The Easter tree

in GEMS14 days ago

Easter dinner at my house.

Both my son and daughter were here, along with their spouses. Of the grandkids only my granddaughter was able to be here, the boys were busy elsewhere, so it was a smaller family gathering than usual. but we had a lovely meal, with everyone contributing their specialties.

The centerpiece in the middle of the table is the Easter tree that I created years ago when my kids were small. Over the years I had fun shopping for all the individual ornaments to hang on the tree.

The cheery yellow daffodils were all picked from my yard. They have just begun to bloom and there are plenty more to come. Daffodils are one of the flowers that deer don't eat, so it's safe for me to plant them all around the house!

The tiny little wicker basket with eggs in it is my daughter's favorite.


Garfield the cat dressed up as an Easter bunny might be my favorite!

Hope everyone had a wonderful Easter if you celebrated!

I used Ai to add text to my photo and used this as my Easter greeting in Waves. Remember to Wave!

As always, all photos are from my family albums.

Wow, I wish I had the energy to put out this delightful spread.
I ended up taking my kids out for Dim Sum lunch with my brother on Sunday.
Happy Easter Mel 🐰

Your Easter table looks really amazing 😍!! I love the Easter tree it's wonderful on the table.

Thanks! I do enjoy putting the little decorations on the tree each year!

It's so nice to know your kids celebrated Easter with you, even though some couldn't make it. Knowing that the Easter tree has stood for decades is truly amazing. The way you decorated it is so beautiful. Happy Easter, Mom.

I think it is important to have holiday traditions that continue year to year. I love having my family here for holidays. We have fun together!

Woo, that Eater tree with everyone's favorite is deeply captivating,

I love it so much because it's a life time creativity with a field of memories in the minds of all members of your family.

Little things that matters most, is it.
I will try my hands on such long lasting article at home. Thank you, my mama!😂.

Year to year traditions are important. My aunt had a lovely Easter tree when I was a child and it was important to me to give my family lasting traditions.

It's so memorable I have learned from this and will try to keep this sort of memory! Thank you for sharing!

Very nice!

Very cool Easter tree 🙂 love the daffodils. I'm a ways behind on your posts but not enough that my daffodils are in bloom 🙁 still only crocuses here but the daffodils are getting closer.

We have been having so much rain that the daffodils are getting flattened to the ground as soon as they open. I have several different varieties, so maybe the later season ones will last longer.
