Birthday Girls

It's been a busy month so far of Happy April Birthdays! Kelsie (9th) Abby (11th) Brenda (13th) and soon, Ashlee (24th). Favorite dinners of Pioneer Woman tacos, grilled hamburgers, chicken enchilada casserole and times of playing spud and speed outside. Handmade cards and time together. Also a surprise breakfast for Abby & Dallen across the street with the neighborhood kids (they share a birthday).

For my Bday, they asked, "Anything you want to do?" And I thought of lazer tag, a bike ride... but then it came to me. "Anything?" I asked. So they all came over and we wiped down and cleared out the family & living rooms and closets. The help was thrilling to me as I have felt a bit overwhelmed lately. It really was the best gift they could have given me... afterwards we played games and had homemade chocolate malts. And yes, the boxes and items that I still don't know what to do with are back in our bedroom, waiting for me to go through them for the final time... soon!
