The kid is napping and I should be getting ready for the day- this usually happens at 6am- but I overslept this morning (till 7 am) and it was great! She is so cute right now when you put her down for naps. No matter how tired or asleep she already is, when you set her down she starts flailing all of her limbs wildly for 30 seconds, takes a deep breath, and then is completely still and asleep :). It's one of her many cute things.
Easter weekend was very lovely and fairly stress free. Friday and Saturday were cookie madness again as I prepared cookies for Trinity and James' renewal ceremony. The ceremony was very sweet and their little family looked so cute!
The rest of Saturday was spent preparing for Sunday company and lunch and hanging out with our friends Kali and Joel- the conversation was too good to cut short and we stayed up a little later than normal. During their visit I baked a banana chocolate chip cake (bundt cake- RECIPE BELOW!) and prepared the ham glaze for Easter lunch. My parents and brother and sister-in-law came over for lunch yesterday which was such a treat as I don't see them as often as I'd like. Eden was pretty fussy at the start of lunch and after trying everything else we stripped her down. Apparently she felt like celebrating Christ's victory in the nude and spent lunch all but naked. Clearly there was no need to make her a dress :).
Today is iphone day! Thomas put my phone together yesterday and surprise, surprise, it worked. WHAT??!!!! Yeah, it survived going through the dishwasher. I had tried on two previous occasions to resurect this phone to no avail- apparently the battery was the only thing wrong. We decided that we would keep it as a back up for the next time Thomas destroys his phone (he's used up all the trade-in's the phone insurance allows). If you have an iphone, tell me what your favorite ap is!!
