Happy Easter!

Hello, friends!  Happy Easter!  Just stopping by to share some Easter cards and some pics from the past few days; we are off for Easter vacation and have been busy, busy, busy! 

First I have some cards to share...I will be entering some into the CAS-ual Fridays challenge:


I know you might find a bunny is your basket, or an Easter egg...so here are two cards that fit the bill:

Not chocolate, I know...but it could be!

I know, the bunny is sitting on the egg...hope that's not a problem!

Here are the Easter cards I made for our moms:



(If you want any details about the stamps I used above, just leave a comment and I'll get back to you.)

Now on to some fun stuff..

My son celebrated his 13th birthday on Friday...how can it be that my first baby is a teenager?  He is our little miracle, born pre-term weighing 2 lbs, 14 ounces and 14 inches long.  Now he is nearly as tall as me and his voice is deeper than his dad's!  He is a true gift, a gentle soul, and I couldn't be more proud of the young man he is becoming. 



On Friday night we dyed Easter eggs (although we don't hard boil them since no one here likes hard boiled eggs...must be very careful!).  We add other decorations after the dye dries...



On Saturday, we hosted an Easter egg hunt for the little ones on our street...my kids love stuffing the eggs, hiding them, and helping the little ones fill their bags.  So sweet!


I'll have more pictures as I upload them off of the camera...we went to the Easter Vigil service on Saturday night and it was absolutely beautiful!  This morning we are hanging out, enjoying a beautiful Easter morning, and getting ready to go to dinner at my mom's where several of my siblings will be there with their kids...gonna be FUN!

Happy Easter, everyone!

  4. Happy Easter, dear Judy! Sounds like you will be having a wonderful day with your family!

    Love the cards and the photos! Yes, kids grow up way too fast, that's for sure!! Enjoy every moment while they are young and still at home; it goes by so quickly.

  6. LOVE all of your Easter Cards, Judy! Each one of them is special in its own ways! I also love your photo share! Happy belated birthday to your little guy (13-year old is not little any more...right?). I know how that felt. I still remember when my DD turned 13! ( and oh ...she just got baptized today!!) So glad that you join the fun with us at CAS-ual Fridays! Happy Easter!
