Chad's Birthday- 33!

I love how excited the kids get about birthdays. So much thought and planning goes into each member of the family's birthday. They remember our birthday before we do on the morning of! They are so sweet and so cute.

A Cake Divided. The kids think Chad's favorite cake, German Chocolate, is just plain gross. It's not the cake that is so offensive, but the coconut pecan icing that turns them green. Therefore we must compromise!

Happy Birthday to the Birthday Boy!

Thanks to a congress held in 1923, the eastern churches adopted a modified Gregorian Calendar and decided to set the date of Easter according to the astronomical Full Moon for the meridian of Jerusalem.

Got that, Okay!

Thus, Easter this year will occur on April 24th.

That is very late as far as Easter is concerned. But you can't explain these things to my right brain which keeps me up late into the night concocting Easter Dress ideas.

This is what I've got so far:

I'll keep you posted on my progress.

My Broccoli

I grew that all by myself. I am also growing cabbage and lettuce and cilantro. I'm such a big girl.

I have a new calling at church. I am Enrichment Leader. Tonight is my first activity. It was already planned. The lady teaching it is not answering her phone. The topic is Winter Gardening. I am no expert, but I at least have a garden so I guess I'm plan B!

NYC - All the Pretty Lights!

It has been on of my dreams to visit New York at Christmas time. Chad surprised me this year for our anniversary by making this dream a reality.
