hope that Easter lunch will look effortless to him and he has the joy of sharing these holidays with people that love him. 

Now...we have to get to dying Easter eggs : )
