Holiday Traditions

Holidays are all about families and traditions. With Easter coming up I thought I would talk about a very different ritual that the Walters family has and I'm pretty sure no one else partakes in. Growing up we did the typical Sunday morning with church, Easter baskets, egg hunt for the eggs we had previously dyed, lunch and pictures with our matching/coordinating outfits.

I remember getting a new outfit every Easter, a tradition I still carry on as an adult. I would beg my mom to wear it before Easter but alas I had to wait. I remember one cotton t-shirt dress in particular, it had a drop waist that I loved (totally my favorite dress of all time) and I would definitely rock that dress today! I do believe comfortable and cute has always been my style even when I went through awkward stages and my style was a bit off (ok I admit sometimes a lot off).

Now onto that crazy tradition that we have, well when everyone else is enjoying ham with their families, you can find us at the Chinese restaurant. I remember our favorite restaurant closed down but the staff knew us and many Easters were enjoyed there (often we had the place to ourselves).  It's a crazy tradition but obviously something we can call our very own and I think that is pretty neat! What are your traditions? Anything unusual for different holidays?

This year I bought this floral scarf to go with a dress I already own

My mom made the dresses and bonnets

My favorite dress!
