Happy Birthday Easter

Craig's birthday fell on Easter this year.  To celebrate him, we moved his very informal celebration to the Saturday before.  The kids have very clear ideas of what should happen on a birthday -- cake, candles, presents, and always balloons.  So, that is what we had.  Oh, and the kids hid Easter eggs for him to find with his favorite candies inside.

In March I took a kid-free trip!  I love my boys so very much, but it was a treat to be away for a few days.  I visited friends in Virginia, and, thanks to Susan's father-in-law, we had complete kid-free time for 2 1/2 days.  Both gals pictured are long-time friends made in Korea.
