I wonder if mine will be passed on since it is usually the women that sets the pace....so I will only see one pass it on, but I still hope mine remember our traditions, even if their wives bring in her own. I do know I can make memories with my grand children...just like you experienced. I never remember us celebrating with extended family, so I don't have those big gathering memories at Easter season.<br /><br />You have done a great job!!!....as always, you are a great mom and wife.Janettessage.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01262598732466380229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2483447783501410646.post-46313070129424897772012-04-10T21:59:44.939-05:002012-04-10T21:59:44.939-05:00Angela, I loved reading of your Easter memories an...Angela, I loved reading of your Easter memories and the new and old traditions! I agree with you...it's all about Him, but we can point our families (and ourselves) to Him as we celebrate and make memories. <br />Love your apron...and your bunnies! :D <br /><br />It must be challenging to be so far from family. I thought of my son and his family as I read your words. I soooooo miss them at family gatherings, but I am also surrounded by other family. They, on the other hand, are very far away from any family at all, as your family is. Thanks for helping me see things from their perspective! <br /><br />P.S. What a lovely skirt you made for your daughter! You were quite ingenious with your adaptations! <br /><br />P.P.S. Thanks for sharing your birthday party. I must try to make an ice cream cake like that!Cheryl https://www.blogger.com/profile/00063844335185525553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2483447783501410646.post-43651802015147424872012-04-10T08:59:52.012-05:002012-04-10T08:59:52.012-05:00Thank you for visiting my blog....and so glad you ...Thank you for visiting my blog....and so glad you did...cause it lead me to this inspiring blog of yours!PChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15317319768088021699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2483447783501410646.post-3320723963887502862012-04-10T06:39:25.262-05:002012-04-10T06:39:25.262-05:00I loved reading this - full of memories made and i...I loved reading this - full of memories made and in the making. Your tip about using wax crayons on still-warm eggs is great - I love the little bird. The way you describe Easter encapsulates everything - family, friends, fun, food togetherness and at the heart of it all the reason for the whole feast - the Risen Christ. May your Eastertide go on being one of blessings for you and yours. Elizabeth xxx<br />PS Lovely to see your apron in use - I so love the fact that a few weeks ago it's on my sewing machine in Oxfordshire in the UK and by Easter Sunday it's in use in your kitchen in Texas! A lovely symbol of global connections. Your Easter meal looks wonderful - what are the entrancingly named "angel biscuits" please?Thomasina Tittlemousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01574272724724663796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2483447783501410646.post-30443160237709188332012-04-10T02:02:31.799-05:002012-04-10T02:02:31.799-05:00I love this post Angela!
