the weekend in photos.

This weekend was pretty awesome. 
I've got some photos to hopefully serve as proof. 

These first two are actually from last weekend.
Hubs & I trekked down to New Jersey
for a retirement party for my godfather.
And got to see my whole family...I miss them.

Then, my sister came up to visit us this weekend.
Her first visit to our house.
And first time meeting her second niece, Mocha.

Pedicures please.

Margaritas, tequila & sangria. yes, yes, & yes.
Along with paella and fried ice cream :)

Sistahs.

It's very hard to get the puppy still for a photo, but it was love at first sight.

Saturday we shopped. For over three hours.
I have no photos of this, but my wallet can assure you,
it was a success.

Then we cooked. And hubs made some delicious cookies.
The pups will sit, for treats.

The Easter bunny paid a visit to our house.

My first attempt at deviled eggs. They were a hit.

And finally, it feels like spring in New England.
Today is the second day in a row I've had the windows open in the house.
It feels amazing.

Spring has sprung!

easter eggs.

 Happy Monday friends!

I'm kinda behind on things I want to blog about.

It seems I can't keep up with life these days.

Le sigh.

I just uploaded a ton of photos onto the computer,

so there are some more of these photo loving posts to come.

A couple weeks ago I spent the afternoon with my nieces & nephew.

We dyed Easter eggs and made invisible lollipops. 

I love spending time with their sweet little faces.

Especially when they bring me back to my own childhood.
I'll let the pictures do the talking.

pretty girls. pretty eggs!

"like a pirate, sticky!"
*side note: when A says my name, Kristen...it sounds like he's saying "sticky"
he is quite adorable.

*M. A. & S.*

So excited to dunk the eggs in the colors!
And waiting patiently for the colors to appear.

home made lollipops. yum.

When I was little, we used to dye eggs each year before Easter.
Anyone else? 

Any other Easter traditions in your family?
