Priscilla Presley is looking back at what family celebrations looked like with ex-husband Elvis Presley and daughter Lisa Marie Presley by her side.

As Easter Sunday rolled around, the Elvis and Me author took to Instagram and shared a sweet throwback photo of the Presley family celebrating the holiday in the 70s.

Priscilla, who is also a mom to son Navarone Garibaldi, was married to the late King of Rock from 1967 until 1973, four years before the "If I Can Dream" legend passed away aged 42; their daughter passed away aged 54 in January of last year.

To commemorate Easter, she shared a photo in which she is seen in her 70s-esque voluminous red hair, sporting a printed shirt and holding up a basket filled with Easter eggs.

A little blonde Lisa Marie is smiling and running ahead of her as Elvis, sporting his signature oversized sunglasses, jet black sideburns and a blue and black button down, is proudly looking on.

"Celebrating Easter Elvis and I hid the eggs," Priscilla wrote in her caption, and recalled: "Elvis yells to Lisa, who was in the house, that the Easter Bunny came!"

She continued: "Lisa runs out the door with her basket in hand all excited and takes off to find them. Elvis, with bag in hand, ended up finding more than she did."

Elvis purchased the iconic home in 1957 for $100,000 at age 22, and Priscilla moved into the property in 1963 at age 18.

At the time of his death, the home was reportedly worth $5 million, however Priscilla's decision to open it to the public in 1982 not only largely saved the Presley family from financial peril, but moreover, a Presley executive told Rolling Stone in 2020 that the estate is worth upwards of $500 million, and today it reportedly generates over $10 million annually.
