Zoe's birthday and Easter weekend.

We had an amazing Easter weekend with my family in Ohio. We missed Darci, Jess and Sierra greatly, but the weather was perfect and we made the most of it!
It started Thursday night with Zoe's 5th birthday party. Turns out this was the best Zoe would feel all weekend as she came down with the flu. Grandma was lucky enough to be up with her most of the night Thursday :/ Zoe and Deacon are obsessed with Frozen, she we had a frozen cake, enjoyed pizza and opened presents. Zoe received many cute clothes!

Zoe being sick was such a bummer, but she got some great cuddle time:)

Friday, Deidra and Isaiah came to school with me in the morning to get some observation hours. Friday afternoon we enjoyed an amazing bike ride on a local trail. Tony stayed home with Zoe as she was not up for much activity. Unfortunately, I was too busy biking and talking to get any pictures. The day was completed with a fire.

Saturday was a day full of sunshine and projects. The first was taking down a 45 ft tower that was on Scott and Christina's house but not used. It was quite the process, and a little scary it times, but the job got done.

Next was building a sand box. Scott and Christina's Christmas present to Deacon this year was a sandbox, so it was the perfect day to make it happen.  Everyone got in on the action. Deacon and Zoe LOVE the sand and Deacon actually cried when we left Sunday because he wanted to keep playing.

Saturday night ended with a wonderful meal at our favorite Mexican restaurant and another bon fire.
Sunday morning was breakfast at church and then an amazing Easter service. The rest of the day - literally the next 8 hours were spent outside at Scott and Christina's house with many friends from church. It was a gorgeous afternoon. Zoe even went for a short bike ride with Papa.

The weekend could not have been better and I wish we could just keep repeating it. Thanks Mom, Dad, Deidra and Isaiah for making the drive. And thanks to Scott and Tina for hosting us all for most of the weekend:)
