Easter Weekend

This past weekend, we had a weekend full of celebrations: Mom's birthday (what anniversary of your 29th birthday did we celebrate this year, mom???) and Easter.

To top if off, we even had an entire day of sunshine!

Saturday, Cadence and I did some last minute shopping to prepare for mom's birthday dinner at Tropea, a fantastic restaurant in Redmond. Betsy, Forrest, and Mia joined Matt, mom, Cadence and I for a great meal of lasagna, lemon chicken, chicken marsala, and fettucini. We enjoyed good company, great food, and awesome desserts of lemoncello sorbet and decadent cannoli.





Sunday Cadence and I had an essentially lazy morning while Matt worked an off duty job at a local church prior to heading to his parent's house for our Easter meal. Per normal holiday events, I kissed my low carb diet goodbye and we dined on ham, green bean casserole, potatoes, rolls, chocolate brownie eggs, and lemon bars.

Cadence was a huge hit of the day, no surprise there. She and Matt went on a daddy/daughter Easter egg hunt and she enjoyed holding the colored eggs and shaking them. She also liked "opening" her Easter baskets and looking at her goodies from Nanny and Grammy including bibs, a new sippy cup (which is currently her favorite chew toy), a stuffed bunny, books, and new headbands with crocheted flowers from Nanny. (No limit to this girl's accessories!)

We also spent some time Skyping with Peter and Kelsey. Overall, Wee's first Easter was a big success!!
