Easter Weekend

This weekend the weather was perfect and we took full advantage! Unfortunately for us, the company we work for does not give us Good Friday off, so I had to sit through a full day of work.

On Friday night we headed out to the Ballpark for a Ranger game! Danny had bought playoff tickets for the Rangers last season (wishful thinking) and since they didn't end up making it to the playoffs they had to refund our money. It took a couple of months to get the refund and we got an email the other day saying we had four free tickets to the game as a thank you for our patience! Awesome!

Micah and Holly went with us to the game and we had a great time! The weather was pretty much perfect and the Rangers won the game!

Danny made my shirt!

After the game we came home and sat on the porch drinking wine and chatting. I am totally loving having a nice, big porch. We don't have nice, comfy patio furniture out there yet but we are starting to realize that it may be a necessity for us with as much time as we have been spending out there.

Saturday we decided to take advantage of more great weather and we headed to the tennis courts. There were tons of people out there playing legitimate games while Danny and I were out there just hitting the ball back and forth. At one point we tried to play an actual game but Danny is not very good at serving so we were basically just standing around waiting for him to get the ball over the net. So, we ditched that idea and just went back to hitting the ball to each other and running around. It was a pretty fun time, but we forgot to bring water so we only lasted about 45 minutes before we had to leave and get some refreshments.

The rest of the day consisted of more sitting outside on the porch, running errands, sushi dinner and more wine on the porch after dinner. During our errand running we went up to Nordstrom Rack where Danny got me some new sunglasses and dress as an early birthday present! Then he even drove me to Marshall's and Dillards so I could do some more shopping. He actually stayed in the car and napped at both of these places but I was just thankful that I didn't have to deal with parking the car. Shopping on the weekends in Dallas = HORRIBLE PARKING. While at Dillards I found a dress for an upcoming wedding shower that we are having in Brownsville and a potential dress for the rehearsal dinner so my shopping trip ended up being pretty successful.

Today we started off our day by making some of the goodies for Easter lunch since we hosted Danny's family at our house and then we headed to church for the 11 am Mass. We got to church about 15 minutes early and it was packed! We had to stand the entire time. It ended up not being too bad and the Mass was not as long as we were expecting so we were actually out of there in a little over an hour.

We came home and finished cooking and spent the rest of the day celebrating Easter with Danny's parents and brothers.

My little cook. He had to wear my apron!

Ollie-kins! Doesn't he kinda look like a bunny?
