Oh what a busy weekend – I am so grateful for this #mamagracieday – we need a day to relax and recover from the weekend! Anyone else feel like this?!

We spent Saturday celebrating Keith’s birthday and prepping for Easter since we were hosting. Easter Sunday was a great, but very long day!

Gracie and her Dada – out to lunch for his birthday!

Easter Sunday we were up bright and early and chose to attend the 8am Mass at our church. Gracie did so well, even falling asleep in my arms halfway through the service!

My beautiful baby on Easter Sunday. At 7:15am, so she was still a little sleepy :)

After church, we went home and tried to get Gracie to nap, but she was clearly not in a napping mood My in-laws came over, so we had a nice quiet dinner with the two of them, and my sister.

Best attempt at a family photo – the way she looks at me melts my heart

My favorite (and easiest appetizer!!) – prosciutto wrapped asparagus. Wrap, and roast in a 375 degree oven for ten minutes or until crispy!

My sister made the five hour drive home from Philly because she missed us so much!

Someone had a VERY long day and was wiped out by 5pm!

This is how she ended the day … naked in a diaper, playing with her socks :)

I even managed to finish painting my breakfast bar in time for Easter – I cannot wait to get the rest of the cabinets painted!

I can’t wait to catch up on everyone else’s Easter and weekend!!

Happy Monday friends!

I remember last year when I was pregnant with Gracie, I thought for sure that she was going to be born before Easter. Easter was late, on April 19, and I couldn’t imagine still being pregnant. So I did what any other normal pregnant woman does – went out and bought her a Newborn Easter outfit and basket!

Sadly, April 19 came and went – with me still very much pregnant – and so I returned the adorable newborn dress. That makes Easter this year, Gracie’s very last first holiday.

In typical female fashion, she owns several Easter dresses of which I cannot decide what she will wear. You never know with the weather around here – we could have snow, or 70 degrees. But hey, at least she is prepared

I had a lot of fun picking out items for her Easter basket, and I kept it pretty simple since I doubt she will really understand the concept this year

I chose a personalized basket from Pottery Barn Kids. I then added a bathing suit, headband, pacifiers, a stuffed bunny, a sippy cup and some snacks. I really wanted to get her the Pottery Barn Kids Anywhere chair, but I think I will wait until her birthday for that!
