Easter ~ a most blessed day

David and Erika hosted our Easter feast.

Good friends and family came together to celebrate our Lord's  Resurrection.

We had ham and red rice and pineapple bake 

and green beans and hash brown potato casserole and homemade bread.

There was not much food left at the end of the day

and we thought we had an over abundance.

If you count the number of growing boys in the picture you know why.

Candles and flowers and bunny-inspired napkin folding by Lucy graced the table.

Easter is a day to dress everything up a notch.

The day was beautiful.

Blue skies, green grass, leaves, no humidity.

If only every day could be like yesterday.

Dodger Smalls found his place among the shoes.

The children listening to David give instructions about the egg hunt.

There were still a few azaleas around.

Usually, they are gone by Easter.

David and Erika have a yard full of flowers.

It was David's first year to hide the golden egg,

The tradition started with my dad,

then it went to Bubba,

and now it is David's job.

He outdid himself.

We had to give major clues before the two golden eggs were finally found.

He was brave.

No one else wanted to dig in the trash can where this egg was hidden.

Probably because he had the biggest basket.

Daisy found a golden egg and chewed it up.

She had the most delightful first Easter ever!

Lu made an awesome carrot cake and adorned it with fresh ferns.

She can do just about anything!

"Every good thing bestowed and every perfect gift is from above, 

coming down from the Father of lights,

 with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning." 

James 1:17
