Sunday Best

On Easter Sunday, we dressed up a little bit more than usual for church.  

I wore a white pencil skirt, white bow blouse, and a sweater I bought for my college graduation 7 years ago. It's the sweater that I just can't let go of (probably because it's like the only thing I've ever bought full price.)

Sisi's dress is from H&M.  

For Joe, jeans and a polo shirt is practically black tie apparel.  Immediately after church, he changed into board shorts and a T shirt, and gave a big sigh of relief to be out of his "dressy" clothes.  

I though these were the perfect Easter shoes.

Later that day, we hung out at Nana's and Sisi hunted for eggs.

I specifically asked for no candy in the eggs, and was so shocked when my mom actually obeyed my orders!  Sisi adored her treasures.  Especially the small box of raisins.  

Did you dress up for Easter Sunday?

Hydrangea Blue

Totally not on purpose, this week ended up having a color theme. Soothing tones of lavender, mauve and blue. Hydrangea colors.  These colors remind me of my grandma, who was never seen in anything other than white pants, white jazz shoes (once a dancer, always a dancer), and pastel tops with matching floral hats.  Easter was totally her favorite holiday.

sisi's cabbage patch doll was wearing hydrangea colors.

sisi is finally showing signs of being nurturing.  a glimmer of hope :)  she still pretends to pinch babies though.

silk hydrangea bobbies- the perfect blend of abstract and realistic.  i'll be wearing these on Easter Sunday!

((Those last two pics don't fit the color scheme, but I added them just for fun.  I adore my goofy little family.))  

Have a blessed time with your goofy little families this Easter!  (or more accurately, this "Resurrection Sunday".)
