This week was kicked off with Easter Sunday. Of course we did the fun things like dyeing Easter eggs, having an egg hunt, enjoying the baskets that the Easter Bunny brought, and generally spending time together as a family, but, G and I also took some extra time to learn/watch more about the reason behind Easter. Every night, G and I have been reading small stories from the Little Boys Bible Storybook, and it really helped prep him for the story of Easter. He's been asking questions since then, so I'm excited to continue this journey with him.

Hunting for Easter eggs...
Aside from that amazing day, we also celebrated my #46 birthday! I worked all day on my birthday, but both kids were home from school, so I had the opportunity for constant hugs and celebratory wishes. :) They also had TKD that night, but we had planned that out, so dinner was on its way as we were heading home. Not a bad way to celebrate a Thursday birthday, during a busy week!
G made me a gift box out of Legos
And inside was a tree!
Ava made me a chocolate mug cake...yummy!
On Friday, both kids were also off of school, and I opted to take the day off with them. We all went to The Valley Diner for lunch (yum), and then G and I went to the movies and saw "Bad Guys". What a fun movie to watch with him! He's so much easier to bring to movies than he was even just a few years ago. I loved spending time with both kiddos during the day.
And then...Scott and I went out for a bit! We went to a local bar, got some apps, and a few drinks, played some pull tabs (I won us $8 - yay), and then we headed home to spend the evening together as a family. It's fantastic to be able to get away for a few hours, so we can spend some quality time together. It feels like that's been a long time coming - and we need to do it more often!
The party will just keep on going as my parents are having us over for dinner on Saturday night. There were will be wonderful food, and cake, of course! I'm really looking forward to spending that time with them, as well.
Ava's first week of track went well. One day it was too rainy out, so they had to cancel practice, but otherwise, it's worked out well for her to practice after school, and then catch the activity bus home. We're excited for her first meet in a few weeks.
And soon, it'll be May. The time where there are a million things scheduled, with school wrapping up, events to attend, and lots of friends to gather with (now that the really cold weather has passed.) The calendar is looking REALLY full for the next month+, so I know we'll enjoy any downtime that manages to sneak in!
