My dear friend Heidi has announced a Friday Freebie so I thought I would enter her competition to win all of these wonderful treats...
Heidi said that we could just write a comment about an Easter tradition in our family or blog about her freebie so I have decided to do both in hopes that my children become the proud owners of those jelly bellies.
Growing up, we did not have a big Easter tradition aside from the obvious:
Waking-up, seeing the chocolate stash on the living room coffee table, dipping into it before having to get ready for church. Then, we would ALWAYS wear our new Easter dress to church and that was my favorite part of all - getting dressed-up! I remember that my mom loved the SEARS catalogue and bought a few dresses for me through the order center. I remember having to wait for what seemed like YEARS to get that perfect dress in the mail.
Now, with a little girl of my own I have passed on my passion for fashion. Maya is eager to wear her pretty pink Easter dress to church. She sees it in her closet and asks to wear it almost every day. That's my fashionista!
So thank you Heidi for allowing me to reminisce about Easter as a child in my household. The SEARS catalogue is so obsolete that my daughter Maya may never know what it is but it still remains a wonderful part of my childhood.

what I will always remember is waking up & having a trail of "bunny prints" throughout the house leading to all hte hiding spots for our treats. Along with little chocolate covered eggs that the easter rabbit "dropped" along the way. My parents would use flour to make the little paw prints all over the house & then voila! take the vaccuum & it's clean!
I would always wake up to a arrangement of treats waiting for me on a chair in the living room. I remember always being so excited when I went to bed that night before knowing all the chocolate that would be waiting for me in the morning. lol
Hi Tammy, Thanks for the shout out about my Friday Freebie! Come on back and leave 2 more comments - one sharing your favorite tradition (you could always just say that you shared your favorite tradition on your blog) and another one saying that you put my button on your side bar. This way you will have all 4 chances to win (since you did it anyway). The way random.org (how a winner is chosen) works is that you need all of them in separate comments to have all the chances to win. Does that make sense?
Looking forward to tomorrow! I think I might bring some card making supplies.
Love the tradition you shared...what great memories. Easter outfits are just too much fun!
I remember every Easter Sunday morning we went on an early morning march with the church band around town at 6:00 a.m. If it was raining we would have a knee drill (prayer service). We weren't allowed to eat anything before the march, but some of us sneaked some of our chocolate to take with us. Then it was off to church for the rest of the day. We also had new outfits, but the part I liked the best was our new Easter hat. That was back in the days when we wore hats to church and I ALWAYS had a new one. Great memories!
By the way Tammy, Sears catalogue is not obsolete. In fact there was one delivered to me today.
There are websites now mom....get with it:)
