My Happy List #9

Happy Easter!





Photobucket



I am joining Mamarazzi @ Dandelion Wishes for the My Happy List Linky Party.  Please join us for the most upbeat party in blogland!

1.   I am happy that we are not living in a perpetual state of Holy Saturday.  He is risen!


2.   Living on a mountain makes me happy, especially in the morning.  We are in the clouds {fog really}.  This is the view from my front door:

Let's hear it for developers who leave the trees!!!




3.   Filling Easter baskets for my girls makes me happy!

I think these little peat pots with vintage Easter tags and French wire silk ribbon are fun.

4.   Happy activity of the day: Dyeing Easter Eggs!!!

How are you spending Holy Saturday?  We are going on a quick boat ride before we dye the eggs.

Until next time...

Happy Easter!

    Your pictures with the fog are so pretty...I would love waking up to that every morning.

    You are so sweet, those baskets are tailor made for your daughters and they are going to love them! You're a great mom!

    Enjoy your boat ride. I am getting ready to color eggs, too!

    Happy Easter to all of you!

    Pretty pictures. I love seeing all the green around your neighborhood. We've only got green grass so far, no leaves on the trees yet.

    I think your Easter pots are adorable!

    Hello my friend! The view from your house is so breathtaking! That is priceless! If I were to live in your place, seeing that view everyday is enough to remove all my stresses in life.

    I think you are indeed a cool mom. I never experienced having those cute Easter gifts. I'm sure your daughters would love them.

    Happy Easter my friend!

    I love the view from your front door! As a tree hugger, I too appreciate developers who don't cut down every tree in their path. This is such a fun party. I'll have to stop by and visit the other party goers and join in the fun soon. Happy Easter dear Ricki ~ to you and your family!!

    Love,
    Susan and Bentley
