Weekend Recap- Easter Version

Friday:

Good Friday

Jesus died for us, but thankfully three days earlier he rose. 

We left home around 12:30 and we drove to my aunt's house which is about two hours away.. 

we stopped at the hospital to see this little guy 

Jaxon Wesley was born April 17- his mom and I grew up together, I spent the afternoon there with them while hubby and Brooke went off exploring.  

Then we went to the Keg for dinner, hubby keeps saying he wanted to take us so tonight we went and oh my Land, it was incredible... I ate my first steak, I am not a steak person but this was divine. 

This dessert was called "Billy Miner Pie" ~ Amazing!

We got to my aunts around 7 pm

played with my cousin's baby boys, we had so much. 

saturday:

we decided we did not want the normal Easter dinner, so we decided this year we would have the first BBQ of the season- my aunt went all out.. there were all kinds of salads, steak, hot dogs, more salads, it was soooo absolutely amazing. 

I made this 

 I will share the recipe if anyone would like it. Such a nice hot summer evening recipe. 

We came home around 4 pm

is it weird that I love to hold my hubby's hand while we drive, we chat or just sit there, listen to music or the radio but I love the closeness of being in the car with my loves. 

sunday:

I Love Easter so much, it is my fav time of the year- new birth, new life and a new hope. 

We went to church this morning, we had a lot of visitors.. here are some pictures from today 

My Mom gave Brooke this Easter tree last year and it was the perfect centre piece for the day. 

After the Easter 'bunny' came- she got practical things this year, she is getting to old for fun easter presents like bubbles, sidewalk chalk etc, so this year she got:

*Clothes

*Notebook

*sketch book

*hair bows- we love our hair bows

*chocolate 

*M &M's

and there were a couple of other things but i can't remember and i don't want to walk down stairs 

We had 28 deer in our front yard today, here you can see 3.. I really like them being around

I went to service tonight and also had to serve in the Cafe, it was nice to work with some lovely ladies

My Girlie 

This Lady is my "other" mother- she is always just a text or a phone call away, she has taken me under her wing and I love her so much. 

My Girl and I- Easter is also the day we first bring out the white shoes, skirts  etc. 

Our Pastor sang a beautiful song this morning

Here is the link 

Tomorrow is a holiday as well and we have plans with a girl friend. 

How was your weekend

Weekend Recap

Friday:  Another great day at work, they also gave me my completion date.... April 5th i am done, i want this contract would get extended but so far it isn't happening.
I took a pregnancy test, not that we are trying or anything, I've been feeling sick every morning and have puked every morning for the last 5, it was a relief when it showed up negative.
 hubby went to get Jaredene so she could come over for the weekend :) i love having her here, she is so helpful to me. Made chicken fajitas and Caesar salad for dinner after work, we didn't do  much of anything really Friday night, just relaxed, it was nice, Friday nights usually mean crazy times, but it was nice to do nothing

Saturday: We were invited to a breakfast with a friend but hubby was up all night sick so we had to cancel it, i felt bad but he wouldn't been much company.
I slept really late on Saturday to embarrassed to tell the time :p
We had to go do errands and get things ready for the birthday party at church on Sunday.
We had nachos and wings for dinner  and apple pie for dessert.
Saturday night i introduced jaredene to the me who loves hockey- she hasn't been here when i have watched hockey before..
i think she got bored because she asked Brooke to go watch a Disney movie with her, haha. my boys lost so we wont talk about that ( right Melissa:p )

Sunday: very early morning again, i had to be at Church by 8:30 to prepare for our Pastors birthday party which i took no pictures of, i was so busy.
we made a turkey dinner and apple pie with ice cream for dessert, it was so good. the ladies are such good cooks here.
We got our new bed delivered in the afternoon, spent time putting that together and hoping for a good night sleep tonight.

Hope your weekend was great as well :)
