easter traditions ::part 1::

we headed to Mama & Papa C.'s house for easter this year and started the easter festivities with egg dying...

right before easter, my mom and i worked super hard on the kids' easter baskets.  this was my easter basket, but had...ahem...seen better days, perhaps?  i gave it a new coat of paint, and my mom and i added the tulle & ribbon.  emma wanted a yellow liner, so i went with seersucker, and both of the littles got new grass.  i wanted emma's basket to be rainbow, well because i felt like it fit her best :)

i sewed bro's blue seersucker liner and added the white pom poms.  the basket, i found in the top of my pantry.  for whatever reason, i just love his basket.  my mom painted each of the littles their very own easter egg to tie onto their basket.  when it was all done, i was happy!

emma loves her new basket, and i love that it was mine :)  she told me that she was going to give it to her little girl...one day.  swoon.
