Weekend Recap...

Whoa I have been MIA for a bit too long, sorry bout that spring brings crazy to my occupation! This past weekend was jam packed and amazing! On Friday I celebrated my big thirtith birthday! Exciting! It was kind of a whole week of birthday for me actually! On Tuesday my co-workers threw me a suprise birthday party, my momma made me cinnamon rolls on Thursday and on Friday I woke up to flowers and loves from Charlot and the hubs. Once at work my cubical was so gorgeously decorated and I was blessed with lunch with two of my aunts! Pretty great day that just got better! 

I cannot explain this pic well my face in the pic but I wanted to show off my shirt!

The hubs who rarely makes a plan had arranged a sitter and made reservations at this fun little place in Rocheport, called Abigail's. It was wonderful to enjoy a quite dinner with hubs. The place is really neat with a menu that changes daily so it is written on a dry erase board, and none of the serving utensils or dishes match. Ther is artwork everywhere and desserts to die for! I was in too big of a hurry to eat the dessert I forgot to snap a pic! All I can say is gooey butter cake amazingness!

Check out the menu and the hubs dish (again I had eaten most of mine w/o a pic)

Then we spent Saturday doing some shopping for my SIL's wedding got Charlot a bumble bee dress (some would refer to this as a flower girl dress). Than evening we had Easter dinner with the hubs side of the family. So fun, here are some egg hunting pics!

Sunday was Easter. Bunny basket, Breakfast, church, lunch, egg hunt, nap and one more birthday celebration! It was great! The first photo in this post is of my papa and Charlot after the egg hunt Sunday. Perfect!

It was a great weekend I am so very blessed! Hope each of you had a great weekend and are having an awesome week! 

She loves spring...

On our drive to the sitter’s this morning my daughter announced to me that it was almost spring! “Momma spring will be here after Easter is over!” She apparently can only handle one occasion at once. Then she says, “Oh I love spring.” Me too sweetie why do you love it? “Spring break!” She’s three I thought that every day was kind of a break. Plus where in the world she came up with the concept of spring break I have not a clue. But sure sweetie I could use a spring break as well! Let's just hope that once she is old enough for an actual "Spring Break" she chooses to come home and spend it with her momma...please!!!

This chick has no clue.

This conservation brought me to remember some of the things my kiddo does really love about spring and the Easter season. These pictures are of the cute “Egg Tree” that she and I created; she had a blast helping me with this. The other pictures are from a recent trip to Orschlen’s. Each year around Easter these stores get loads of chicks, ducks and baby bunnies in and they allow kiddos to touch and handle the little cuties. This is a great reward for Charlot she loves these little guys, and no we did not bring any home! If you have one of these stores in your area go check it out your kiddos will love it!

Happy Spring everyone and enjoy your Easter!

Easter recap way late…

Our Easter weekend was full of family and fun as most our holidays are for us. We had Easter with my MIL’s side of the family on Saturday night, Charlot got to open her Easter basket and found some wonderful goodies. On Sunday we headed to Sunrise service at the church the Hubs was raised in, oh boy that was early especially for Charlot she slept through the whole thing, we then headed to Church service at our church, the little one was a bit more lively for this one. After church my Aunt Sherry had a family dinner at her house that was so delicious, especially my Aunt Charlene’s fried chicken. Charlot was also super excited because her cousin Mia was there. They are such good playmates. They blew bubbles and hunted eggs until they couldn’t take any more. It was such a beautiful weekend full of family and rejoicing in our Lord.

I think she likes her new chair

With her Aunties after sun rise service I think the look on her face tells you she felt it was a bit early

I think Charlot is catching on

"I've got this egg hunting thing down Dad"
