Easter/Meme's 60th birthday

Our Easter was actually more of a typical Sunday. We were low key b/c that evening we celebrated my Mother-in-LOVE's 60th birthday. Her birthday is actually March 24th but she was out of town and Easter turned out to be the only day that all four of her children and their families could get together. We went to Harrigan's and had a wonderful meal and time. We all had put together a book of sentiments for her with notes and pictures from many close friends and family members. She is the type of person who does not like to bring attention to herself and insisted in no big party, so this was the next best thing to include all that love her. I hope I look half as good at 60! She truly is beautiful inside and out!

We did our Easter baskets before church that day and they were a definate hit! I think putting together Easter baskets is my next favorite thing to Christmas stockings! I actually did it two months early for the first time in my life! I did not know what to expect with having a newborn this time around so I thought it best to take care of before baby arrived. I am carrying on that theme and actually have done some Christmas shopping this week!

We did have a wonderful day all around. It was beautiful and warm for the first time in years. We had family time that afternoon and it was a really blessed day!
