Alleluia and Happy Easter!
We had a triumphantly adorable Easter, so I thought I’d try one of these what I wore link-ups to share. And hey, today there are THREE! Thanks to Camp Patton, The Practicing Catholic, and Fine Linen and Purple for hosting.
First, the what I wore part:
sweaters: Old Navy
Blazers & Khakis: Gap
(Reader Heather sent me one to try out)
Dress: Anthropologie
Shoes: Boden
Now let’s back up a bit, shall we? (Please feel free to make your own rewinding noises at home.)
We figured we wouldn’t go to the Vigil, since we didn’t know any of the Catechumens or Candidates this year, and it’s a late night. But Jack and Betty weren’t having it. Jack was shocked, SHOCKED when we suggested that perhaps he only wanted to go for the treats afterwards, and insisted that he loved the pagentry and the immersion baptisms. So off we went. And had a lovely time.
The next morning began bright and early. The Easter Bunny stopped by:
 |
| Leaving Easter baskets for all. |
 |
| This is how excited Anita is about getting a new toothbrush. |
 |
| He changed our Lenten Sacrifice Beans into Jelly Beans! |
 |
| Blue Easter drool: cute or gross? You decide. |
 |
| The “Golden Egg” has a dollar in it. |
Jack went out to the front yard and changed the sign on the cross he made as his quiet afternoon project on Good Friday:
Later, we hosted some friends for a really wonderful Easter dinner.
 |
| My Mom and I combined forces on a Southern ham dinner with all the fixin’s. |
 |
| And our guests brought desserts! |
So this day has been officially siezed. I feel so humbled and grateful. Our God is good and triumphant. Our family is hilarious, and beautiful, and fun. Our friends are charming, and interesting, and generous. Who could ask for more?
May all your Easter days be blessed. Keep celebrating!
You look so gorgeous, Kendra. ESP your accessories!
Happy Easter to all!!
Thanks, and thanks for hosting!
I love everything about your outfit!
I also love that your Easter spread includes a bottle of Frank's Red Hot!
Hey, love to see you working that coral color! Beautiful outfit. Does that dress have pockets, too? If so, +10 for dress pockets!
What a beautiful family! It was nice to "meet" you. Easter blessings to you all.
Your outfit is awesome–I love everything about it. (Hey, I wore my grandma's pearls for Easter Mass, too!)
You have such a beautiful family. 🙂
What a handsome family! And I love-love-love your jacket. So structured but feminine, and the color is great.
Your dress is beautiful! Looks like you all had a wonderful day!
I was there and it was great from early morning to departure back to San Diego. Frankie did much better at getting his eggs in his basket than either his Mom or Aunt did at his age or his sister Betty did at finding them. I take credit for the kids' outfits but Kendra put together her own so way to go on that one.Alleluia!!!
