Easter Sunday 2011

As much as I'm sure you guys love my random ramblings on bathrooms and book and squirrels I think I should take some time and tell you what I physically do not just mentally think (is that redundant?)

My dear mother decided to wake me up at 8 today so that I would be sleepy tonight (which I'm not) and not have a hard time waking up for school tomorrow. So I did a load or two of laundry, finished organizing my closet (spring clothes from now on!) and got ready for the brunch my mom prepared.

After eating a delicious assortment of breads and cheeses and dessert (a berry good cake *wink wink*). The little kids (yes, Valeria was included ha ha) went out and did an Easter egg hunt pictured below. Unfortunately I was not able to go out and enjoy in the fun of watching little children search for plastic eggs since I probably would have keeled over and had an asthma attack but I would have loved to have seen it! (yes that's all sarcasm guys)

After the little egg hunt we got changed again to go to Church in DC. We went to the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception (whew, that's a long name!) in DC and it's a very grand and beautiful church eight next to Catholic University. My mother being the "photo-crazed resident tourist" (as we secretely call her) took a freaking photo session of us all outside the church.

The three Sanabia siblings, reunited once again

I may be smiling but I secretly hate the fact that we are matching. There wasn't enough time to change, trust me.

I actually didn't know my mom shot this until I downloaded these pictures but I find it kind of cute.

We all piled into the car after the mass and after a confusing 30 minutes (I was lost and had no idea where we were going) we arrived at one of my favorite places in Virginia, Tysons Corner Mall! However we all had a shopping FAIL when we saw that all the stores and food courts were closed because, duh, it was Easter. So we once again piled into the car (ravenous this time) and came back home where once again almost everything was closed except for this little burger joint (Boardwalk and Fries for those of you that live around here) that had really good fries.

And then we finally came home and just relaxed for the rest of the evening. I did another load of laundry, downloaded a lot of pictures that I hadn't gotten the time to do and worked on my end of the semester Chemistry project. Today was probably the most relaxed day I've had this entire Spring Break since I've been out running or working or baking red velvet cake cupcakes (with frosting!) at Cappy's house (and organizing her messy closet! It looks great now though ;P ). Even though I would've liked another week of Spring Break I'm ready to go back to school, focus on my last quarter as a sophomore and then be done with sophomore year!

But before I go, what Easter isn't complete without some Peeps?? Happy Easter guys!

UYL,
