Easter Family Fun

Easter day continues with Family Fun at mom and dad's!  My Favorite day to celebrate also means my favorite dinner!  But not before the traditional family photo shoot...

My sweet 5-year-old beauty!

And my 1-year-old goof ball!

Easter Gifts from Grandma! 

(Thank You!!)

First year for the "KIDS" table!! 
(Hooray!)

Now...Let the EGG Hunt BEGIN!!

 

Grandpa's make a GREAT hiding spot!!

 

Daddy's are good for helping reach the high one's!

So many great places to look!!

Such fun! 

I love the laughter, the sharing, the adventure...what a beautiful day to celebrate and remember all that Jesus did for us on the cross!  Our family is fantastic and we are blessed to make such wonderful memories together!  Our day wouldn't be complete without the chaotic "cousin" picture to commemorate the day...

 And the "out takes"... Our sweet Easter babies!

So again, just like yesterday...shelves in need of clearing out!
The top shelf was chock full of glass serving pitchers and miscellaneous linens in a color scheme I no longer care for.  The bottom shelf was the rest of my vase collection.

Now...

A much more organized display of pitchers on the top shelf and the bottom shelf now houses my wine and champagne glasses (next to the wine of course, duh!)

I ended up with a nice pile of linens, vases, candles, etc - some for donation and some to toss!

This piece of furniture is a great way for me to decorate and have some useful space for parties when needed especially since my home is quite limited when it comes to useful space.

Still, these shelves tend to become a cluttered mess of things I don't often use (or simply have too much of!)  This left side was a jumbled mess of vases, candles and candle holders.  It was well past time to thin them out.  I was able to eliminate several candles that were past their good burning hours, holders I don't like anymore and vases that haven't seen flowers in years (Ahem...Justin!).

I was able to make the top shelf vases (still in need of flowers!) and the bottom shelf candles that may get used.  I'll revisit this space again maybe 6 months from now and whatever hasn't been used is... outta here!!

The Bookshelf:

Somehow this space just turns into a giant pile of toppling books.  I guess that's a good thing...it means we're reading together!!  So although it's now clean, this is one space that will require constant upkeep and reorganizing from time to time. 

Voila!

Some books for Lainey's room...

Some books for Kenzie's room...

And some ready for donation!!
