Easter Weekend Recap

I had a great long weekend! Easter is one of my favorite holidays.  

>> On Friday, we slept in, and did a bit of spring cleaning/organizing.  In the afternoon, I took Simon to the movies and we saw Rio. It was a fun mother/son time.  I've got the Rio soundtrack now, and Simon loves to dance to all of the songs, and sing along.  In the evening, my in-laws had us over for dinner to celebrate Easter and my birthday.  My Mother-in-law had me choose the menu so I picked my favorite: Cedar Plank Salmon and roasted vegetables with coffee flavored creme brulee!  We ended the evening with Yahtzee. :) Delilah wore her peacock blue velvet dress for the occasion. My MIL found a photo of her in the 60's wearing a dress made from the same fabric!

>> Saturday was full of work and a family gathering.

>> Sunday was my birthday! Ryan took the family out for lunch, and everyone enjoyed an afternoon nap while I made a big cup of french press Tribute blend and relaxed.  We head to the country for the evening for another Easter gathering.  We listened to stories and looked at photos from my uncle's trip to Vietnam, and had carrot birthday cake. :)

>> I extended the weekend and took today off.  It was a beautiful day, so I packed up the kids in the Croozer and we walked to a local drive-in for lunch with Stephanie.  I'm making dinner before Ryan heads to ground school and I'm having friends over for coffee tonight.

Thanks so much for the birthday wishes! xo holly

ps: I should really stop using my retrocam app on my phone and take some REAL photos one of these days... I'm thinking my new JoTotes camera bag (Thanks Dad!!) will motivate me to take out my slr more....
