Sweet Easter Memories 2011
One of the best things about being a Grandmother of five beautiful grandchildren is the freedom to indulge. Treats, hugs, smooches, giggle, and lots of fun. Because at Grandma’s house we break the rules. Candy is often eaten before dinner, bath time is more about bubbles and swimming than getting clean, staying up past bedtime is encouraged and dancing until your legs are weak happens frequently.
Being a Grandma rocks!
Easter memory making began with a big roasted chicken dinner.
Don’t you love that bright tablecloth! giggle. It’s vinyl so easy clean up!
then opening of the Easter baskets . This year they were Easter pails.
Then the finale! the egg hunt!!
I hope your Easter celebration was as fun as ours.

Oh Katherine, how absolutely wonderful! I know you just love spoiling those babies and yes, being a grandmother it is your privilege. When I have grandchildren my children will surely cringe. 😉
Being a grandmother is the best!
What a beautiful Easter filled with your family! The Easter goodies look fabulous.

Katherine, it sounds like you’re a wonderful grandmother and everyone has fun at your house. My father’s mother was just like you and you’ve brought back such great memories for me of all of the fun we had at her house.
Thank you for stopping by my kitchen and following along. It is my pleasure to meet you and I hope to get to know you better. I saw some Greek potatoes in your last post that looked fantastic, so I’m off to check them out now.

Grandchildren are such a blessing! Those eggs are too gorgeous to touch the ground. (you should do them in wood so they will last FOREVER)

LOL!
Sounds like a perfect Easter! Those eggs in that last photo are gorgeous!
Thank you Gail
Katherine, we had a great Easter weekend, too! We went to our sunrise service lakeside, and it was so special! Then we had a delicious ham lunch, and then we went boating!
I am so jealous, I love a sunrise service and by the water would be extra special. Thank you so much for sharing your happy day with me. hugs
You’re a grandmother of five? You sound so young.
Giggle, I am young at heart my friend. I posted about turning 50 back in November. I also posted some photos of me here You are so sweet. Hugs!
Hi thanks so much for stopping by and for your kind comments! Your Easter looked like a lot of fun and those Eggs are just gorgeous!! Our Easter was a lot of fun…but sadly my “big boys” are too old for Easter egg hunts but not quite at the grandmother stage yet either, so neither here nor there…sooo miss having a little one to do these things with though!! Thanks for sharing your special day with us!
thank you for your lovely comment. Big Hugs!
