Welcome back to that work week. Yikes. Jeff is taking a mental health day today and I'm so jealous. I know everyone is in a different boat with the quarantine, but with a baby at home and full-time job mine has been verrrrry busy!!
Anyway, I wanted to pop in and share a couple of photos from our Easter celebration yesterday! We actually had a really nice day. Mia slept in and then let me dress her up, we made cinnamon rolls (from a can, of course ;) and watched our church service live stream. After church we had some mimosas, the rest of us got dressed up, and we watched The Sound of Music while making a small feast for dinner. While we missed our families, we ended up Facetiming with just about everyone. Here are a few of our pictures!
Happy almost Easter! Do you get tomorrow off of work? I have to go in, but I've previously gotten the day off, and I was always surprised by it. This year my surprise holiday was President's Day instead, which I think was oddly around the same temperature.
This Easter is a weird one for me, because my parents are currently off in Japan with my brother and his wife, and Jeff is headed down to San Antonio with his brother tomorrow to watch the Final Four! He was hoping to see Virginia when they got the tickets, but now is almost as excited to get to see Loyola play. I mean, I haven't watched much March Madness this year, but I'm about ready to hop on the hometown bandwagon solely for Sister Jean - anyone else?
This year we decided to keep the scalloped potatoes and asparagus, but we're going to throw in a ham in too because we're grown-ups now and because it turns out all you have to do is put a ham in the oven and you're good to go. Oh, and we'll try for a little Sound of Music, but who knows, her toddler might dictate that Moana be the feature film of the day. And I won't be mad about it.
Since we're keeping things casual (and because it's still so cold), I'm thinking this Sunday will be a day for comfy clothes. But if I were headed to church or a fancy brunch like we've done in the past, I'd definitely reach for this dress! I snagged it during the Lilly Pulitzer sale in January. I'm usually not into the Lilly patterns (they're a little too crazy for my taste) but something about this one spoke to me - it just screams warm weather, right? I can't wait to break out this little number for real. Hopefully soon.
Holy cow, Easter is right around the corner! I guess it's early this year, but I still can't believe it's almost here. When I was little, getting dressed for Easter always meant a frilly, lacy dress and some kind of weird hat. What can I say, it was the eighties. As I got older the holiday became more and more casual in my family, so I got used to throwing on jeans and a nice sweater and calling it a day. Then I started dating Jeff. Now Easter means buying a new dress (oh who am I kidding, I'll probably be wearing this pretty dress again) and, depending on the weather, braving bare legs and maybe some heels.
I've been on the hunt for some new dresses, here are a few of my favorites (in all colors of the rainbow because I just couldn't help myself). If you don't celebrate Easter or come from a more casual family like mine, these would also be great for all of those bridal or baby showers that pop up every spring.
