My Easter Weekend

I've all ready told you about the awesome gifts I got from my boyfriend, but I also got a nice gift from my parents:

Two similar necklaces in gold with diamonds, one with a ribbon and one with a heart, so pretty! 

I had such a nice time meeting my parents, little brother and grandma on Saturday, I ate delicious food and just had a great time with people I've really missed! I was also proud of myself for realizing that I was full after dinner and turn down dessert, it's so easy to just eat because it's a holiday and you feel you deserve a treat, but it's much nicer to just be moderately full instead. After dinner we went to visit our friends and see their new apartment.

On Sunday I celebrated my hangover ;___; Or, I wasn't really that hungover, but I'm sick so that makes everything worse. I just sat at home and did nothing all day and then worked for two hours and then we went to our friends house for the first barbecue 2011! I ate grilled chicken which was delicious thanks to my awesome marinade and the fact that Seb knows how to handle the grill. After dinner we played a game called "Rappakalja"(Gibberish) and I won! Way proud of myself, I usually never win :D

To sum it up I've had a really awesome time this weekend. What did you do? :)

My Easter

Hope you all have had a lovely time this weekend, with lots of egg-hunting and candy! At first I thought the egg-hunting was on Thursday, but then I found out it was on Saturday, so Saturday morning we went hide and seek in our apartment. It's really fun, I think it's important to keep the child in you, because you're never to old to play!

I loved the "egg" I received, it even beat last Easter! (last Easter I got a chocolate egg with chocolate pralines from Anton Berg, and also a Hello Kitty lipgloss ^_^).

 I had asked to get tea instead of candy, because I'm trying to be more healthy and not eat as much sweets. So I got this lovely tin can filled with the most amazing tea! It's like an Oriental mix with cinnamon, cardamom and citrus fruit, amazing mix. It's so good I don't even have to put milk and honey in it (which is important when you drink as much tea as I do ^_^).

But, since Sebastian knows about my sweet tooth, he got me a couple of macaroons anyway! Two of them are new (seasonal, I think) flavours which I hadn't tasted yet; Tahiti Vanilla and Lemon, delicious! If I were richer I'd have macaroons for breakfast everyday, makes me feel so pretty and French :D

Sunny nights

Tiny, green leaves have began to sprout on my Easter twigs, how lovely?! I really want to start to grow some flowers, I'm just usually so bad at keeping them alive.

Btw, this photo is taken at 8.15 at night, and it's still this light outside! I love Sweden in the Spring/Summer, the sun sets super-late, it really makes you so much happier. Tonight my neighbours are having a barbecue, it really feels like summer is finally here!

Decorating for easter

Today I bought some special Easter-twigs, feathers and tiny eggs to make an Easter decoration. Easter isn't a big a holiday as Christmas of course (for Christmas I go crazy, like Lily in HIMYM), but it's still nice to get some colourful decorations. On Thursday it's egg-hiding-day, and on Saturday we're invited to my parents' for Easter dinner.

Does this look weird to you? I don't know if these kinds of decorations are "international", but this is usually what every Swedish home looks like during Easter. How do you celebrate in your country? I guess Christians' celebrations differ a lot, like are probably more traditional and family-oriented? I just celebrate because it's fun!
