I only have a couple of minutes before we leave for the airport for part 2 of our forever long spring break, but just wanted to report that the first half was a success. We had a blast with our friends and got some much needed fun and I think our guests had a great time too.
When they arrived there was still snow on the ground so the kids, who had never really even been in snow, got to make snowmen. It was even the first real snowmen for Sarah and Amanda who instead of packing the snow together like last time actually got to roll the balls through the yard to make a proper snowman. It was so neat to see them experience something I did as a kid for the first time.
The next few days were filled with shopping and eating and skiing (by only one family) as well as a hockey game and tubing. We also had a fantastic Easter with a visit from the bunny in the form of overflowing baskets, a big yummy breakfast, an egg hunt and cascarones (hollow eggs stuffed with confetti that you crack over each other's heads). Unfortunately I rolled my ankle while dashing up the patio to smash Lizette over the head and prematurely ended my fun for the day, but it was still so, so much fun and our friends had never done it so that made it even better.
I was so sad to see everybody go yesterday as this is the most fun I've had since April from New Jersey was here over New Year's, but the cleaning lady came yesterday and that helped the sting go away since the house is back to normal. Of course leaving today for a sun-filled four day vacation also helps.
Just makes me look even more forward to summer when we get to see even more friends and family.
