Easter Sunday

So Easter started out like it always does at our house - with the Easter Bunny leaving a web of string through our house with goodies hidden along the way.  Even though she is 17, Tessa has not outgrown having the Easter Bunny come and neither has her mom!!!

We enjoyed an Easter breakfast of omelets, muffins, strawberries and cream - so good!

 And of course there were Easter tulips.

We headed to church where they had a nice program for Easter - the choir sang several numbers and there was a missionary farewell.

After church Grandma and Grandpa Best came for a dinner of Orange Marmalade Pork Tenderloin, Fresno Potatoes, Celestial Salad, Roasted Asparagus, Grandma's jello and my mom made her orange rolls.  Dessert was lemon angel pie and caramel cake.

Tessa wore her new Easter dress that I made for her from a 1950's vintage pattern - she looked darling in it of course.

 It was a bit muddy out of the grass!

Sunday evening our stake was putting on a musical Easter program that we attended that was beautiful.  I perfect ending to a lovely Easter Sunday.

Start Up Princess

Thursday, Tessa and I were both speakers at a Startup Princess Touchpoint event here in Portland.

I have attended several Startup Princess events in Utah the last couple of years and learned so much and met a lot of great women.  Startup Princess is an organization that helps and supports women entrepreneurs,

I was  honored to be asked to speak and it was fun to have Tessa there with me.  I spoke on Blogging Strategies and Tessa shared some of her experience as an up and coming fashion blogger!  It was quite fun!

Each women there receives a Princess wand from Founder Kelly King Anderson.

It was a fun day and I met some more great women I can't wait to connect with more.

Prom

Tessa and I have both posted Prom photos on our blogs but I had to post some here too - she looked so beautiful.  Tessa has a great slide show of a lot of photos on her blog if you want to see more -

But here are some of my favorites.  I went a little overboard with my picture taking (no surprise) and think I took about 300.  But my subject was so beautiful and I'm taking another photography shot so it was for my homework!!
