Jakob Daniel and Everleigh Grace Hall

Everleigh and I stayed home while Dan and Jakob went to visit the Halls in part because Jakob had Monday off and Everleigh didn't, and in part because we had already accepted an invitation to Everleigh's friend Cora's birthday party.  Some of her other friends from school were there, including Charlotte and Luna.  They had such a blast dancing together and eating an indoor picnic.  Everleigh really loved the body painting.

....to Hamilton to visit the Halls!  They had such a great time!

Thanks to super warm temps and sunny skies, as well as Dan and Jakob's plans to go to NY the next morning, the Easter Bunny decided to come Friday evening to hide eggs in our yard.  The kids had a blast running around looking for them, and almost as much fun opening them up inside.

This morning Jakob's teachers hosted a breakfast for students and their families.  While I was there, Jakob enjoyed some fresh fruit and a mini muffin.  Dan showed up when I was leaving, and apparently at some point after that Jakob also had a bagel with cream cheese.  It was so much fun!

Dan trimmed his beard up a couple of weeks ago.  He still has substantial facial cover, and I would say it's a much improved look for him.

This melts my heart (now we just need it to finish melting the 5 inches of snow we picked up on Saturday...)

What do you do when you get about three feet of snow in two days?   Make snow ice cream, of course!  So easy, and soooo yummy!  (8 cups of clean snow, 1 cup of milk, 1/3 cup sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla...stir)
