Growing up, we had a collection of Easter ornaments that we would hang on a tree of willow branches in our home. I loved all the tiny painted eggs and bunnies and chicks... so, about 10 years ago when I saw the little wooden ornaments on sale one year at Hallmark, I bought all three little sets. And for years they sat in a closet because I would always forget about them. Last year I finally pulled them out but I couldn't find a tree to hang them on that wasn't expensive...so I made my own wire tree that was okay but really kinda lame. I didn't love it, but it got the job done. And the kids had such wonder in their eyes when they looked at all the cute ornaments!
Naturally, I was thrilled to find the cute tree on clearance at Cost Plus. Of course now I had to store this awkward thing for a year. You can imagine how thrilled Rick was about that!
So last week, the kids were being particularly good (for a change), and I brought in the tree. And the little ornaments. I told the kids to decorate the tree any way they wanted and they did... and it is just beautiful and perfect and I love it.
Happy Easter to all of you!
