In 2016, the branches of an old fire bush were all that I had to work with. |
 |
I used some heavy stones to support these branches and also added a few bird's nests. |
 |
Here is the finished display, but it was never entirely finished. Apparently old fire bush limbs are not particularly strong! So the egg tree kept wilting over and eggs dropped daily. |
 |
Here is a good shot of the tree prior to any catastrophes! |

This bunny was doomed and he didn't even know it. But such is the way with bunnies. |

I remember this particular Easter as "White Easter" because it was the year that all of the flowers used to decorate the house were white. There were white lilies, white hydrangea, and even white iris had blossomed very early in the garden. |
 |
My husband and children had purchased the flowers earlier than usual, so, by the time Easter rolled around, some of the petals were not as crisp. |
 |
Above is the Holy Week Devotional from that year. |
 |
I displayed a few of my older porcelain pieces that are white. |
 |
These white lilies bloomed early that Easter. |
 |
Here are the gorgeous hydrangea that I received a week prior to Easter that year. |

| My children decorated our home for Easter very early in the morning. This is one of our family traditions. |
 |
| Jonquils or daffodils are some of their favorite flowers. |
 |
| Jonquils are some of the very first flowers to blossom in the early spring. Most of our neighbors grow them beneath their shrubs and in planting beds around their homes. |
 |
| My girls decorated the center of our Easter table with graphic postcards, white candles, large shells and chocolates. |
 |
| Before plates, silverware, and goblets are added to the table, a runner is arranged down the center of the table. |
