April was filled with celebration. It was Tim's 33rd birthday on the very same day we arrived back from Universal Studios. We went with a store-bought cake that was delicious and had a lovely evening of cake, presents and pizza. Timothy was more than happy to rest and skip any other party activities.
Elijah turned 21 in April. We had a small donut and gift celebration at home. Elijah doesn't like cake as much as some other desserts. He was really delighted with his gifts and thanked us over and over again. We then took him to a fun cafe that has more than 700 games to play, plus nice light food such as sandwiches and pastries. Some of his friends came and they had a great time playing games. Rebekah, David and I played giant Uno and Worst Case Scenario at a different table.
My mother also celebrated her 75th birthday this month. She decided to have the same cake as Tim, because she had enjoyed it so much. We also took Grandma to the Harlem Globetrotters. She enjoyed it, and because our arena is pretty small, we got great seats. It was a very lively show. Easter was a calm and peaceful day. We kept it slow and had a nice ham dinner.
My Father-in-Law passed away last September, but his internment at his home church did not happen until April. We all traveled home to lay him to rest in his final resting place. It was nice to see all of my husband's side of the family and visit the church where we were married almost 25 years ago.
Blessings, Dawn
