We had a great spring break visit from auntie Sethrina, cousin Calvin, and Lego Grandpa. We enjoyed many of the usual shenanigans including a trip to the zoo, story time at the Balloon Museum, a park picnic, a hike along the crest followed by burgers and fries, swimming in our backyard baby pool, going on runs together, late night games and chit chat, cousin baths, and lots of good eating (ice cream with homemade fudge sauce being the most memorable for me! Mmm, mmm good!)
On St. Paddy's day, we awoke to green footprints all over the house, gold in the kids' shoes, and rainbow pancakes. We had the missionaries over that evening for our annual "green dinner." This year it included Aztec enchiladas, green jello, green Hawaiian dip, and rainbow sherbet.
Some of our favorite memories from this trip have to include all of the baby bonding. Hannah and Calvin played so well together - getting each other drinks from the fridge, jumping in Hannah's crib, and giving each other lots of loves. Calvin also liked feeling like he was one of the big boys and loved sitting with them at the big table instead of his travel high chair. He is the cutest thing! Seb tried with all his might to get an unsolicited hug, but I am pretty sure he failed!
Sethrina polled the boys on what their future wives were going to be like and Hudson said his was going to be an "indoor girl." Sethrina also put together a circuit training workout that everyone did while I was napping. Oh, and she cut ALL the boys hair!!! And they all look so handsome - Hudson thinks he looks like one of the singers from Pentatonix - he's pretty jazzed about that. Ha ha! Sethrina is such a fun aunt! Hannah's been saying "where Auntie go?" almost every day since her departure. We're going to have to get together soon! Too bad we don't live closer!!
