Lately: More Celebrations

Backtracking a couple of weeks, we all celebrated Will's Name That Book team with a party at Judson Park. It was the perfect day -- sunny but not too hot. The park wasn't crowded and the kids just ran and played and ate and had fun.





The parents gave me tulips and a gift card to Barnes and Noble as a thank you for helping coach the team. Will got so used to me reading the same books that he read that he keeps bringing me books to read (Fablehaven is on my nightstand now!).  


Will is always reading! He picked up the Five Little Pepper series that I read as a kid.


Henry had a final birthday celebration when Katy and Jaime came over for dinner one night. They brought homemade vanilla ice cream decorated just for the birthday boy!


And a few last presents from Heather arrived in the mail. Henry got a new puzzle and two ninja Cubebots! Thumbs up all the way around.


Nana and Pop delivered Portuguese sweet bread just before Easter. Delicious!

 

We spent Easter weekend surrounded by friends and family and board games!


Easter morning: we woke the boys up before dawn to get ready for early Mass. They were tired but we avoided the crowds! And they were excited to see what the Easter bunny brought them (CDs, books, chocolate and new games).


We spent most of Easter day with Nana and Pop. It was rainy and dreary, so the Easter egg hunt was inside this year.




The boys worked together to find eggs and then carefully counted them up and divided them equally.



Our spring celebrations have been a lot of fun!
