Some traditions evolve naturally over time. We first started spending Easter with Mark’s Russian side of the family 3 years ago when we came up to visit his dad who was gravely ill in the hospital at the time. We’ve been driving upstate every Easter since then, staying at Mark’s uncle’s house which is full of old family photos, good food, and lots of stories. This is now what our Easters look like.
i love the stillness you’ve captured here. I’d love to know the stories! happy easter
What a wonderful tradition to have started. I remember your photos well from last Easter with those beautiful, intricate eggs.

I love family gatherings especially on major holidays. The older I get the more I see their importance!
Your Easter looked lovely! Love the face paint on the girls!
I am always fascinated to see the differences in the ways that families celebrate their special times together. Thank you for sharing yours with us.
These are beautiful and happy. Where is Mia’s coat from? I love it so!
Beautiful photos, as always! And Mia’s coat…is that an Orla Kiely? It’s gorgeous!
that chess set… wow. must be from the russian side of the family. i just love it.
oops. should have read the post first! it says you spent easter with the Russian side of the family.
For those who have asked – the Orla coat is from my friend Tami’s last collection for Ismodern. She used Orla’s fabric.
