Easter Morning......

Waking up on Easter morning in our home isn't just all about finding the Easter baskets and heading
off to church service. One of our family traditions during a holiday, is to have breakfast together. The kids love waking up to the table set and seeing the decor. I always wait for them to be sound asleep before I set the table..
What are some of your family traditions? I would love to hear about them.

Here is the Easter morning menu at our home. Mom Byler loved having quiche and fresh fruit..the cinnamon rolls are only made on holidays....so that makes these a definite Family Tradition!

Easy and inexpensive Easter wreath!

As most of you know, one of my favorite places is Target...just like any other retailer, they always have the "dollar" isles right when you walk in...usually full of things you really do not need..but during the holidays, I find this area to be very useful. During my Easter basket shopping, I found some really cute easter decor in this area...and as usual, I thought I could make the items even cuter!  French Rooster style! So here is the wreath I purchased for just $2!!
