Easter Weekend

Helloooo out there!

We had a nice little Easter weekend in TX with some family and are still getting back into the swing of things around here.

On Friday we dropped the pups off at a kennel for the weekend and made our way to Galveston for the next few days. We arrived Friday evening, met up with the bro and sis-in-law for dinner and called it an early night. When we made it back up to our rooms, we were greeted with this:

D's parents had surprised us with a little Easter gift! How cute, right? Is it sad that we were too pooped to open the champagne? I'm convinced that having a child has aged us both dramatically.

The next morning the boys set off for an 8am tee time and us girls made our way to breakfast and a pedicure appointment. G watched. :) I can't wait to get my hands, er, nail polish on those little toes, but we'll give that some more time! After some pampering we headed to Moody Gardens and checked out the aquarium. I had a feeling this would go over pretty well with the little miss since she adores this little soother in her crib that lights up blue and has fish. I think she enjoyed looking at everything as much as you could expect from a 7 month old!

Special thanks to Toni for taking pics. I am the WORST at remembering to break out the camera while we are out and about. She got some great shots of my girl and I.

After meeting up with the boys for lunch at an adorable local restaurant, we all took naps and then reconvened poolside. Grace had her first experience in water other than her bath. It was windy out, which made getting wet a little bit chilly, but I think she did great for her first go!

After the pool we all got ready and went downtown for dinner and some window shopping. It was a gorgeous evening, so we sat outside where we could see the water and followed up our meals with some ice cream at the cutest little old-timey ice cream shop. Here's where you can tell I didn't bring a camera because oh.em.gee they had some of the most expansive candy selections I've seen...and you know I would have at least wanted to document that!

We wrapped up our weekend with breakfast on Sunday before heading out. G got her Easter basket, which- MOM FAIL, I do not have pictures of. Here she is with her new BFF, Coral the Mermaid.

I'm officially obsessed with Blabla Kids. Go check out their site and oogle the baby eye candy.

We ended the weekend visiting my gal pal Ali in Houston and headed back Monday to pick up our fur children and get back to reality. Now I'm back to work and actually already starting the process of repacking for a trip next week. Grace and I will be heading to VA for a business trip! I'll get to work, and she will get to hang out with her Nana and Pops. :) More on that to come this week. For now, hope everyone had a fabulous holiday weekend (I'm so late on that!) and are cruising through the week. Halfway to the weekend! Yesssssss.
