Easter

Another busy holiday under our belt. We had an awesome time celebrating with both of our families this weekend. Nina had her first visit from the Easter Bunny!! He brought her a swimsuit for this summer complete with matching shades, a wooden horse she can pull around, a pinwheel, bib, and new summer outfit. We dyed Easter eggs and fit in a trip to a petting zoo! Whew! A fun filled first Easter.

MN Trip

So I have no pictures to show for this trip, but we did have an amazing time back in MN! We stayed with Brandon, who was an awesome host. We arrived on Friday night and cooked out with Brandon, Tara, Zach and Betty.

The next day Nina and I had a girls day after a yummy breakfast made by the one and only Mr. Brandon Salcedo. We went out to lunch with Betty and Allison, then attended Krystal's baby shower. A fun day with lots of DZ ladies. The boys got to have a golfing day while Nina and I were out.

That night we met up with friends at The Urban Eatery. Nina had a late night, and did a very fashionable "costume" change into her jammies. The food and drinks were great and the company was even better.

The next morning we all met up again for an amazing brunch at the Good Times cafe. We loved seeing everyone and miss our MN friends every day! Good thing we can visit often!
