A Birthday, a Visit, and Easter

This year Ralph and Jan went to Florida for their regular winter trip a little early, just in case the babies decided to show up early, which meant that they came back a little early.  On their way home they stopped by and it happened to be the day after Jan's 60th birthday!  We did not do anything big, but had a little cake.  The boys really enjoy cake!

Later in the week we had a couple of visits.  First we had Amy, Lexi, and Gracie (Nick's cousins wife and girls) stop by and then Jesi, Brett, and Brighton stayed the night on their way out east for spring break.

Lexi and Gracie are one and a half and six months old, so they were very fun to have over.  Gracie is not quite mobile yet, but Lexi is and she showed us some things we need to take care of before the babies are mobile.  Both girls were so cute and good though.  Gracie smiled the whole time and Lexi listened so well to Amy, I was very impressed!  They will be moving later this year and we will miss seeing them.

Brighton is almost 9 months old and he also showed us a few things we need to do pretty soon.  He was also super happy and such a good boy. :)  It was a quick trip, but I am so glad we go to see them!

We also celebrated Easter quietly this year.  Vince and I were both sick, so we stayed home and did not do much.  The Easter Bunny did come to our house and the boys got to do an Easter egg hunt.  Earlier in the week we dyed eggs, which is always a good time.

 Happy 60th Birthday!
