Happy Easter

Easter is a time of celebration and renewal. It's a time for church services and getting dressed in your Sunday best. It's a time for children to enjoy Easter egg hunts and the Easter bunny. It's a time for wearing a new hat or an Easter bonnet. And it's a time for gathering with family and friends and possibly even having your own Easter parade.

Here are some photos from past Easters. I hope you enjoy them.

Easter Parade

In your Easter bonnet, with all the frills upon it,
You'll be the grandest lady in the Easter Parade.
I'll be all in clover and when they look you over,
I'll be the proudest fellow in the Easter Parade.
On the avenue, Fifth Avenue, the photographers will snap us,
And you'll find that you're in the rotogravure.
Oh, I could write a sonnet about your Easter bonnet,
And of the girl I'm taking to the Easter Parade.

- Written by Irving Berlin
