Happy Easter!

We had such a fun time with Juliet this year! She was really into hunting eggs. We practiced on Saturday morning in the house, so Sunday afternoon she was ready to roll! Really, she is so adorable!! Juliet wore a bonnet, a true southern tradition. Deda (my mama) made the bonnet for Leigh when she was two! I've worn it and now Juliet is too. She also wore my pearl necklace that I have from my Aunt Deda. Her outfit was very special! Easter dinner was at Leigh's and as always, it was beautiful and delicious! We had the traditional fare. It was sooooooo good! Deda, Granddaddy and my cousin Rachel joined us to celebrate Easter. I'll let the pictures to the rest of the talking...

Started out Easter on Friday dying eggs with the Simmons (Nathan, Leslie and Jamie is in the oven!)

Peter Cotton Tail arrived!

Our Easter table, beautiful!

Juliet slept through dinner, but we saved her a place.

After dinner entertainment. Leigh the Latino serenading Rachel. I do have video footage.

Even at age 1, Juliet is already such a little lady. I love that about her! You all looked so cute on Easter, and Leigh's table setting was lovely! The monogrammed eggs were a sweet touch.

I must know...what did the adults hunt for? Candy eggs or money eggs?

Hil - these are absolutely precious! And then Leigh and Rachel - how funny! You are so blessed with a precious family (one and all) - your folks and grandfolks did a wonderful job! Love to you all! and...we're trying to keep a check on F & W - they're some of my favorites! M

Hilary, I just re-discovered your blog! LOVE the pics of Juliet in the bonnet - you'll have to let me paint her portrait one day in that outfit!
I had fun spending some time catching up with your life via your blog! michelle
