Easter Weekend Recap

Easter-oh my heart!  What a time of celebration!  I cannot believe that just this day last year we were packing up all our things from our first apartment together and moving to a townhouse on Daniel Island-ish.  Rich and I both remember so vividly how rough that move was.  I feel like Easter 2015 just didn't exist!  This year was oh so different,.  My parents came up for the weekend to visit us in Virginia and we loved having family in our four walls finally!  

Can I just share how amazing KONGS are for our dogs?  Company is REALLY tough for our high energy fur children, and thanks to peanut butter and the freezer, these KONGS become the most amazing distractions.  I caught this photo of them kong-ing away while we had breakfast one morning.  This picture is truly a photo of a FAMILY meal. I am a strong promoter of all things KONG, so if you have wild doggies like us, you will want to grab this from your local petstore of here! 

We spent part of Saturday at the oceanfront in Virginia Beach and a little place on the water called Rudees.  It was the closest we've found to a great place in Charleston called Reds. We had lots of great family laughs at this lunch time together.   

Completely guilty of pinteresting these little Easter basket cookies.  You can find the recipe here.  It is so simple and a pretty treat for kids (or....adults!)

After church we had a nice Easter brunch and a beautiful chance to use our china.  Love the chance to set our table for a real meal!

Easter evening we headed to Lifegroup and had a great potluck with about 14 great folks and lots of kids.  We played games, ate WAY too much food, and caught a few minutes of March Madness on tv.  

Speaking of tv, my bestest buddy friend Danny was on Hollywood Game Night and...umm WON!  He won 25,000 and it was so fun cheering him on Sunday night,  I can't believe I stayed up that late but I was so hyped he won I couldn't even fall asleep after.  It was an AWESOME way to wrap up a great easter weekend!
