I think I was ten or eleven last time I celebrated and that was just my mom and I going to old stockyards in the city we used to live in.<br /><br />I never really understood what Easter even was until around the time I was a teenager. Even then, it took me a long time to grasp the true meaning of it.Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07507642753163503531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6934122631054104275.post-22965242922586255492013-03-25T14:30:06.106-04:002013-03-25T14:30:06.106-04:00I enjoyed looking at your photos.

I really need to go through my photos. You know you and your younger sister look a lot like your girls! I think back then, at least in my family, it was the man who took the pictures. We went to church every Sunday growing up too. My parents were very involved in our Presbyterian church.

Absolutely adorable! My mom always made the biggest deal out of finding the perfect Easter dress for me as we always went to my grandma's house each year. It was a very big deal...and I'm thankful to have those memories.

It brought back so many similar memories of a childhood where Easter meant a new dress, new shoes and a feeling of great confidence and anticipation as we walked the short distance from the parsonage to the little country church our father pastored. Thank you for sharing such precious memories. By the way, I also wore a black turtleneck sweater and fur vest to church yesterday. Seemed and felt perfect. Have a great week as we look forward to celebrating our Risen Lord on Sunday.Elizabeth "Libby" Dayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17145264016754286426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6934122631054104275.post-60226937112060227382013-03-25T11:57:46.938-04:002013-03-25T11:57:46.938-04:00Really Cute!

Not bitter at all, am I? Ha. <br />Looks like we'll be in the 60's for the weekend so maybe just maybe, the Easter clothes will look like Easter clothes. Although we are going to Easter Vigil and that's Saturday evening and those lovelies are less than Easter morning lovelies. :)Carrie Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01819737721881821638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6934122631054104275.post-2921888878287448542013-03-25T11:21:00.262-04:002013-03-25T11:21:00.262-04:00We always got new dresses and shoes too, but I don...We always got new dresses and shoes too, but I don't believe there were too many pictures taken.

Oh yes, back in the day, Easter was VERY special ... seeds were planted. <br /><br />I hope to be able to wear a nice dress with just a sweater this Easter, but I'll be honest ... if it gets very warm, the powers that be at church just turn on the AC and crank it up. I can't even wear warm-weather clothes in the middle of summer! :-( I've given up on trying to be too fashionable at church, since most of my clothing is hidden under several layers in an effort to keep warm.Kathy ... aka Nanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17626590048036292030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6934122631054104275.post-20692765147918974382013-03-25T11:06:39.723-04:002013-03-25T11:06:39.723-04:00The bright orange and yellow one is my favorite to...The bright orange and yellow one is my favorite too!
