Easter blessings

In honor of the men fighting for our countries freedom.

Easter, for little ones is all about bunnies and sweets.  I agree if they are told why they are celebrating. A good time to explain to them about Jesus in simple kid talk.

A little sweets for after dinner.

Cute egg cups with chick hatching.  Can hold real hard boiled eggs for snack

Sweet little bunnie to play with

Confetti cake with sprinkles made with sugar and food coloring.      I hope you all have a great Easter with friends and family. I know I will. Menu will be the traditional ham dinner with all the trimmings. yum

Long view of table.  It is getting dark out so lighting is bad. One thing I need to do is learn more about taking good pictures.  Oh well can't know everything. God bless you all.

A little touch of spring .  I have used this a lot it makes me happy.

I went with the red white and blue to match with tablecloth. I used my hand made checkered napkins and cute little gingerbread cookies.

See the place mats.  They are made of textured wall paper. leak proof throw aways.

My favorite tablescapes are the kid's corner.  I found the large cook gingerman at my thrift store for 3.00.  He became my theme.  I had fun looking for more to add.  Found the mama and babies. Liked the red  for tablecloth and assessories.I had the cups with gingerbread man on it.It's all coming together.

this on side table

It started out like this

I had my 50th anniversary many years ago but one of my regrets is that we didn't celebrate an intimate one together so this is in honor of  the love of my life.  Did you ever do your tablescape over and over again til you were satisfied.  Well that was my problem putting this together . I wanted it to be special. My son and grandson will be joining me so food was a big order to get it done in time to post

.
