easter sunday 2014

first dress: kate spade, second dress: h&m

We had a jam-packed Easter holiday, and even though we were exhausted at the end of it, it was time well spent with our families. Brad had committed to play at church, so I went to church with my parents, followed by brunch at Rise No 1. Rise is one of my favorite restaurant "experiences" in Dallas with a menu so decadent and flavorful and an ambiance that is so perfectly French. Their marshmallow soup is a staple, and in addition to the Rise Salad (fyi AMAZING dressing), we split the jambon and gruyere soufflé and the mac 'n cheese soufflé. We agreed that the jambon and gruyere was the best, but in all fairness, it will always be so. For dessert, the chocolate soufflé was a no brainer, and it.was.divine.

I joined Brad at his grandmother's house for Easter lunch, and after a few hours we moved on to his grandpa's house. Brad's mother had been mentioning how pretty the bluebonnets were at Grandpa's, and lo and behold, she was right. Bluebonnet patches were littered all throughout the backyard, and they were the most radiant shade of blueberry. I felt like a true Texan after our bluebonnets photo-op.

We finished our Easter holiday at my parent's house for Campisis and easter baskets and Pimms Cups. Thank you, Easter Bunny!

"Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting?" The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
