I hope you all had a wonderful Easter weekend with your family. We loved every minute of our jammed packed weekend. We kept things simple at home. I made a banner and used some photos from the last five years to string up the staircase {thank you to my friend, Michelle, for that idea!}. We also hung lanterns throughout the downstairs to make things festive. 
My amazingly talented sister hosted Easter and made sure that the birthday girl was not overlooked. She even had a special birthday table set up for her and her cousins. 
But I have to say that my sister’s table for Easter was one of the most beautiful tablescapes I have ever seen. She chose a beautiful fabric for the runner and then glammed it up with plenty of sparkle. She even hung two chandeliers from branches. 
Instead of place cards, she had each guest’s initial on a hand blown egg. The rested on their own nest inside of a wine glass. Clever clever girl. 
I call this the, “I’m getting down to business” stance for the Easter egg hunt! The day was fantastic. My baby is now five and mama survived! Thank you to my sister and her family for such a special day.
Looks like you throw one hell of a easter dinner!
What a wonderful weekend you had! 🙂
So glad she had a fabulous 5th birthday. Such a big milestone!! The table your sister set is AMAZING! Love the monogrammed eggs.
Wowzer… drop dead gorgeous tablescape.
And, adorable birthday decorations! I kid around that birthdays are more of a celebration for us moms for surviving another year 😉

Your sister's table is unreal!! It's so beautiful.
Your table is beautiful as always. I need to make some pretty table runners. They add such depth to the table. The kids are darling!
Beautiful table! Great idea for a new spin on place cards!
The banner you made turned out great! And your sister's table- Wow! I loooove the fabric she used for the runner and looks like she took the time to sew it! Beautiful! The peek into the living room looks awesome too! Your babes look precious in their dress-up clothes!
Happy birthday Riley! Love the photos hung from clothespins – what a great idea for a birthday party!
And your sister's house – so, so pretty! That table is amazing – the egg nests are so cute!
Happy Birthday to Riley! Your kids are beautiful, Courtney. I love that they are all dressed up for Easter Sunday and Riley's big day. Your sister's table is gorgeous. That's such a pretty runner and the touch of glam is lovely. How clever with the egg inside the wine glass! I many need to use that next year. You both are very creative and talented. Have a great week!

Love how your daughter got down to business! So cute. The table settings are delightful! Love the eggs nestled inside of the wine glasses. Cute idea!
Your daughter looks so excited at her special table, aren't sis-in-laws the best! Where in the world did she get those amazing napkin rings?
Happy Birthday to your little girl! Your sister's table is gorgeous! Wow is all I can say!
Stunning table, stun-ning. And ps… are sisters not the very best? I treasure mine… (and her house, so I can blog about her when mine is a mess 🙂
These decorations are all so gorgeous!
the eggs in the glasses are amazing. Totally stealing that idea for next year.. I mean, if you don't mind. 😉
Amazing tablescapes must run in your family — that table is beautiful! And how sweet is that picture of Riley at the table?! So fun!
I just found your blog over at TenJune and I'm SO glad I did. What a whole bunch of great inspiration.
What a beautiful table! Love the runner. Looks like you all had a wonderful Easter.
Wow what a gorgeous table! I love the birds nest in the cups and the pretty napkins and rings!
Luvs!
Gorgeous tablescape!! Looks like you had a pretty wonderful Easter 🙂
I am with you on the spring cleaning…feels so good to wrangle a mess and make it pretty again! I bought some inexpensive drawers and stowed all my daughters craft supplies in them. I labeled each drawer, and it has made a huge difference. Good luck with the closet!
Your set up was such a wonderful tablescape I've ever seen. I like putting the glass idea on the set up since it adds elegant on your party and I think the kids – seemed they really enjoyed a lot. Such a creative imagination especially on putting those egg on that place!
Somehow, I hope you have time to visit one of my bookmarked site on the net that offers fabulous chair covers, cheap tablecloths and other luxurious items you might need. Their items are really elegant and are really perfect if you were having a big party to throw out.
