Easter and a Birthday all in one day!
When: Sunday April 24, 2011
What:
Light Pink dress: Dorians (Panama)
Polka dot wedges: Estampa (Panama)
Black Nine West belt: TJ Maxx
Black Liz Claiborne purse: TJ Maxx
Heart Swarovski necklace: Present from my dad :)
Where:
Easter brunch + Shopping with my brothers + Birthday dinner with my family
Comments:
To celebrate both special occasions, we decided to go to a delicious Easter brunch at a nice hotel. The food was delicious, but the true star of the event was the dessert table. It was by far THE best dessert table I have EVER seen. They had sooooo many desserts, it was enough to drive any diet-girl crazy!
Anyway, she really MADE my day... I felt sooooo special throughout the rest of the day... Thank you for coming up to say hi, you really made me happy!
Later that evening, we celebrated my sister's birthday. Annie is such a wonderful sister and friend to me. I know I can count on her for anything!
So all in all, a wonderful Easter and family birthday! I even have a new Easter monkey that is joining my ever-growing monkey family (My boyfriend and I call each other monkeys for no particular reason, so I love everything that has to do with monkeys... hehe). Isn't he adorable?!

Today sure was a busy busy day! Today was not just Easter Sunday (Btw, Happy Easter everyone!), but it was also my sister's birthday! How about that for a busy day?
To celebrate both special occasions, we decided to go to a delicious Easter brunch at a nice hotel. The food was delicious, but the true star of the event was the dessert table. It was by far THE best dessert table I have EVER seen. They had sooooo many desserts, it was enough to drive any diet-girl crazy!
I especially loved how they decorated some of the desserts. I really enjoyed all the cute spring colors and the adorable sugar cookies.
They even had TWO chocolate fountains in which we could dip strawberries, marshmallows, cookies, and pretzels... talk about YUM!?
Needless to say, I went back for seconds.... and thirds... and well fourth and fifths... hehe. My mom and I had a wonderful time cheating on our diets :)
Something really cool happened today during brunch! A very lovely lady came up to me and introduced herself. To be honest, I wasn't quite sure who she was (that happens to me quite often).
It turns out that she is a fellow blogger who reads my blog!! WAO! I can't believe that she recognized me! What are the odds of encountering a reader of my blog?.. In Panama, the chances are nearly zero.
Anyway, she really MADE my day... I felt sooooo special throughout the rest of the day... Thank you for coming up to say hi, you really made me happy!
I had such a wonderful time at brunch with my family. I learn to love each member of my family a little more every day... we are truly blessed to have each other.
Later that evening, we celebrated my sister's birthday. Annie is such a wonderful sister and friend to me. I know I can count on her for anything!
Happy birthday Annie! I love you!

Happy Easter everyone!

Hi Marie !
ReplyDeleteIt was a real nice surprise running into you yesterday :) - who would have thought I'd run into anyone who's blog I read ?
I hope I didn't scare you -It was SOOOO unexpected-

Your outfit is so beautiful! I absolutely love anything pink, especially in that shade (it's one of my wedding colors!).
ReplyDeleteAlso, your Easter monkey is super cute! :)
Happy late easter! You look lovely as well- very 50s! Happy birthday to your sister. All those treats look so yummy!! And so funny that you ran into someone who read your blog. I haven't had that happen to me yet.
