Easter Sunday Fun Day!

Happy Easter everyone! Our weekend was amazing! What made it even better was that Eden and I were able to share our weekend with great company. My friends from UCLA came up to Fresno to visit us. I have been looking forward to this weekend for over a month. Let me tell you, I had everything planned down to the minute because I really wanted to savor every moment they were here. We talked about visiting each other since college graduation. I'm not exactly sure how we were able to make it happen this weekend despite everyone's crazy and hectic schedule, but we did and I'm so grateful for it.

They surprised me on Friday night. I heard the doorbell and immediately I ran to let them in. It was literally a college reunion at my door step. I let out an, "OMG, finally you're here!" Of course, I was jumping up and down and I grabbed each of them to gave em a bear hug (yes, I'm a hugger kind of gal). I was super excited and just couldn't keep it in. They could easily tell. (I wear my expression on my face, what can I say). A minute after our "hello"/"OMG" moment, they looked at me and said, "Where's the baby? We want to see the baby!" Mind you, they haven't seen her since birth when they visited me at the hospital so they were definitely due for a major visit. She woke up and they couldn't believe how big she got. We reminisced all night about our college days and caught up with pretty much everything. From there on, I knew our weekend had only just begun.

The friends helped me put together the Easter egg hunt and baskets. I even went hunting for the eggs myself. So fun. Gotta live out those childhood years. 

Eden was digging into her Easter basket. She collected about two eggs before she called the hunt quits. She was more interested in how the plastic eggs tasted after that. :)

Such a cute portrait of all of us. I'm so grateful to have amazing friends who are so supportive. This was right before they had to leave so I was crying inside.

One of the nights, we made homemade sushi. I was actually surprised how great they came out. My friends and I searched every single supermarket in Fresno to find seaweed wrap. Ok just two supermarkets. For some reason, Vons didn't carry seaweed wrap. That's just so disappointing. :(

Like I said, I went hunting for Easter eggs partly because Eden had settle for two eggs. It was fun. My friend, Armine got clever and tried to hide one of the eggs under a piece of moss. That would have been difficult for a 9-month old. LOL

The besties and Eden. They absolutely adore her. Even though Eden wasn't feeling well this weekend, she was still so happy to see them. The last night she unleashed her crying spell on and kept them up all night. Sorry guys! They were concerned for her and wanted to rock her to sleep. The best part of the weekend was having four extra pair of hands to help me take care of Eden. It was a glory win for me!
