An Easter Celebration with Everyone

Easter was special this year. Not that it's not always, it's probably the most special holiday of the year in that regard, but we changed up our holiday tradition.

Since it was Master's weekend and Master's Sunday is not only John's favorite day of the year, but according to him also a non travel day. With that made known, we extended an open invitation to both sides of our families to join us for church and lunch at our house afterwards.

Being that Easter is a Big Celebration of Life we decided to expand our little gathering and include two of our dear family friends were in town as well. Making that a total of 15 peeps in our little rancher, dad said it best ...'Dear God thank you for this special day and for the celebration of your son's life and thank you for bringing so many loved ones together into the smallest house in Buckhead' !

Luckily for me, everyone brought the feast and I was just in charge of setting the table.

We missed those that couldn't make it, especially our siblings, but it was definitely an Easter for the books.

Note: my knife setting is improper and the tulips are wilted. I forgot to put water in the vases. Oops.

 Always fun to bring out the China

Weekend

Wow, it's already Wednesday.

Bloggin' sometimes sneaks away from you.

I jetted off for the weekend to celebrate my dear cousin's upcoming wedding. Living in NYC she wanted guaranteed sun, so we escaped to this fabulous boutique resort. It was delightful & FUN. And I got to see my sister who I hadn't seen since Christmas.

Here is the bride dressing the part. We kept it classy.

My other cuz, her sis & MOH, did such a great job with all the details & accessories. These were delicious cupcakes from a local bakery that devoured at all hours of the night.

After a long weekend of sun & fun, I then carried on the getaway to one of my most favorite events of the year with husband, brother, & his gf...

It's a tradition like no other, and we had a blast. In fact, John says he added a nice contribution to our 'china cabinet'. That's 32 cups just in case you're curious.

It was the perfect weekend filled with lots of family quality time.

Doesn't get any better than that.

Spring Obsession: Minted

I'm no fashionista, but I think it's safe to say the official trend of the moment is anything Mint.

The color is all over the place. It's making it's mark on everything from denim, to dresses, to accessories, and even kitchens.
