Easter memories. New dresses. Pretty hats. Going to church. Eating ham and all the dressings. I loved hunting for our easter baskets as a kid. We had a large family so there were a lot of baskets to find, and finding the right one was a little tough.

I loved coloring eggs. There's something so basic and pure about it. Even as the kids got older, I'd still make easter baskets and color eggs. But, now they're all out of the house.

For the last few years, I even made my DH a basket, but this year will the first year I won't. I am getting him a solid chocolate rabbit, which he says is his favorite. However, he's had a lot of medical tests this year already and we have a lot to cut back on so no candy filled easter baskets. Just the one small chocolate rabbit for him to ration. It's already in the freezer getting nice and frozen.

I felt very "Spring-y" this week. I went shopping and bought new khaki shorts and 3 new tops in pretty colors of pink, yellow, and white. It made me feel special, like I was getting a favorite easter outfit.
