We're on Spring Break!

(Thrown together Easter Bakets!)

We are on our first day of spring break! Husband has to work and alarm didn't go off this morning! I just happened to turn over and open my eyes and realized it was too light for it to not even be 6:30. Well, it was 7:00! I jumped up and husband made it out the door and on his way in 15 minutes!

We made our trip to Charlotte on Saturday for the 1st Communion festivities! We were able to spend a little time with my sister and her family at their home on Lake Norman. Enjoyed grilling and eating out on the deck, they don't have quite as much pollen as we do.

We dressed and left for the Easter Vigil Mass, where unbeknownst to me, nephew was also being baptised in addition to making his 1st communion! The service didn't get over until 10:40! Son kept telling me that his grandmother was delirious, she was so tired! I think it was just the fact that she had to sit beside him and he would make a funny remark to her and she would start laughing. We made it back to my sister's at 11:30 and headed to bed.

The next morning we had a leisurely breakfast and when sister and her family got home from church the kids played together for awhile and then it was time for us to head over to SIL's house where that side of the family was gathering for Easter/1st communion/birthday lunch. I still can't believe my husband comes from the same family... they live sooooo differently than we do. Even husband made the same comment after we left. We made it home by 6:00 and the Easter Bunny hurriedly threw some baskets together and left them on the dining room table! Apparently he forgot the big bows on the baskets, but the teens didn't seem to mind!

Since husband is working this week and it ended up being a week for dermatologist appointments and eye appointments along with dance rehearsals, we are just planning to stick around the lowcountry!
