Our Weekend In Review// Easter Weekend

We hope everyone had a joyful Easter! We had a great weekend together. It was my husbands first 2 day weekend in a long time, so we enjoyed every minute of it. Here are just a few shots from our weekend. Most of them are from Easter Sunday and most of them are of Liam. He was just so cute in his Easter duds that I could not help but take a million pictures of him. ;)

All of the above pictures were taken on Saturday. The forecast was predicting rain on Easter Sunday (and they were right), so we decided to get some good pictures of Liam when it was nice out! 

 

Our Easter Sunday started with a rainy Easter egg hunt. Liam loved finding the eggs and he caught on really fast which surprised me. :)

The obligatory family Easter pictures. I'm not sure what was up with my hair in that picture. I think the rain flattened it to my head. ha!

 After our church service ends the band always plays a song as everyone is leaving. Liam jumped up and ran to the front when the music started this time.  He danced and clapped right in the middle of the band. Then his baby friends joined him. They were definitely rejoicing and having a blast.

 I'll leave you with my Easter best. I just feel more comfortable in jeans these days and our church is very come as you are, so I went with bright Spring jeans!

My top is Liz Claiborne, necklace is ILY Couture, jeans are jcp™ Sophie Perfect Skinny Jeans and my shoes are super old (read comfy) Rockports.  You can find them here, here, and here. The shoes are so old that they no longer sale them, but you can find some similar ones here and here.  :D

Happy Spring!

Although it does not feel like it, today is the first day of Spring! It's been cold here and it'll be even colder tomorrow. Come on Spring!!!

To celebrate I thought I'd share my Easter decor with you. Most of the ideas came from Pinterest, of course!

Here's my tablescape. I use the top of our TV stand for my holiday tablescapes. Our TV is now mounted as you can see from the super ugly cords, so I get free range of the TV stand.

I stuffed the vase with recycled tissue paper from a gift bag and the eggs I got at Michael's on clearance last year. I think I paid .25 cents each for them! The felt basket was new with tags from Target, but I found it at Goodwill for .50 cents! Target sends unsold clearance items to Goodwill. I have gotten some awesome deals that way. So, keep an eye out at your local Goodwill.

 

The cloth was a gift from my Mother-in-law. I assume it's from Guatemala. She gave it to me to keep my tortillas warm after cooking them. I think it looks very Spring-like, so I'm using it in my tablescape. I guess I should have ironed it now that I look at it. Oh well, the iron and I are not very good friends. lol!

 The vintage print in my Target frame can be found here. It's a free printable from The Graphics Fairy LLC. She has tons of amazing Easter photos!

 These are hand painted plastic eggs from a local famer's market in my sister's hometown. I put them in the cake stand from Liam's birthday party. I pretty much use it for every holiday now. I found the cake stand at Hobby Lobby for 40% off. Can you tell I love a deal?

 I made this super easy egg garland last year with eggs I found at Goodwill! You can find the tutorial here. Basically you just string plastic eggs.  ;)

This is the egg garland made with large eggs. It's in a basket on the dining room table, because Liam wouldn't leave it alone on my tablescape.

 

This amazing little hanging and the egg one on my front door were DIY projects made with trays from Dollar Tree. You can find the tutorial here from K.I.S.S. {Keep It Simple, Sister}.It really is super simple!

I hope to peruse the Easter clearance again this year and maybe snag some new Spring decor for next year.

Happy Spring!

An Easter Baptism!

 This past weekend was special for two reasons. It was the celebration of Easter and Liam's Baptism! My Grandmother, Mother, Sister, Aunt, Uncle and Cousin all came up for the Baptism. We had a great weekend together and witnessed a beautiful service on Sunday.  Pablo and I even got to sneak away on Friday evening for a date night. The family didn't mind, because they really only came for Liam. ha! We also celebrated my Grandmother's birthday! What an eventful weekend!

Liam decided since Sunday was his day he'd do things his way. During the music portion of the service, right before his Baptism Liam projectile vomited all over his bib. Luckily my sister caught it and his Baptism Gown didn't get too wet! He continued to spit up (read not projectile) during the service and even while we were in front of the church! Then he fell asleep while the congregation was doing the readings. He slept right through getting water poured over his head and woke up just in time to spit up on the Pastor who gave him back in a hurry. Never a dull moment....

I was a little worried about him, so I took him to the Doctor today. She said he probably just got overheated and had over eaten since he had no fever and it only happened once. He's been fine ever since and has wolfed down apples and brown rice & veggie soup today. 

Now for the pictures and I promise I will be getting back to the cloth diaper posts as soon as all this excitement dies down!

Two Easter baskets!
