We had a busy weekend at home in St. Paul this weekend. Saturday we prepared food all afternoon for a joint 25th B-day party for me and an engagement party for both of us for our family and friends in Minnesota. We had a wonderful time and great weather so that we could enjoy 1919 root beer while chatting out on the back porch. There was a DQ ice cream cake for my bday and a marble cake from PJ Muphy’s for the engagement that was beautifully decorated with pussy willows (my favorite), pink roses, and little heart sprinkles. Both were tasty! Sunday was Easter. We went to the 9:30 service at Gloria Dei which was so packed that we sat on folding chairs in the back and it was a little hard to hear Dad’s duet in the anthem at the beginning of the service. Afterwards, we joined Omi and Opa and several of my mom’s side of the family at the Town and Country Club for Easter brunch which was delicious as always. We finished the night off coloring easter eggs and playing some games at home. Now It’s Monday and Flanders is happy to have me home in Madison for the start of another work week. Pictures of the Gloria Dei and the Club are under the wedding venues tab if you would like to see where we will be having our wedding and reception.
