Happy Magical Easter

HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE!

Did the Easter bunny come visit you?

He visited the good boys and girls of Lollipop Lane

Leaving them all kinds of candy and sweets.

And he hid the easter eggs...

the children spent the day going to church in their new pretty outfits

hunting for eggs

and spoiling there dinners with all their Easter day treats. 

I miss the excitement of easter when I was a little girl. 

A new dress, a basket full of candy, and day spent with your family

and grandma's fresh baked rolls with homemade jam.

Oh, look at my saddle shoes. They are too cute.

I should get myself a pair.

hehe, isn't my hubby a total cute-t-pie?

Oh how I loved my candy stripped dress.

Seems more christmas than Easter 

My little sister and I always had matching dresses

I loved when they where just a little bit different in style

Made me feel special to have a big girls dress

I found this sweet Easter dress at the Goodwill Outlet store

a couple weeks ago

(and THANK YOU Elizabeth of Creative Breathing 

for the pink and yellow hangers you so kindly sent me)

Oh how I dream that it was in my size

I was so sad when I no longer received a new dress for Easter

Growing up can be very unfair that way

But the most magical and unexpected package arrived at my door step yesterday

  The most BEAUTIFUL Easter Dress 

was sent to me by an Angel I am sure

Bobbie of Creative Life Diary 

most sweetly sent me this gorgeous dress "just because"!

I am so flattered and well there is simply not words to express

my joy and gratitude!

THANK YOU Bobbie for your friendship

 and for sending me childlike joy and making this Easter unexpectedly magical!!!

 

I also received another sweet easter package yesterday

I've never had to go pick up a package at the post office

my curiosity for what it might be was overwhelming

Just in time for Easter

my Easter Bonnet Parade award from Scrappy Jessi

so whimsical ~ Thank YOU!

So sadly for the second year and in a row I have not colored eggs 

It's just not that fun to do it by yourself :(

When I asked hubby if he wanted to color them with me 

he laughed!

But I did make some cupcakes for this afternoons Easter dinner

I'm not really that into baking but once in a while I give it a try

Nothing to fancy, just a out of the box kind of day

but I made my own frosting with fresh strawberries

and decorated them with candy grass, malt eggs, rainbow sprinkles, and tapioca sprinkles from the Japanese import store

Well this post has taken a year to put together

so I better leave the computer and embrace the day

I only wish the rain would go away...

Make sure you stop by Paper Cakes Finds tomorrow

for my first ever contribution to Chelsea Ling's beautiful blog

Hugs~
