Spring Break - Cancun

We had such a nice time on Spring Break 2018 in Cancun.  Daddy, Mommy, Grayson, Liam and Oma stayed at the Ritz Carlton in Cancun.  We went Thursday, April 5 - Thursday, April 12th.  The first day we were sitting on our balcony and all of a sudden I heard someone yell my name.  I thought I was hearing things and then realized it was our neighbor.  What a small world!!  Our neighbors who live across the alley and 4 houses away were at the same hotel.  They have 3 kids ranging in age from 3-8 and the boys love them.  

The first night we had dinner at the hotel.  The second night we had a nice dinner at Harry's (and another night when we had a babysitter).  We also Italian food at Cencola, Mexican food at Porfirio's  (with our neighbors) and had seafood at Crab House (Daddy got a limo to take us to the restaurant and the boys thought it was so cool).  The food was great and very conveniently located.  

We spent most days at the pool throwing balls to each other and hanging out.  We met several other couples from Chicago that lived within a mile from us.  We spent one day at the beach jumping in the waves and making sand castles.  The boys found a lizard running around by the pool and Daddy helped catch him.  Grayson spent hours holding him and taking care of him.  He told us he was it's mommy.  I'm not sure exactly what happened, but the poor lizard was either dead or playing dead to escape.  We are hoping it was the latter and told Grayson that was most likely what happened.  He was really upset, but later felt better after we told him they play dead as a survival technique.  

Overall we had a great time on our family vacation in Cancun.  It's always so nice to spend time together and we love making new memories.

Easter ~ 2018

Easter ~

The boys had fun decorating Easter eggs.  They helped me boil the eggs, decorate them and add Star Wars stickers.  We had a slight spill that got all over the pillows, but at least it was easy to clean.  They loved decorating the eggs so that is all that matters.

The Easter bunny visited our house and left a lot of great presents for the boys.  Mommy and Daddy also got the boys a few things... a basketball, baseball glove, bubbles, Star Wars t-shirt, Cars t-shirt, slinkies, bunny ears and cars that go in the bathtub.  They did an Easter egg hunt and then ate a ton of candy.  The Easter bunny brought them candy, Star Wars dog chains, Star Wars key chains that makes noises, activity books, pool toys, Star Wars walkie talkies and lots of hot wheels cars.  

We had brunch at our favorite place in the neighborhood, Stella Barra.  Ethan and his roommate Amaar came to brunch with us.  The boys are obsessed with Ethan and they both love spending time with him so it was cute to see them together.
