hug a canadian


my sunday best: dress three was $16 at a consignment store in idaho falls. one fixed hem later and i had myself and easter dress! it fits like a dream and it has pockets. a dress without pockets is like pie without cheese! (i know that totally makes no sense but lan told me the old people say that in canada. i love old people. and canada. and cheese. so let's roll with it.)

in other easter news: we ate our guts out with our only family in idaho, lisa & ryan. (lisa is my second cousin) they are funny and pregnant and having a boy. i made this cake and might have gained 5 pounds while eating it (and 2 more just now thinking about it sitting in my fridge.)

happy easter sunday!

p.s. still not tight-less in idaho. i woke up to snow one day this week. it's april somewhere.

That dress is just lovely! My dad likes to put cheddar cheese on his apple pie (and we're both Canadian) so maybe that has something to do with the saying! (Ok, probably not, I think the cheese on pie thing is a little odd...)

Loving your blog! Keep up the awesome posts! Oh! We had snow here last week and today it was all sunshine and heat! Maybe April is on its way.

Cute dress!

ps. cheddar cheese on apple pie is AMAZING! You should try it sometime :) then you can say you gained 7lbs instead of 5 :) the cheese will do that...

i love the dress.
and that quote reminds me of pushing daisies, cheese and pie. save a tree, hug a beaver.
