Celebrating the April birthdays

One thing that is common in my family is birthdays - it seems like everyone in the family (minus a rare few) are born in April or June. My mom, brother, dad, Ashley, Michelle, me, Addison, McKenna, Elijah, and my grandma are all born in April or June. It was getting crazy for schedules to celebrate all of them differently, so we opted to celebrate my mom, brother, and dad all in one evening. We went to the Millworks in Harrisburg (YUMMM!) and loaded up on apps, drinks, yummy food and amazing desserts (pictured below is beet cake, which is AMAZING and tastes like carrot cake. Carter was none the wiser either!) 
 Happy birthday.....everyone!

Easter 2018

We had a fun but easy Easter season. Since we were going to be in NJ for Easter, we went for hibachi and ice cream with Gramma and Pa the week before. They got their Easter baskets in the car of the restaurant which was super exciting for a 5 and 7 year old!
We were at Oma and Opa's for Easter this year. On Saturday, we went to Ben and Salli's for breakfast and a fun Easter egg hunt with cousins. This is one crazy bunch! 
We did Carter and Addison's Easter baskets back at Oma and Opa's house. LOTS of excitement followed. 
We went to Oma and Opa's church on Easter Sunday and then came home for some pictures before heading to Mary Kate and Matt's for Easter lunch/dinner. 
The kids really enjoyed playing with Matt's legos at their house, and digging into all the good food. PLUS, they had Catan so Carter was in his glory playing that, too! We had a great weekend celebrating Jesus' resurrection!
