Easter blessings

Easter morning welcomed us bright and early with sunshine and warmth. What a perfect setting to a fabulous day! The morning festivities started early as we had plans and deadlines to meet all before noon.

It was a lovely start on a beautiful morning to praise Him!

The Easter bunny delivered {with help from mom :)} fun filled baskets loaded with goodies. We don’t often have candy or sweets in our home so on Easter and Christmas it’s a treat to receive your favorite sweets. There are many and they are meant to last awhile and they do ~ I just threw out candy from Christmas.

Mr. Easter bunny gifted me a pretty white and pink basket of Godiva chocolates {I’ll be hiding those in a safe place} and a lovely lily. Oh, the fragrant beauty!

It wouldn’t be a holiday without a few funny photos. Do little boys ever really grow up? I hope not, I still enjoy the silly side of Nicholas :)

Translated: seriously mom, stop taking pictures!

 {I was so excited to have Nicholas home for Easter! It's really hard on me having him so far away}

Due to a tight schedule this year, we decided to go out for brunch. At first I was a little disappointed that we weren’t going to have our traditional family meal but quickly rebounded when I realized how nice it was outside and I was going to get to spend my afternoon playing out in the sunshine rather than be stuck in the kitchen!

Nicholas helped me get my greenhouse up and in operation. I’m really off schedule with Easter and my spring break being so late this year. With the extra help, I even had time to get a few trays planted and tucked away in the greenhouse. With the nice weather on the horizen, I'm looking forward to planting my garden.


We also did some raking, cleaned and placed the screens in the windows, placed new cocoa liners in the window boxes, and prepped the herb garden.

Thanks for the help Nicholas; it’s greatly appreciated!

Our holiday ended perfectly with a little family time.  Hand and foot canasta is a card game that we have played for years. In fact, it may be the first card game Nicholas actually learned how to play when he was just a little guy.  We also enjoyed a few of our favorite snacks. I could eat brie with every meal!  Our treat tier was our last {gluttonous} over the top yummy treat. 

It’s back to healthy eating for all!

We had a glorious Easter. 

As I reflect, my heart reminds me that I am truly blessed with a wonderful husband and son.

His blessings are enormous and not to be taken for granted!
