Easter...a little late!

Where did April go? Last I checked, it was Good Friday, and now it's going to be May next week. Granted, I knew coming in to April that it was going to be a busy month, but I didn't think it would fly by quite so quickly!

Easter was very fun this year! We had a hard time keeping Ava out of the rest of the house until all of the eggs were ready to be found. I was a little concerned about the dogs getting into the candy-filled eggs, but we managed to keep things under control (and out of doggie mouths.)

Ava had a BLAST looking for all the eggs. I'm so happy that I counted the eggs before I hid them, as the last one was REALLY hard to find - I hid it too well! But, I need to give her some credit - she looked in places that I thought would have been too hard for her to locate. Next year...it's on! Let's see how good her tracking skills really are!

My favorite place that she looked was UNDER Darla. More than once, she went up to Dar, and tried to get under her to look. And St Darla just laid there and let her. For the millionth time, what a good dog...

The Easter Bunny tried to keep the basket under control this year...and we tried to take the focus off the candy. She only got jelly beans in the plastic eggs, and chocolate-covered sunflower seeds. But, then she got some other really fun non-food stuff. I LOVE this dress...I think this is what she'll be wearing for her 4-year photos.

On the hunt!

Is it there? Nope!

Good start, Ava!

How about under Darla? Good try!

We had a great Easter dinner at Scott's grandma's house...lots of family, great food, and happily, not a ton of candy!

This is a cute look...a fluffy skirt, no top, and a furry puppy. It certainly makes her happy!

After Easter, we had a really busy week, which led up to me leaving for Vegas for a week. And then my birthday. And continuing to work on the house. Seriously, non.stop.busy. But it's all fun and good, so I'm not complaining!

Snuggly Warm

It's the time of year to be cozy, so there's nothing better than sitting in front of a warm fire, reading a good book/watching a good show, and enjoying the glow of the Christmas tree. Even Pria thinks so! Pria was avoiding the vacuum earlier this week...she loves to be on Ava's bed! Getting cozy inside of a little fortress After a fairly busy week at school, work, and extracurricular activities, we all enjoyed a night at home on Friday. G and I built gingerbread houses (they both look a little sad, but we had fun), and then we all played Tractoropoly for a few hours. Turns out that G was stockpiling money, so we need to figure out his secret on how to save! Love Ava's face and hand placement here And we can't forget all of the treats that George brought this week! Sunday, December 10 "Can you get a bullseye?" Monday, December 11 "I'm brining Christmas Cheer, by singing loud for everyone to hear!" Tuesday, December 12 "Don't be the o

Barbie & George

We had a fun week to wrap up November. Last Saturday, Scott and I enjoyed a nice dinner out, and then a spontaneous trip to Home Depot...and we got some new exterior Christmas décor! But more important was the time spent together. Plus, it started to snow, so the view from the restaurant was beautiful (but the drive home was a little sketchy.) On Tuesday night, Ava and I headed out to the Mall of America to experience the Malibu Barbie Café. We had a blast exploring the area, eating the yummy food, and then shopping for a bit. It was a wonderful night evening spent together. Even the drinks were pretty! My Avocado Toast & salad Ava's Paradise Pancakes On Friday night, my book club gathered for our holiday party and it was a blast! We had such a good time chatting, eating, drinking, and finished off the night with a book exchange. I cherish and deeply appreciate the friendships that have developed with my neighbors because of this book club. And to really kick off the holiday se

Last Week of School & Work 2023!

We just wrapped up the final school and work (for Dee) week of 2023! The kids both had spirit week/dress up days this past week, and there were fun parties for G, and a holiday assembly for Ava. Kirk Cousins (Vikings QB) was the surprise guest speaker at RHS this week. Ava doesn't really follow football, so when she texted me a few pics during the assembly, she said "The one guy is here. Football" Hahahaha! She mentioned she heard a rumor that SpongeBob was going to be there, but alas, just a pro football player. What a neat surprise for the kids (except for Ava, lol) I had a few fun events this past week, as well. We had a happy hour/celebration for a completed project at work on Tuesday night, and then my neighbors/book club headed out to the local winery for a cookie decorating event on Thursday evening. I'm happy we don't have a full calendar next week! Swimming was unexpectedly cancelled on Monday, which was A-OK with us. G has some congestion, so I was going

Go, Go, Goers!
