This Easter we were blessed to have a table of ten. Five couples including Dear and me. It was good to celebrate the Resurrection of Jesus Christ together at an Easter service and around our celebration table. On Saturday before Easter Sunday we had a baking and creating day that you can see here. And if you are interested in seeing the table we sat at you can see it here.
Jamie and Dan traveled over 5 hours to be with us for the weekend. They were married last summer. Dan is our second son.
Dan with his dad.
Steve and Lana with a stand up daffodil photo and a silly one, too. Lana is my youngest sister and the only sibling of mine that lives in Washington State.
Laura and Josh are the longest married of our children. Josh is our firstborn.
Dear and me.
Katie and Andrew were under the weather on Easter day and we didn’t find a time to get them to stand behind the daffodils so I pulled up this great photo of them as they were on their way out to celebrate their 5th wedding anniversary a couple weeks ago. Katie is our youngest.
And here’s my new Peter Rabbit (Beatrix Potter) bunting that Katie put together for me including making what the kit called radishes that look like carrots and flowers. Josh and Laura gifted me the bunting kit on my birthday.
I’m linking up with Amy for Five on Friday and with Susanne for Friday’s Fave Five even though I added #6!
I’m happy to report that I’m feeling well again with enough energy that I conquered the lawn today with the lawnmower. No fooling! But because I was spent after doing that the king of this old house had to take his gardener out to dinner! It got up to the 70’s today and it is going to be up to 70 degrees on Friday, too, woohoo!
Hope no one tries to fool you on April Fools Day.
You all look lovely!
What a lovely and happy post, Ellen!
Thank you for sharing and have a great weekend! xx
Beautiful family photos!
What a lovely family post.. Isn’t wonderful when you have a lovely family get together. Love the bunting…Peter Rabbit is one of my favourites 🙂
Lovely family photos:)
Such beautiful family photos. A great gift, I love the bunting.
Such cheery photos!!! Loved looking at all your beautiful decor behind the scenes. You really know how to celebrate. Sorry to hear you were under the weather – I’ve been fighting a horrid flu and cold over here as well – just can’t seem to shake it. Take care.
Ellen, love the pictures!!! I love your lace blouse too. And that bunting is too cute. 🙂
Glad you are feeling better. I was a bit out of it too – but I think I am finally affected by the pollen this year.
Wait… Katie has been married 5 years??! My how time flies!
It is shocking. They were married for a year (civil ceremony) before we had their formal wedding celebration on their first anniversary.
You have a lovely family! I enjoyed seeing all the festive photos. And , the Peter Rabbit bunting is so cute! Sending you my best wishes for a great weekend, Pat xx
You are truly blessed with wonderful family to celebrate with!
Glad you are feeling better!
You have a beautiful family, how wonderful that they were able to spend Easter with you. Love the bunting.
You have a lovely looking family. Thanks for sharing the photos. I love daffodils and Beatrix Potter so I really enjoyed your post.
What lovely photos of your family and guests! So glad you had a great Easter, it looks like a lot of fun. Love your new Beatrix Potter bunting, I love bunting and Beatrix Potter, so this is a great combination as far as I am concerned too! Hope you aren’t too worn out after the grass cutting! Thank you for taking part in Five On Friday, I hope you have a great weekend! xx
A great collection of family photos to remember Easter 2016 by! I’m trying not to be fooled today. 🙂
Heard it was beautiful in Eugene yesterday too — our son said he barbecued. Your daffodils make me homesick (as of course also does the fact that you spent Easter with family)…. but I will survive!
It’s wonderful you could get together with so much of your family at Easter! Glad you’re feeling better! That bunting is cute
I so enjoy seeing your family smiling faces! It’s such a beautiful day to begin April and that is no joke!
Lovely family pictures Ellen.
Wonderful family picrutes.
Yours:)*
Love all the smiles and celebrating of family!!
You have such a nice family, we are only 5 !
I can’t begin to tell you how sweet this post was! Celebrating Easter all together (what a cute name for the post!) I loved seeing the pictures of your dear family!
Love the photos dear Lady! And that bunting is beyond adorable!! Looks like it was a very blessed Easter.
So happy to hear you’re feeling better too. Hope you have a wonderful week ahead.

Great photos of the family!
Love that bunting. Beatrix Potter has always be a favorite.
And Happy (belated) Easter to you–I’m glad you’re feeling better now. Today is my first day of feeling like I might actually be normal. This stuff really hangs on, doesn’t it?
