Happy Easter! We were happy to host Easter at our house this year – our first chance to “entertain” in our new home.

Project 52 Weeks 14-15: Easter Extravaganza

On April 10, 2012April 10, 2012 By LindyIn photography2 Comments

I told myself I would only post ONE photo per week for my Project 52 this year. But I just can’t help it. We were so busy spending time with my family and my in-laws, that I want to share a piece of that with you. So here’s a glimpse of our very busy Easter weekend. Which photo is your favorite?

As I was packing for the weekend, my cat Esme climbed into my drawer and made herself comfortable on top of my sports bras.

Mom broke out the china dishes for Easter this year ... and got creative with the food.

We looked at some old slides from a trip my mom took when she was about 12 years old. We're taking the same trip this summer. Can you tell where this is?

More nostalgia ... my nephew plays with some antique box cars.

Everyone congregates near the fire to keep warm at the Dennis United Methodist Easter Sunrise Service.

Day 115: After Easter Shopping

On April 26, 2011 By LindyIn photography

Last week I mentioned that I may go after Easter shopping since I have almost no spring decorations. Well, I wasn’t joking. I found several cute items at Target yesterday for half off! This spring sign may be my favorite $3 find! Just a side note: this photo was taken with my new lens; a birthday gift from my parents!

Day 114: A Full House

Platte Woods United Methodist Church had a packed house for Easter. They even added an extra service and offered shuttle rides to help with parking. What a great way to celebrate Christ!

Day 109: Easter and sugar, a retailer’s favorite combination

On April 20, 2011 By LindyIn photography

This is my all-time favorite Easter decoration! (And one of about three I actually own.) I may have to go after-Easter shopping this year. 😉 Although I do think it’s sad that probably the most important Christian holiday has become so commercialized and secular.

Day 107: Wave those palms

On April 18, 2011 By LindyIn photography

What a great joy that the processional of children walking through the isles waving palms was five or ten minutes long at the Palm Sunday service! We didn’t have the best vantage point from the middle of a crowded pew, but the kids were adorable. Even the poor screaming girl, who obviously DID NOT want to be there.

Day 91: Another “egg-citing” day

On April 2, 2011April 2, 2011 By LindyIn photography

I think this photo tells how much fun we had at our spring party at work on Friday. We had an egg relay, egg dying, and an egg hunt. The winners of the egg relay walked away with a package of Peeps, but the best prize was a half-day off work in the egg hunt, which was never found!

Day 90: Dying of “egg-citement”

On April 1, 2011 By LindyIn photography

I spent about 3 hours last night boiling 54 eggs for our spring party at work. Then I had to test the dye to make sure our egg dying would be a success. It looks like it will be!
