Sarah came home for Easter on Thursday evening. Dan was still in Ireland so the two of us enjoyed dinner and Love on the Spectrum and got caught up on all the things. And on Friday, she and Brad joined me and Mom on our weekly shopping and lunch at Village Tavern.
Sarah left to spend the evening with Joe and his family and then Peter and Dan both made it home. I fixed some pasta and we got caught up on Survivor.
On Saturday after errands and yardwork and baking, we had dinner at Quanto Basto and then came home and watched tv (I don't even remember what we watched, I just enjoyed having all of my people in the same room together.)
On Sunday we attended Easter Mass and then had lunch at mom's house. It was a delicious steak dinner and I made my famous carrot cake. Well, maybe not famous, but it's certainly delicious!
On Sunday afternoon, we headed downtown to visit a couple of breweries and to watch the Canes game. When we got home, I made a batch of my famous pepperjack pimento cheese toasts. Well, maybe not famous, but they are certainly delicious! And then, just like that, our Easter weekend was over.
I said my goodbyes to everyone on Monday morning before I headed off to work. Dan was working from home in the morning before heading back to the airport. Peter was working from home before heading back to Raleigh and Sarah was heading back to Charlotte for a night class.
Imagine my excitement and surprise when I got a text at work asking if I wanted to join them all for lunch at Dario! My yes was immediate and they picked me up shortly after that and we spent another hour together before we all official went our separate ways.
It was such a nice laid-back weekend with my favorite people. I enjoyed every single minute. And why is it that I sleep so much better when everyone is home under one roof?
I typically try to get family photos on mom's front porch on Easter Sunday after lunch but it was chilly and rainy and I totally forgot. That's my one and only regret of the weekend. Here are the only pictures I took this weekend...

We won't all be together again until next month when we are celebrating Sarah's college graduation. Where oh where has the time gone?
