I remember it always feeling really warm and sunny. I remember the air being filled with anticipation and renewal. I remember wearing pastel coloured dresses with poofy sleeves and frilly headbands. I remember looking for Easter eggs in my pyjamas {and always finding one six months later hidden in a plant!}. I remember big family dinners and playing games with my cousins. I remember ham and pineapple and scalloped potatoes. I remember falling asleep on the couch with a very full belly. I remember chasing the dog in the backyard and mud puddles on the sidewalk. I remember making home movies and skipping down the street. I remember chocolate stained clothes and piles of colourful tin foil. I remember the extra long weekend and the extra long hours driving. I remember being nearly done school and how quiet residence was at this time of year. I remember packing up boxes and blaring loud music. I remember church bells and spring flowers. I remember introducing my son to his grandparents for the first time. I remember breakfast outside and glasses of wine around the dining room table. I remember love. I remember hope. I remember this holiday beautifully…
Happy Easter everyone!
