Easter!

Easter!
 It is one of my absolute favorite holidays!  I have realized that Easter is a day of traditions.  Growing up, I loved going shopping every year for that perfect Easter dress, dying eggs with my grandmother, the hunts, the candy, a visit from Peter Cotton Tail himself, and all of the decorations Mom would put up around the house.  Now, the "holiday" has a whole new meaning.  I am grateful for the time with family, a Savior that died and rose for ME, and a daughter to start all of those traditions over again with.  What traditions does your family have for Easter? 
  For the past five years, Mom and I have attended the spectacular Goddess Tea thrown by our dear friend (and my old boss) Sharon.  It's an amazing event filled with yummy food, beautiful decor, lovely ladies in big bonnets, and little G.I.T's (goddesses in training of course:) skipping around with their empty baskets just waiting for the big hunt to begin!  Last year, I was pregnant at the tea but had NO IDEA that this year I would have my own little G.I.T to dress up and hunt for eggs with!  It was SO much fun!

 Then there was church....
I was looking SO forward to taking Norah to church for Easter!  Not only was it her first Easter Sunday, but her first time in church period!  
 Asleep on Daddy!
All in all, it was such a great weekend!  Next year at this time, Norah will have her own opinion about which dress she wears, hunt for her own eggs, and just the thought of it all makes me giddy!:)


Happy Happy Easter, Love The Dixons
