When I was a little girls every Easter my Granny Woodard would have us, her grandkids, over to decorate a Easter tree. We would find the perfect branch or stick off the ground stick it in a pot and decorate it with all these little easter eggs, bunnies and other ornaments. As we grew older we stopped decorating the Easter tree and I forgot about it. Then I had kids of my own, with a young family we are always starting new traditions, I started thinking about Granny Woodards Easter tree and thought that would be a great tradition to bring back. After Granny passed away I was given her Easter tree ornaments, so for the second year the girls and I have gone out looking for the perfect stick, brought it in, stuck it in a pot, and decorated it with Grannys ornaments. While we are decorating I tell them my childhood memories of Granny Woodard and all the fun things she used to do with us. Here are this years pictures of our Easter tree.

I really am quite sad I dont remember the Easter tree tradition... the only thing I really remember is putting the gummy sugary candies on the tree... was that at Easter?!
