Shannon came into town Thursday for the weekend and we had so much fun! It was her first time meeting Sophia and she quickly fell in love with our little beauty. I worked for a few hours Friday and after we had a girls day with manis and pedis, followed by a spontaneous decision for an early dinner @ 5th Street Steakhouse...yes...on Good Friday! After we ordered our steaks, we all had to sit back and laugh to ourselves, especially that the place was packed with meat lovers!
I worked Saturday and Shannon and Chris hung out with Sophia. Daddy watched college b-ball at Chad's and I got some one on one time with Sophia. That night we decided to go out.
Now going out with Shannon was a normal thing 2 years ago. After having a baby though, everything has changed. Not only do I not go out, my sense of self has apparently changed too. While getting ready, she told me my outfit of choice was too "business like." I almost died laughing because I knew she was right. So after a change of clothes and a self esteem image boost, we were off. LaSalles it was for a fun night. We shortly realized we were...yes...old! We only knew the bartenders and our good friend Jared who was overly delighted to see us. After many drinks (and shots), next was the Banshee, a stop at Jacks for a "tuna melt!" we arrived home at 4:30 am.
After 3 hours of sleep, I was up and at em' for Easter egg hunting and brunch. After making the strongest pot of expresso possible for Shan and I, we quickly managed to somehow get dressed, apply makeup and get Sophia dressed. Canyon Oaks, here we come! We arrived in jeans, without a second though but Christopher didn't seem to inform us of the no jeans policy in the country club. After being seated in the corner of the bar area, away from our friends feeling 2 inches tall, I made the executive decision to go home and change. We brought Christopher back some khakis, and settled in to a lovely brunch. Water never tasted so good and although my eyes were puffy and red from a night filled of fun, we took some great family shots over looking the green.
We came home, they went through the Easter baskets...
...and I began the task of making Easter dinner. Suddenly going out was becoming more and more of a death sentence.
In the end, the cola basted ham (thanks Paula Deen) and scalloped potatoes were great. I had luckily made the carrot cake cheesecake in advance on Saturday evening, which was a blessing in disguise. Nonetheless, our Easter weekend went out with a bang! Our friends Neal, Krista and their daughter Tatum came over for the feast. I bought a bottle of Mumm's Cuvee M which was thoroughly enjoyed (especially by the men...lol).
After they left, we popped in The Hangover which was completely appropriate given the physical and mental state of Shan and I and finally fell asleep at 1 am after Sophia.
Lots of living, lots of laughs and of course lots of love for Sophia's first Easter!!!
Much love,
