The weather in Vancouver this weekend has been record breaking. Clear, blue skies, temperatures of at least 18 degrees Celcius and nothing but three whole days off to soak it all up! And soak it up we have!
The cherry blossoms are out in full bloom on our street, it is gorgeous! Couldn't resist getting outside to get some shots of them this weekend.
Sydney has managed to find every single flower that is blooming within a square block of our house and has been picking me some pretty lovely bouquets these days.
Last year on Good Friday, I took Sydney next door to the neighbors garden, which was in full bloom, to do a little photo shoot. Tried to do the same this year under brilliant blue skies but couldn't quite get her to pose, she was too busy trying to pick this Heather bush!
I am loving my new slate cheeseboard from Crate and Barrel. I love setting it out for Paul with absolutely everything on the platter labelled with chalk, always makes me smile!
On Friday night we celebrated the birthday of three of my very good Mom friends, Lori, Sally and Erin.
Christina opened up her home and we had a lovely dinner catered by Cioffi's Italian Deli. We dined on an antipasto platter, bruschetta, meat tray, chicken parmigana, caesar salad and beautiful breads!
I love how Christina decorated the table with foil covered Easter eggs!
Dessert was by far the best course, homemade tiramisu along with a lovely chocolate fondue that our friend Liz put together!
What a lovely celebration and an evening to remember!
Early this morning we all rolled out of bed and met at Dunbar park to do our first annual Easter Egg Hunt!
Each of the parents brought a pile of eggs for the kids to hunt for, in the end we had a giant ice bucket full of treats!
My friend Erin even hand dipped hard boiled eggs for everyone!
I love how Syd's buddy Kaitlyn showed up for the event, bunny ears and all!
The kids played at the playground while a few adults hid eggs in the trees beside and then we let them loose to fill their buckets!
Not only did we have eggs to find, but there were toys and bottle of bubbles and pinwheels and stickers....it was fantastic!
Sydney took her job of filling her bucket quite seriously and had a blast doing it!
In the end all of the children dumped their buckets back into the giant one and we divided the loot up evenly. All in all a great success and we could not have asked for a more beautiful day for it!
Sydney had great fun sorting everything out when she got home!
She even lined up all of her chocolate Easter eggs to see how many she had.
Once she was done emptying out all of her plastic eggs she put them in the decorative bowl I keep on our coffee table for a little festive decoration, gotta love it!
Sydney spent the evening at Jack's house tonight while Paul and I went for a walk and some dinner. I love that we got so much time outdoors today, I think I'm going to sleep well tonight!
