Happy Friday all! I can't believe this weekend is Easter. We will be dyeing our eggs tonight and then we have a jam packed weekend. We have two birthday parties and two Easter dinner celebrations. But I am so thankful for the nice weather and things starting to normalize a bit.
Anyways, onto Friday favorites and happenings.
ONE. So I did a whole blog post on kids Easter clothes and then I didn't buy anything from it. After checking the weather over and over again, I went ahead and order the girls a dress from Old Navy. They were having a sale, it was in stock at my local store for pick-up and it is very Spring like. So what did I chose?
Plus the girls will wear either sandals or dress shoes and their jean jackets.
TWO. And I bought myself a dress at Target that I hope to wear on Easter with a jean jacket as well. But if the weather isn't great, then I will do pants and a pastel shirt. I know my girls will wear a dress no matter the weather, so we will just make sure they have a jacket or a cardigan with it.
But here is my dress. And I got it on sale for 20% off when Target was having a sale last week. I originally saw it in stores, but they didn't have my size, XS, so I ordered it online.
This dress comes in so many colors. I also want the lavender and light yellow.
And if all else fails, I will wear the same outfit that I wore to my sister's baby shower.
THREE. Speaking of baby shower...my sister had her baby. I am an aunt again. If you follow me on Instagram, then you have already seen some of these, but I had to post them here and announce here. My nephew was born on March 20th (the day that we got back from Mexico), he was 6 lbs .5 oz and 18.5 inches long. His name is Caiden and he couldn't be cuter!
The girls were beyond excited to meet him. And they were even more excited when we went back a few days later to bring my sister and my brother-in-law food and snuggle the baby again.
I had a bad day on Wednesday and asked my sister if I could come over and see my nephew and she said of course. It was just what I needed to put things in perspective and brighten my day. I captured this after snuggling him for awhile.
FOUR. Speaking of things to brighten my day and week, I got to see some girlfriends last Sunday for brunch. It had been way too long and it was just what I needed. We had brunch and sat in the sun for hours.
FIVE. Weekly funnies.
Have a great weekend. I am linking up with A Little Bit of Everything.
Those dresses are so cute! Congratulations to your sister and on being an aunt again! He is so precious. Look at those big cousins. Brunch with girlfriends is always so fun. Hope you have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteThank you. He is absolute perfection! My girls are so excited to have a baby in the family again. They are obsessed with babies. Brunch was sooo needed. I hope you have a great Easter weekend too!
DeleteThe baby is so adorable! Congrats! I also love that dress you are getting!
ReplyDeleteThank you. He is so perfect. The dress is so comfy and cute!
DeleteCONGRATULATIONS, Auntie!!!!! The babe is so precious!!!!!
ReplyDeleteLove the dresses you picked for the girls. I wish my girls were little still... they don't enjoy dresses anymore so I don't know what they will be wearing Sunday. :( We are going to be getting an Old Navy in town this spring and I told my girls I can't wait. We will have so many options for the kids' clothes now.
Thank you so much. He is absolutely perfect!
DeleteMy girls are obsessed with dresses. They will pick a dress everyday if I let them. I guess I should enjoy it while I can. That is awesome. Old Navy comes in clutch for the holidays for sure.
Oh my gosh, Caiden is precious! Congrats to all!!! You can’t go wrong with Old Navy and that dress from Target has a great silhouette. Your hair looks really good in the pic with C. Have a wonderful Easter weekend!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I love the silhouette too. It works on most body types which is nice. Thank you so much. I washed it that day! Have a wonderful Easter weekend!!!
DeleteLook at that little blond baby!!!! I love the pics of the girls with him - makes them instantly look SO GROWN UP!!!!
ReplyDeleteThat peeps meme.. ughhh - I just got chills from the grossness of them.
I know, right? He is so blonde like my sister was. They do look really grown up. I love those photos and can't wait to watch them all grow up together.
DeleteThat is funny. Most people hate them!
Aw, congratulations Auntie! He's adorable.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much!

Thank you. I am a very happy aunt! We had a lovely Easter. I hope you did as well.
DeleteYou are correct. Peeps are disgusting and if you eat them then I can't be seen with you LOL! Your nephew is adorable! I miss a baby smell :( That pink dress from Target is gorgeous!!! It would go great with a jean jacket and white slip on shoes!
ReplyDeleteHahaha. that is so funny. People definitely have strong opinions on peeps. I missed the baby smell too! I wore it with a jean jacket and some wedges. It was a hit.
DeleteCongratulations to your sister! He is absolutely perfect! And so tiny!
ReplyDeleteYes he is. And thank you so much!
DeleteThat funny about teachers really made me laugh! To answer it: probably! LOL! Brunch looks FUN. Congratulations to your sister!
ReplyDeleteIt is a good one! I love memes and making people laugh. Especially after a long week. And thank you so much. She is doing great as a new mom!
