Friday we headed to Virginia for Spring Break. We actually drove to Columbus and then flew from there to save money. It worked out real well. Flying with a 2 year old is a bit of a challenge. He does not like to sit still for that long and doesn't have the attention span to watch a show for an hour. Now that he loves Elmo we were able to keep him entertained with a video for at least a little while.
Friday night we went to a favorite of my families for dinner...Paradiso. They have a kids room so all the bigger kids can eat in there and they even take the kids orders and watch them for us. After dinner we went to Holly's house for birthday cake and presents. Logan was thrilled to get to celebrate his birthday again. After the presents opening the Dads took the kids home and us girls made food for my sister inlaw's, Fanchon's, baby shower the next day.
Saturday we had a great shower for Fanchon. I think that after all the wedding and baby showers we have thrown, we have become pros. This was our best one yet. Since we only throw a shower for the first baby (after that we just do tea with my sisters and Mom to celebrate), we are now officially done throwing showers! I said we should do shots to celebrate!
Saturday evening we went to Grandma and Roberts to see Dennis' family and once again we Logan got to celebrate his birthday. The boys were introduced to Dennis' family's tradition of Egg Fights, the boys had a lot of fun and I'm sure they will want to keep that tradition up each year. And, hopefully Evan won't cry next year when he doesn't win (a bad habit of his).
Sunday we met up with our best friends from Richmond, Mandy and Stephen. We met at a park in Great Falls and the kids were thrilled to see each other again. It was fun to catch up with them, since we haven't seen each other since last summer.
Sunday evening my family came over to my Mom's for dinner (we had a ton of leftovers from the shower) and we played our favorite board game while the kids had a movie night. The boys were introduced to Star Wars and are now hooked! I continued to play another round of the board game, while Dennis went to visit with his friend Jeremy. The kids had a blast playing with their cousins. It always makes me a little sad that they don't get to hang out together more often.
