this weekend, I headed to San Diego to celebrate Easter with my family. It was LOVELY being home (if you haven't caught on yet, i am IN LOVE with my niece, Madeline) and getting to spend some time with the fam!!! Saturday night Madeline and I hung out for a bit - we read stories - sang songs, cuddled, and then SCREAMED because it was bed-time. Life is hard when you're almost 3. Sleeping is absolutely the MOST unfortunate possibility.
Sunday we were up bright and early to set up Easter gifts and head to church. I didn't go ALL out for M, but being favorite aunt definitely requires gifts - so I obliged with a plethora of princess oriented paraphanelia. I am sure her parents are just THRILLED about the lipgloss! ha!
When M came RUNNING DOWN THE AISLE towards me at church, I almost lost it over her cuteness. Little girl had her hair curled and nails painted - as her dad would say "she is ALL girl" and i am SO happy - she is JUST like her aunt!
Seriously, just look at her - isn't she the cutest thing you've ever seen! ahhhhh TENDER! Monday was a "work day" for me...I spent a few hours with my dear friend Anna Garcia - she is graduating from Medical School in June and I have the EXTREME honor and privledge of creating her graduation announcements. They are ALMOST done - but we needed to finalize - so we met for lunch @ Panera to finish it up. After lunch we bought bridesmaid shoes for Jenny's wedding (we're both bridesmaids) and then did a quick (or not so quick because i had a really hard time being decisive - maybe Anna is rubbing off on me a bit) blitz through Macys. We ended the afternoon with frozen yogurt and a birthday necklace for Anna!
When I left Anna's, I went (almost) straight to Jenny's to work on the table number and placecard design for her wedding in July. I must say - it is SO fun and overwhelmingly gratifying getting to design for the major events in my friend's lives - it truly is my joy, and I hope it continues to be a gift I can give for MANY years!
