Easter Weekend, Family & 30th Birthday Celebrations

Easter weekend here was a great weekend! My brother-in-law and his fiance came into town, and it was there first time here since our house had been finished. It also happened to be John's 30th birthday, which was such a fun celebration as well.

Being in DC means we have tons of brunch options... bottomless brunch options! We went to one of our favorite spots on U Street, called Local 16. Where else can you choose any entree, including (breakfast) pizzas, and bottomless mimosas, bellinis, Blood Mary's, beer, coffee and juice. The food is delicious, but the best thing is the bottomless part of it for sure! They come in big mason jars, and they keep coming.





After the brunch, we ventured downtown to see the cherry blossoms, however they hadn't bloomed yet. It's okay though, because we veered off course and stopped at Hotel Washington's P.O.V which is their rooftop bar that has by far the most beautiful view of the city, overlooking the White House and all the monuments. Such a great place to take visitors. This past weekend I had a couple girlfriends in town and we did the same thing - brunch and Cherry Blossoms - and they had peeked! They were beautiful, and I can't wait to share pictures.



Easter morning we had my parents and grandparents over for breakfast after Mass, and we had such a great, delicious spread! Didn't take any pictures of it :( We had some downtime (naptime and Parenthood marathon) for a few hours until it was time to go to my grandparents' house for dinner. We were so happy that the in-laws joined us, it made the family time wonderful!

My grandmother cooked the BEST ham that we had ever had. Everyone was raving about it, and we were so thankful that my grandmother drove to our house a couple days later and dropped off some leftovers that we didn't take with us.













One year in our home!
