My first bridal shower was from our church family. My sister and mom hosted the shower at the church and decorated the hall beautifully. It was filled with lots of pink, hearts, and all things girly. The food was delicious and J and I got more gifts than we deserve. Here is what I wore. Dress is from Target. My sister made these adorable centerpieces. Thank you to my wonderful hostesses! I can’t wait for our friends shower at the end of March!

Snow Day
On Monday we got roughly 4 inches of snow which has now all melted and temps are supposed to be in the 50’s today. Thanks goodness we took advantage of it when we did and headed out to play.

I was scared at first that Ben would fly off but he held on like a champ and had a blast. After an hour and half we had to drag him out of the snow. Anyone else get/play…

That morning before work and school I “baked” a heart shaped breakfast (i.e. formed pre-made cinnamon rolls into hearts) let Ben open some goodies from his grandparents, and J and I exchanged presents. That afternoon…

I normally wouldn’t wear my hair this casual if I were meeting with clients, but since I was sans clients this day out came the braid and bun. A delicious lunch. Roasted chicken and sun dried tomato pesto sandwich. Friday night I enjoyed some wine our friends had gifted us for Christmas and we watched The Descendants. It was pretty good and not too depressing until the end. Saturday J and I attacked the house and by 1:00 pm it was completely cleaned and organized. J’s mom came and picked up little…

Our Weekend In Iphone Pics
Our weekend was jam packed. We celebrated J’s mom’s birthday with lunch and of course this was the one thing I didn’t snap any pictures of.

I mean, how adorable is he? Check out his mom’s blog here. I finally hung up Ben’s growth chart that I ordered from Paper Coterie around Christmas. He’s measuring just under 37 inches tall. Now that he’s mastered spelling his name, in part to his parents choosing a ridiculously easy name to spell, Ben has moved on to writing…
