Our Royal Wedding Celebration

 I just had to link up to The Tablescaper's Seasonal Sundays and share the Royal Wedding celebration we held at work.   Several of us arrived at 4:45 to turn on tvs, make the tea, prepare the petit fours and get in position to watch and celebrate together.  One friend brought her Irish tea set, another her wedding china, and another brought the petit fours.   One-by-one, others arrived and joined the fun!  It was such a beautiful wedding and it was especially nice to be able celebrate the event with a crowd!   Here's a picture of the organizers.  We took a quick photo as we were packing up all of the niceties.

Easter in Germany

Last year we were in Germany for Easter and it is so hard not to think back to all the decorations and celebrations we saw while we were there.  Every town, shop and neighborhood gave us a reason to want to celebrate the season. 



We especially enjoyed reading that this town square requested we avoid touching any of the 3,000 hand-blown eggs that were part of this display. 

Look at the woman's head to the left of this egg...this thing was HUGE!!!
  Every evening as the sun went down we would observe the hillsides covered with Easter bonfires.  You can learn more about the tradition of the bonfires here  I've done some decorating but nothing that compares to the Easter celebrations I was able to observe last year.  Meanwhile I'm looking forward to Easter fun with the grandgirls.
