Saturday was Kristen's birthday. My parents were in Aruba, and in this family we take birthdays seriously...so I decided to get some of her friends together for a little get together as a surprise. But before that, we got to spend almost all day together. It did my heart good to spend some GOOD quality time with my sister. We hadn't done that for a LONG time. We were able to eat lunch together and shop a little at the mall. She was supposed to then meet me at my house "to go out to dinner", but instead her friends came to my house and we had a little party for her.
I think the most special moment of the weekend was on Easter Sunday, when my baby girl told me the meaning of Easter and explained every event from the time Jesus rode in on a donkey through the Resurrection. It was the most sweetest, innocent explanation I've ever heard. On Easter morning, Nic received a message that his father was in the hospital because of passing out the night before. I knew we couldn't take the kids to the hospital, so he went while I took the kids to church. I can't tell you how much I enjoyed hearing Pastor Blodgett preach again....such truth. We then had lunch at my parents' and the kids received Easter baskets and hunted Easter eggs. They enjoyed it immensely.
My heart has been overflowing all weekend.

Wait, you're telling me about nice spring weather and then showing me pictures of your kids in hats and gloves. This Texan is confused!
