Wishful Wednensday . . . Easter

'I wish' .... I could re-live one Easter memory from my childhood, and it would be . . . Any Easter when I was little.

I know its a cop-out to not pick just one but I love Easter! It is my second favorite holiday. I have so many wonderful Easter memories. Every Easter my sister and I would get a new dress, a tradition I still keep up. I love when I see little girls in what is clearly a special Easter dress. You know the one that has extra ruffles.

Growing up we also knew Easter was special because we would get new white patin leather mary janes. And my Momma, being the good southern woman that she is, would not let us wear our new white shoes until Easter morning.

But what I most remember and cherish from Easters past is that I was blessed to grow up in a Christian home and have parents who took me to Church not only on Easter but every other Sunday as well. I learned at a young age the true meaning of Easter! I learned that the Easter Bunny is fun and coloring eggs are great but that what we truly celebrate is the amazing resurrection of Christ!
This is the actual empty tomb!

I hope you all remember what Easter is all about this year. And that the Bunny visits you too!


I love to get these in my basket! Yum!!
