Easter Sunday

I hope you all had a nice Easter! We had such a nice Easter Sunday here celebrating our risen Savior. I am so thankful for the truth that our Lord, Jesus Christ has risen! 

We started out Easter Sunday attending church. There were tons of babies at church all dolled up in their smocked dresses and bonnets. They were so adorable! I couldn't help but imagine what Easter next year will be like!  After church we went to my moms house for Easter dinner. Justin's parents joined also which was so nice to have the whole family together. I made broccoli cornbread and North Carolina Charms Strawberry Yogurt Bundt cake.. both are so good! Mom is an excellent cook and had a whole spread for us including chicken cordon bleu casserole, green beans, glazed carrots, tenderloin and broccoli salad. After lunch we relaxed the rest of the day and just enjoyed each others company! It was the perfect day! I'm so excited for Easter next year when we will have an almost one year old! 

 

Today starts my spring break and I am SO excited for a week off work. This week I plan on going into complete nesting mode, relaxing whenever I feel like I need to and going on lots of walks. I hope you all had a wonderful Easter Sunday! 

Easter Weekend

After an amazing Easter weekend at home I am now officially on spring break. It feels so nice to have a break from my internship! This past weekend I was able to spend time with a group of high school friends and enjoy Easter with my family. It's always such a nice break out of Greenville when I get to head home. If I wasn't babysitting back at school this week I would have stayed longer.

Friday night I was able to get together with a group of friends from high school and hit the town in Greensboro. We actually had a group of about 20+ people but I didn't get pictures of everyone. I did get one with my girl friends though! It's always a good time when we get together.

Saturday my mom and I headed back to Greensboro to run errands in preparation for Easter Sunday. We had to go to the fresh market of course! That is her all time favorite place to grocery shop and I have to admit I'm pretty fond of it myself. We may or may not have made at least 4 coffee stops for the small samples while shopping. ha. I also picked up my graduation announcements that look great!! I'll be sure to post about them later! We enjoyed a nice lunch outdoors at a place called Bin 33. By Saturday night I was exhausted and headed to bed pretty early.

Easter Sunday I went to church for a great service and then had lunch with my family. Later that evening my family decided to take the boat out to Belews Creek and had the BEST time. My precious little puppies were quite a sight out there. Poor Charlie fell off the boat and into the water- no worries though, he had his life jacket! (;

yum!

How can you not love that face? ..This was pre fall

Happy Easter

Happy Easter friends! The sun is shining and it is a gorgeous day in my hometown. I headed back home for a long weekend this past Friday. Today I will be spending the day with family celebrating our Savior. I found this post from Easter last year that gives you an idea of how my family celebrates the holiday. I hope y'all have an amazing Easter! Remember the real reason we celebrate!

Bittersweet

It's finally Friday! I don't know about you but this has been one whirlwind of a week for me! There are major life decisions going on in my life right now so I am excited that my mom is coming to visit for the weekend! I have such bittersweet news! My mom bought herself and I Bob Seger tickets for the Saturday night before Easter Sunday. I was SUPER excited because we both love Bob Seger. However... I just found out my aunt and uncle are coming into town for Easter and me being the oh so sweet daughter I am have decided to let me aunt take my ticket so mom and her can have an outing together. So sad but I know they will enjoy it more. Since I will no longer be in attendance Saturday night I can instead focus on making Easter fun! Holiday meals at our house are always fun and festive. Here are a few pictures of our Easter last year..

I have some ideas of things I could do this year that I will post later! Let me know if you have any ideas of your own! Have a fun Friday!
