Scenes From Our Easter Weekend

I hope everyone had a great Easter Weekend!! Ours was excellent, super relaxing filled with lots of quality family time!


I tried out the stripes and brights trend.


You won't believe this but I found these jeans at Target. They are only $22 and I swear the fit is as good as expensive jeans. They have stretch in them which I love and they were long enough for me (I am almost 5"10 so finding long jeans is always an issue). My Target was pretty much sold out of all colors and sizes but I did manage to snag my size in the Lemon Yellow. I looked online when I got home and they have red, purple, green, blue, pink, really any color you could want (HERE). I will say order up a size from what you normally wear, these jeans run on the small side (I could not even get the 7 up over my hips and had to get a size 9).

On Saturday we enjoyed some quality family time.







We painted some Easter Eggs. I figured Sterling was still a little young to paint actual eggs so we did paper ones. I swear my little man is going to be an artist, he's got some major talent.


Later that afternoon Matt whipped up a batch of mojitos made with fresh mint from our garden. They were so good, I gulped down three (quickly)!




Our sweet next door neighbor steamed us the most amazing crab legs. Pure heaven and yes, we ate every last one of them



On Sunday we headed to church. But first little man got a peak at what the Easter Bunny brought him. He loved all the chocolate and his bunny ears.


My Easter Sunday Dress: Tibi Dress (from about 3 years ago).



I tried to snap a picture post church but it is next to impossible to get this little guy to stay still for a second!


Later I finally got him to pose for a solo picture!

Happy Monday! Hope your week is off to a great start!

Happy Easter! Love your Tibi dress and I spied those pants at Target too. I was too chicken to try them on since I had just finished a big lunch. I need to go back! Looks like you had a wonderful Easter and congrats on Grit!

So cute! I had the same issues with the Target jeans. I left feeling defeated. If I have to go up in sizes I am immediately turned off. Maybe I will give her another go. Congrats on Grit. You deserve it!

Can Matt come and make me some of those Mojitos???

I did a post about those target jeans a couple of weeks ago, how they are a fraction of the cost of Jbrand, I love them. I originally bought them in a size 7 too and could not get them past my thighs so I had to go with a 9 as well. I was relieved to find out they were junior sizes
