Bonus Easter Weekend 2017
On Friday, 4/7/17, Garrison had Kindergarten Roundup at Cottonwood Point Elementary. He is now officially enrolled for school starting in August 2017, and he is so proud. Amanda and Garrison stayed at school and had lunch with his sister, Peyton, in the school cafeteria - and he loved it. In the afternoon, they went to Deanna Rose Farmstead with Angie and Ethan Heckman - what a beautiful day for an outdoor outing.
Following Peyton's dance class on Saturday morning, Amanda and the kids headed to Clinton for a bonus Easter weekend - and it was wonderful. The Easter Bunny had stopped by earlier and had hidden some plastic Easter eggs all over our house. The kids laughed and ran all over the house looking for the tiny treasures, and then they had fun opening all of them.
It was so nice out, the kids dyed their hard boiled eggs outside, and then we had fun hiding and finding them - several times.
We all went to mass at Holy Rosary - Peyton is having her 1st Communion on May 7, and she wanted to go to a Catholic service. Next stop was dinner at Square 109 - prime rib, tenderloin dinner, spaghetti and meatballs and pancakes/bacon - what an array. Dessert was at home following the kids showers - cookies and cream ice cream sundaes.
I enjoyed visiting with Amanda until 10 p.m. - Grandpa and the kids went to bed early - and then it was to bed for me while Amanda had a work phone meeting.
We had a lovely, lazy Sunday morning, including a trip to The Donut Palace for yummy sweet treats, making strawberry kabobs of our lunch dessert, Garrison giving his mommy a "doctor" exam, games, frosting/decorating Easter cookies, and then lunch with requested BBQ meatballs and rice.
Peyton and Garrison took some cookies to Miss Esther and came home with chocolate bunnies!!!! They were thrilled. Before they went home, Peyton Garrison and I took Miss Esther's dog, Sippy, to potty since she was gone for the afternoon. They had a great time with that chore.
We had an awesome 24 hours together - we are blessed!!!!!!
