Atkinson Family Life: Spring Celebrations!

It’s been a BUSY spring! I’m finally getting around to posting a recap, just in time… since it’s almost summer!!

After returning home from Spring Break in Florida we celebrated Asher’s birthday as a family, then we celebrated Mother’s Day (back-to-back) and then we celebrated Asher’s party with friends last weekend. Here’s a recap of all our fun!

Asher turned four on May 11. To celebrate the big FOUR we had cinnamon rolls for breakfast, opened presents (So fun that it was a Saturday and Chris could be home with us). Next up, we went to the Children’s Museum – Asher requested Connor Prairie, but it was an unseasonably cool/cold Spring Day and we opted for an indoor activity. After the museum we went to Target for Icee drinks per his request. Finally we had dinner – hot dogs and Mac and Cheese and Nana’s special Chocolate Cake! It was a fun day of celebrating our sweet Asher Joe!

Having fun with the presents he opened on his birthday – a cash register from aunties and uncles and “Bucky” Jake’s pirate ship from Nana and Papa. Both presents were BIG hits!

The next morning it was my turn to be celebrated!! Woo Hoo for Mother’s Day! Breakfast in bed and a new bracelet started the day! Off to church and then lunch at Abuelo’s. We decided it was a restaurant we’d rather eat at sans-kids. :) A relaxing afternoon (for me) and then yummy fettuccine alfredo prepared by my sweet hubby all made for a really great day!

Finally we celebrated Asher’s birthday this past weekend with our “family” here in Indy – friends from small group - and our family in Ohio - Grandma and Grandpa Atkinson, Auntie Liz and Uncle Joel and Coralaine and Adelaide. Asher requested the theme of Jake and the Neverland Pirates. It was a really fun day!

It rained that morning, and called for a wash-out, but we totally lucked out with overcast skies, but NO rain… the sun even peeked through a few times!!
