Easter

Tay and I hosted Easter for my family this year. We didn't do anything super fancy, just made the table all pretty and threw together a turkey with sides. It was fun! And I was glad to have everyone gathered around the table. Mom doesn't seem to be in any of these pictures, but she was there too, promise.

We used the napkins everyone gave us as wedding gifts and wedding china and it turned out to be very pretty and spring like I think. The paper place mats mom bought me from Anthro, and the silverware is from an estate sale. Connor bought me the water glasses - also from Anthro, the wine glasses are wedding glassware. 

I blew out some eggs and made Tay decorate them as place cards. It was the extent of my Easter themed decor. Tay's got some skills though doesn't he?

I set my oven hotter than I was supposed to, so my turkey was done an hour earlier than anticipated, which caused me a little bit of panic, but overall it worked out, and there was plenty of beer...so no one seemed to mind. 

Yay holidays!!! 

Holiday Party #2

Rob and Emily threw an ugly sweater party up in Philly that we drove 4 hours to attend. Luckily I adore them. They have to be one of the cutest couples ever, in that "we love each other and don't have to gross everyone out to prove it" kind of way, plus Emily and I share a birthday. The pictures are blurry and ridiculous, but a good time was still had by all.

As you can see by the top "prom pose" photo Sean and Patty also came to the party. We love them too.

Emily also won my heart by doing a pinterest craft from construction paper. Wins all around!

Celebrations

We thoroughly enjoyed our 4th mid-week weekend. It started with a trip to the drive in on Tuesday with my parents and brother. We ate bad for us food, played a very intense game of dominoes, and watched Spiderman. Which for the record I actually liked, even though it was a tad bit slow.

As you can see we were very excited.

Wednesday was spent being lazy all morning and then making cupcakes in the afternoon. We then had dinner out at Lindeve and Don's and played with sparklers and floating lanterns. They were awesome.

 Hope everyone had just as much fun as we did!

Happy 4th of July!

Happy 4th of July everyone!!!!! 

In my family its a doubly special holiday as it is also my parent's anniversary. They got married in Canada, where it's obviously not a holiday, but I still think its pretty awesome that they now get fireworks for their anniversary every year! (Happy Anniversary guys!)

Tay and I are spending the day with my fam and close family friends out in the country eating delicious food, playing with fire, and releasing floating lanterns into the wild. It promises to be a good time all in all, particularly since I'm making cupcakes, and I'm always happy when cake is involved.

Here's to hoping you have a fantastic holiday filled with sugar and fireworks and lots of red white and blue!

Mothers Day

Taylor and I each spent mother's day with our respective mothers, as is only fitting. Hopefully both moms had fun, as they each deserve to feel special for doing such a fantastic job raising us!

Taylor and his family went to the park. 

My family went to the Can Can

But everyone enjoyed ribbon cake!

 Including me...the next day for breakfast.
