Hello blog...it has been a while since I have seen you. Things have been cRaZy due to the end of the school year, but I am very happy to say that it is officially SUMMER!!!!! One of the perks of being a school teacher is that I get 2 months off of work. As crazy as the school year is with IEPs, testing, planning, late, LATE nights, etc...I have learned that it is ALL worth it because I get off for 2 months. So, with all that, let's back up to April 24 and go from there.
Max and I decided that we would invite our families to our house this year for Easter for 3 reasons: 1) We didn't want to have to "do" 2 Easters, 2) our families are always looking for opportunities to see each other and 3) I bought Easter dishes last year from Pottery Barn that I wanted to use (this was the main reason). So, everyone came to our house, which meant.....I needed to get decorating!!!
This is what our dining room looks like during the year when it is not a holiday:
And the kitchen in the background....
Here are a few of the dishes that I bought from Pottery Barn last year. The salad plates and bowls came in sets of 4: pink, blue, green, and yellow.
And here is my finished table...
The plates and glasses also came from Pottery Barn. The flatware is the formal flatware we registered for that mostly stays in the chest
I bought these 3 rabbits last year after Easter
I bought the cherry blossom stems from Michael's, and the eggs came from...you guessed it, Pottery Barn
We also had to have a "kiddie table" for my sister, Max's brother David, Max, and I, so I used the kitchen table.
I used pink Jelly Beans in the centerpiece
And here is our mantle (sorry it's blurry)
I bought the EASTER sign from Home Goods (which is a new favorite store) and the 2 bunnies from Hobby Lobby
Hope you all had a wonderful Easter with your families and friends!!
HAPPY EASTER!!!!
