Easter day this year was chilly and rainy but that didn’t stop the fun of eggs and baskets and lots of family time. The weekend before Easter we broke out the classic Paas kits and got to decorating. Jack also had a little party at school on Good Friday. Pottery Barn Easter Baskets were out and ready for the boys to rip through on Sunday morning before heading to church with my family. Both boys stayed upstairs during the service instead of going to Sunday School and did fairly well despite the pretty long service. After church my parents, sister and her family headed back to our house where we…

Saturday night J and I watched No Escape before going out for a late (9:30pm) dinner at our favorite…

Christmas Time Recap 2015
Since I missed recaping almost all of our December happenings, I thought I’d do one big post about what we’ve been up to this month. I also Googled whether Christmas Time was in fact two words or one and in fact both are correct, so now you know. We started the month off by putting up the tree and getting all the decorations out. Jack’s school hosted a Breakfast with Santa with a pretty sad looking Santa I might add. And after breakfast we made these ornaments with our cousin. My pajama obsession continued on strong and I couldn’t resist these seals wearing hats. My work hosted a milk and cookies event…

Merry Christmas!
I know I’m a few days late but I just wanted to pop in and wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and happy New Year. We made it back from Disney just in time for Santa to stop by our house and boy did he spoil all of us this year. I’m hoping to recap our Christmas before the New Year and of course I’ll post all about Disney in the upcoming weeks. Until then, here’s two of my favorite pictures from our trip-Christmas time at Disney was even more magical than I could have imagined. Outside our hotel room at Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort. Over 200,000 lights on Cinderella’s…
