A Day with Auntie


This morning Sydney and I woke up to another bright and sunny day.  We really could not have asked for better weather for her first week off for Spring Break!

We climbed into the car and drove around early this morning to our friend's houses in the neighborhood, dropping off Easter bags and baskets stuffed with treats.  It was a fun way to start the day!



Then we drove out to Coquitlam to meet up with my sister for the day.  We met at Bouclair Home, a new store that opened last month.


It is such a neat store, filled with fun and colourful items, very reasonably priced and great for wandering through if you're needing a little inspiration for decorating a room!

I ended up coming home with a sectioned serving dish for myself and an organizer for Sydney to keep her own scrapbooking and craft supplies in.



She was quite thrilled to have this, as soon as we got home she immediately started filling it with things!  My girl loves to organize, just like her Momma!


After shopping we went for lunch at Cora.  I had heard such great things about this restaurant but had never had the chance to try it before.  It was so good!



I had the most delicious asparagus and Swiss cheese eggs benedict which came accompanied with a pile of fruit that was cut in the most amazing patterns!  Loved it!


My sister brought along an Easter present for Sydney, a bucket stuffed with stickers, colouring books, crayons, a stuffed bunny and some craft projects.


Sydney had great fun painting the ceramic chick that was in the bucket, later that day!



On the way home we stopped at the park to enjoy the sunshine for a while.


Sydney and Daddy spent some time in the backyard together while I was making dinner.  Syd collected a leaf bouquet for me along with a big rock for the middle.


It was a fun day for Easter gifts.  When we got home from Coquitlam we found a bag on the front porch from Sydney's friend Weston filled with all sorts of fun things:


And her friend Emma gave her the cutest trio of decadent chocolate bunnies from Thomas Haas:


Ollie popped by tonight with his Mom to bring Sydney a treat from Purdy's, a bunch of chocolate treats and some Playdough Easter eggs.


Such a fun time of year!
