Today we celebrated Mother’s Day in style, as we always do. It was a nice, relaxing day. Susan met her mother and sister at Panera and then she was home for some planting, napping, and eating. The kids made some great cards this year and we made a chocolate treat from a chocolate cookbook that we have.
We had a nice, relaxing Easter this year. The Reagens were out of town and we attended Easter Vigil Mass last night, so most of our day was spent enjoying time outdoors.
Even with the late night last night the kids were up early this morning, ready to look for their Easter baskets. It took a minute, but they all found them. After that we looked for Easter eggs in the back yard before getting out for a walk and just enjoying the nice weather.
In the afternoon we were headed out for a bike ride and Rick and Donna, our neighbors, just happened to be getting ready for a ride at the same time. We invited them to ride along with us.
For dinner Mimi and Papa came over and we had the traditional fare, followed by a terrific chocolate cake.
Tonight after Neighborhood Sports Susan prepared a nice, candlelit dinner for us! It was a celebration of Candlemas, which we try to honor each year. It is always a neat experience and I noticed that this evening the kids participated in our prayer (requested by Lucia, as always) more than ever.
Last night we went to the Reagens’ for the Super Bowl. This year the Sullivans joined us for some fun and good food. This year’s highlights included a good game, the Katy Perry halftime show, and the halftime Doritos were a hit, as usual.
It isn’t looking like it is going to be a White Christmas, but the kids at least got to play with a little bit of snow this morning!
