We traveled home Saturday afternoon this year. We weren't able to visit the Duke gardens or get all three girls in their dresses. We were more focused on getting everyone in their own beds, especially Adeline. After a long car ride, we arrived at 9:30 p.m. and were thrilled to be out of the car. The girls were very good but after being the same space for 8 hours, even the best behavior becomes annoying.
Sunday morning rolled around and we came down stairs to look the blossoms that emerged while were away. In doing so, we found a few more treats from the Easter Bunny. He left the little girls bikes (Adeline's was a giraffe stationary bike) and Savannah a beanbag. They were thrilled to see that the Easter Bunny made a double visit this year.
After getting everyone dressed, we made it to church. There wasn't a sunday school for the girls so they got to sit with us in a packed service. They were pretty good but I was ready to leave by the end of it.
We raced home because I had a special date with Lila. We are trying to have find special one on one time with the girls and Lila's time was a trip to see an Ernie/Elmo show live. We had a great time. She was all smiles and waves for her Ernie. She blew him plenty of kisses too. Her only complaint was that he didn't come up to her seat so that she could give him a hug. She seemed to get over that fact quickly and sat like such a big girl and enjoyed the show. It was a treat to spend time with Miss Grace. She is really growing into a kind and sweet girl!
