It's April!

Isn't it wonderful? 

April is here! 

I know that for many of you, it has been a very long winter. 

I hope that you had a very Lovely Easter! 

I hosted Easter Brunch and it was so wonderful to have my whole family together. 

My daughter Heather made these sweet little Easter gifts. 

A little nest with a tiny bird and a long feather tail. 

So sweet. 

This darling bouquet in the blue teapot was from my daughter, Jennie. 

The lovely pink tulips were a gift from my daughter in law, Erica and son Gabe. 

The lily was from my sweet Mr. 

My dear, daughter in law to be, Jen, baked these sweet cupcakes with edible 'grass'. 

The one with the yellow chick was for The Mr.'s birthday. 

We celebrated his day on Easter. 

Here is the table all set for our Brunch. 

I served glazed ham, deviled eggs, fried potatoes, fruit salad, blueberry muffins and bagels with strawberry cream cheese.

We had juices and we also opened a bottle of champagne to have Mimosa's to celebrate the Mr's birthday.

Here is his cake, decorated with carrots and peeps. A carrot cake, of course!

Here I am with my two sweet 'Jennifers'. My daughter Jennie on the left, and my future DIL, Jen on the right. 

You can see the bright sunshine pouring in from the glass door.

Here are my 4 girls posing together last Easter.

In the rush of the day I didn't get a photo of them all together!

From left to right, Heather, Erica, Jen, and Jennie.

It was 70 degrees! I had all the windows and doors open and after we ate, we sat out on the deck enjoying the warm sunshine. A very rare treat for the last day of March! 

It was so bright, we all needed 'shades'! (From left to right, Heather, Jen, Dustin, Gabe and Eric)

All eyes were on this guy, the man of the hour, opening cards and presents. 

Jennie brought her two mini-dachshunds, Peanut and Weenie Baby. As you can see, Weenie Baby was shamelessly enjoying the sun! 

These little faces cheerily looked on! 

The sunshine coaxed these tiny 'Tom Thumb' daffodils to bloom, too. 

But soon the sun dipped lower in the sky, casting shadows on the walls. 

It was time for everyone to say goodbye. 

A beautiful day, enjoyed with family to celebrate two very special events. 

And as the moon rose over the quiet hills, sweet memory lingered of the many blessings we shared.

I want to take this moment to welcome all of my new followers. 

And to thank all of my loyal friends. 

I hope your Easter was as special as you are!
