This past weekend was an amazing one.
Friday night Jason and I spent some quality couple time together. We went to a little restaurant in St. Paul that Jason's co-workers had recommended called The Little Oven. It's just a small hole-in-the-wall place with INCREDIBLE food! They're known for their pizza but the pasta looked pretty incredible so we compromised and shared one of each.
It was SO much food, but SO good! We still haven't finished all the leftovers.
Saturday morning we went up north to visit Jason's mom and step-dad. The own a ton of property and since it was such a beautiful day we spent most of it outside with all their animals.
Then we went in to town for a meat raffle, and of course, Jason won....a giant ham!
We ended up giving the ham to the Mayor of Bock...LONG story. It was a quick trip but it was great to go up for the day and spend some quality time with the in-laws.
Saturday night, Jason and I pulled out mattress downstairs to camp in the living room {one of my absolute favorite things that we do}.
We snuggled up and watched my boyfriend Leo in Inception {man I love that movie!} But the best part was eating some yummy cookies with milk!
My amazing mama sent me these homemade Koulourakia (Greek cookie typically made during Easter) from Arizona! They are my absolute favorite cookies and it was such a fabulous surprise!
Easter morning Jason and I got up and went to church. It's always so fun going back to the church where we were married.
After church we went to our favorite restaurant, Tony's Diner {where we had our Groom's Dinner} and had brunch. Tony makes THE BEST blueberry pancakes in town!
After brunch we went to Jason's Aunt and Uncle's house. Jason has an ENORMOUS family and it's always so much fun when everyone gets together.
{that's only about half of them}
Jay & Kerry {Jason's Aunt & Uncle} have a gorgeous house on a beautiful lake. So we had some fun riding the lawnmower (not actually mowing the lawn) and spending some time by the water.
It was an wonderfully blessed weekend filled with lots of family and lots of food.
I hope you all enjoyed your holiday and are having a great start to your week!
