Scenes from the Weekend

The wonderful weekend started with a casual dinner out with the family Friday night. It was a tad warm and I cant resist sporting my sandals and tunic. I can't believe we had a mild winter and I'm already wearing spring/summer clothes. I guess I should not be complaining and just enjoy it! 

I also started decorating our home for the easter holiday. I chanced upon some $0.99 glitter ornament eggs and started decorating with them. I also had confetti eggs on hand. Those went inside my apothecary jars. For more of my easter home decor, visit my other blog. 

Saturday morning, we started really early and had brunch at City Centre's, Cyclone Anaya's for some yummy  mexican breakfast fare. It was such a gorgeous day and we spent half the day there and we drove off to the Woodlands for more leisurely driving! 

My niece Ailynne celebrated a birthday this past Sunday and we were off to meet them at Coal Vine's for lunch. The ambiance was fantastic as well as the food. We had a grand time gathering with family and relatives! 

Finally, I ended the weekend with some crafting. I am planning to decorate easter basket/buckets for my friends' kids and here are my paraphernalia. More on that later. 

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend! 

Sunday Snapshots

It's the first sunday of the year and this is officially my first blog post for 2011! 

I am just amazed how the holiday break went by so fast and I'm quite not ready to put down the Christmas decor just yet. So I spent the last few days taking snapshots of random things in the house and some sneak shots of Aston as I debut a weekly blog post feature called "Sunday Snapshots".  

I'm still playing around with my new camera and I'm loving the images it takes! I hope you like it as well.....

December 12

It was my sister Lilith's 3rd death anniversary and we spent the day attending mass and witnessing their wonderful christmas cantata, which we look forward to year after year. We had a great gathering and fellowship afterwards over luncheon and the kids had a fun decorate-a-cookie project after their hearty meal!
