Easter has become a very important holiday in our family — I love everything about it. The newness of spring, the fun pastels, dinner with our fam and of course, commemorating the resurrection of our Lord and Savior.

Whatever your beliefs may be, I wish you a wonderful weekend full of love and blessings!
