Monday Memories....Easter Memories

My good friend Floozie posted a Monday Memory about Easter when she was growing up. Since both of us are" vintage classics" I could readily agree with her conclusions.

Easter at our house was a dress-up occasion. My sister and I always got new spring dresses, white gloves, hats, socks with lace, and new shoes.

No one in our household was fond of hard-boiled eggs so my mom would tap a small hole at the end of the eggs and blow them out. The eggs were hollow then and we would dye them and decorate them and eventually hide them.

The Easter bunny usually hid candy marshmallow eggs for us to find and there was always a chocolate Easter bunny in our baskets.


Grandmother was usually the source for the Easter Dresses for our girls. We would hide plastic eggs that would either have candy or surprises inside for the children. They loved to hide them and find them all day long.
This picture is of Becky's first Easter dress when she was exactly 14 months old (same age as Emma).



This is me with Suzy. It was her first Easter and she looked like a little Easter chick herself. One of my aunts had crocheted a yellow baby sweater and cap. Her little dress was made by my sister-in-law Auntie Anne from material that my bride's maids wore at our wedding.






Andy was showing off his new jacket, pants, and tie one very colorful Easter in Savannah. Note the azaleas in full bloom.


What a transition for me...from being a baby to having babies and now watching my babies have babies. God is so Good!
