Did everyone have a good Easter?! We sure did. It was a relaxing, enjoyable weekend and the weather was just as great. We had an egg hunt Friday at school with the kids, as well as a Spring celebration leaving everyone bouncing off the walls! But it was fun for everyone - including the teachers I must admit. As crazy/stressful as the holiday and birthday parties are in school, it's nice to take a step back and remember how much fun I had as a student partaking in the celebrations. Holidays are so exciting to kids - they couldn't wait to see what was inside each egg, and couldn't wait for the Easter Bunny to come on Sunday. They were all ready to visit with family - and it made me a little jealous! ;) We had pizza, cookies, cake and more. Here are the treats I made for the kids:

Brownie Bites with colored frosting and sprinkles

We got an Easter card from J's grandparents, and a package from his parents (packages are so fun to receive! Or is that just the little kid in me?!)

Easter table runner + goodies!

Sunday morning, we went to Easter mass at 8:30, came home and sat out back to enjoy the sunshine. J gave up soda for Lent, so he was ready to enjoy the IBC cream soda's we had waiting in the fridge at 10:30am :) (They were delicious!)

We sat outside for an hour or two before heading to Atlanta for brunch at Park Tavern overlooking Piedmont Park. It was b-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l! And delicious!

We left there a little uncomfortably full! So we decided to go home and relax out back some more and save Easter dinner for Monday evening. I made a ham, potatoes, carrots, and biscuits, and had one of his med school friends over to enjoy Easter dinner a day late. It was just as good - with mini carrot cake cupcakes for dessert...

With all of the wedding planning madness these days, it has overshadowed the fact that my 24th birthday is this Sunday (or is it just that I forgot because that seems old to me?!) And it also marks 1 year since our engagement. I cannot even begin to figure out where the time has gone. It seems like just yesterday we were in Ocean City the day after our engagement in NYC, calling our family and friends to share the news and being thankful for having the chance to celebrate it in such an amazing place. I've loved this year and everything that has gone along with it. We were especially thankful and happy to spend all the time we did together over the Easter weekend, with each other as company and great weather to enjoy :)
