Sightseeing in DC

We had a wonderful trip to DC this past weekend and it started early Friday morning with a day in Washington DC seeing historical landmarks. Ethan had trouble accepting that we couldn't go into the White House and say hi to the president, but overall there was excitement about what we saw! Later that evening we drove to Wheaton and visited Grandma and Grandpap at their house and showed Ethan and Jillian where Mia grew up too. Then we spent a great evening with Janice, George and their daughter Val. She won J over quickly by painting her nails. It was a huge Friday!

The Best Easter Party Ever

This Easter we had a blast hosting family at our house! A couple of days before we dyed eggs for everyone and then we had an Easter egg hunt, taught the kids to play Bocce, played some hockey, and facetimed with the Giratas! We had a wonderful dinner thanks to everyone and a pretty dessert you can see I made below. As the kids sing from Mickey Mouse: "It's gonna be the best Easter party ever, the best part is we'll be together! And we'll be friends forever, it's spring time. A sing a ling a ding time. fa la la la la la la la la!"
