Happy Monday! We had a great Easter weekend around here. I think it was my favorite weekend so far of 2021!
It started Friday when our college girl arrived home. We went to dinner downtown and then went to the Memphis Grizzlies game, which was my first NBA game! Granted, going to a sporting event looks so different these days, but we still had a lot of fun!
Saturday, my husband took up his tradition of doughnuts with the girls, which has turned more into a lunch outing than breakfast! That afternoon, I took the girls for pedicures, which was their Easter present. I was trying to get creative for a gift at this age for my girls. I am past the point of where I can pick out clothes, shoes, or swimsuits for my girls :). The pedicures were a fun outing and good to have that done for Easter and the warmer weather trends.
Sunday morning we had beautiful weather for Easter and our church offered an outdoor service. It was great and seemed so redeeming after such a different Easter 2020.
We went to my parents house for lunch and my sister and her husband joined us. My niece and her kids stopped by for a quick minute, but always good to see these faces!
Our Sunday afternoon/evening was spent with a canoe ride on our neighborhood lake, then dinner sitting down together as a family. We ate a simple dinner....grilled chicken, salad and sweet potatoes (we had a big Easter lunch!), but we did sit in our dining room. We watched a movie then went to bed by 10pm because we all had an early morning today back to work, school and college.
So thankful forever for this time and hope you had some sweet memories made as well.

That game would be a BLAST to go to! Your entire weekend looks like it was just perfect, Marilyn! I love that you took your girls for pedicures. I am going to keep that in mind as my girls get older. I know we will reach a point where they won't want me picking out their clothes either.
ReplyDeleteI know how precious that family time is when you are all home together! Counting down the days til Mid May when Grace comes home. I can't wait to go to a concert or show, and we might head to the movies soon! Thanks for linking up with Hello Monday! Tanya - The Other Side of the Road
ReplyDeleteI can certainly see why this was one of your favorite weekends! It sounds like you had a wonderful weekend filled with family. Pedicures are a great idea.. I struggle with Easter too now that my boys are teenagers and don't want me picking out any sort of clothing items or accessories for them.
