This was one of those rare weekends where we didn't have a million different things to do. Elizabeth had soccer practice on Friday night, and after that we went out to dinner with our dear friends Tom and Charlotte to celebrate Charlotte's birthday. Cake at our house afterwords with more of Charlotte's friends felt like real life, full of friends and laughter and community. It felt good! Saturday and Sunday were free, and we had fun. Hobby Lobby on Saturday morning to pick out invitations, decorations, and party favors for Elizabeth's "Garden Girl" party at chick-fil-A! Very exciting. Then a trip to the Easter party at the Secret Garden children's shop -- a lovely afternoon excursion for Elizabeth and me. There was face painting and a cookie walk, door prizes (I won a big one) and a photo session with the Easter Bunny. Very sweet!! Then onto The Chocolate Festival -- picked up Dadday and baby and Aunt Britt and headed to RBC to fight the crowds. And crowded it was. But The girls got to ride a few rides and had fun. We topped it all off with dinner on the patio at Villa Fiesta. A really fun Weekend. Sunday was SS at Rainbow and church at GVC -- the perfect combination. And yummy spaghetti to boot!! Thank you, Lord, for beautiful weather and precious children and family to enjoy it with!! And Oh....we can't forget to mention a big problem that Elizabeth has been having....she doesn't want to go to sleep because every time she closes her eyes she sees a monkey beating up a little girl!! Prayers appreciated. :)
