April is always such a busy month, with so many activities and celebrations. This past weekend we celebrated Easter with some family friends. I upped the Easter egg hunt game with some cash, and the kids were super motivated to find the eggs. At the end of the day, there are still 2 eggs out there, each with a one-dollar bill tucked in it!
Lily celebrated her birthday many times over with various friends. Sam, Susan, and Tina took her out to Mexican and mortified her with a birthday serenade. Her boyfriend Raymond took her out to IHOP. Last night we went out for Hibaci with Lily's good friend Carolina to celebrate along with her wonky Baskin and Robbins Chick Cake She received many thoughtful gifts including, a gift from Raymond's mom, a gas card from Tina, and other thoughtful gifts from friends and family.
We also received an update from Lily's birth family as well. It's always nice to hear how they are doing and see new photographs.
