Scenes from the Weekend

Happy [belated] Easter, everyone! And happy Patriots' Day to all of my fellow Massachusettsians.

Because today is Patriots' Day, Ben is home from work so it felt like a nice long weekend around here. And wow, was it a gorgeous weekend! The weather was PERFECT, we were all pretty relaxed, and we actually spent some time together as a family for once (it's been a while since we had almost an entire day together), so I'm feeling good today.

Since our little chickadee is up early and we've got lots on our plate for this sunny Monday, I'll keep this short + sweet and just share a few pics of our weekend festivities (to be honest, they're mostly pics of Charlie Mae, but what can I say?)...

[Above] Charlie Mae sees her first horse! Ben was just as into it as she was and it was adorable to watch them together.

[Below] Just as I had hoped, I found time to make Charlie Mae's Easter Basket this weekend. I have really special memories of my homemade Easter Basket from when I was a child, so wanted to create something similar for her. I'm happy with how it turned out and as you can see, she seemed to be into it! ;) 

[Above] The girl has cheeks for daaaaayyyyyssss! Also, you can see that she's learned how to blow raspberries and just generally make crazy noises and faces--which I catch on camera every once in a while ;) 

[Below] Sayde exemplifies how we were all feeling by the end of the day yesterday...tired, relaxed, and ready for a lazy evening on the couch...

I hope your weekend was equally beautiful and the good kind of exhausting.
