Andy had more big ideas today. Specifically the idea to make a breakfast for dinner for Eva’s birthday. Eva’s birthday is in two days but Andy wanted to make her a special meal tonight. Andy and Allison made crepes, waffle iron hash browns and candied bacon with lemon zest. It was a challenge but they got it done.

Today was Easter Sunday and we got up and the kids had an egg hunt around the house. They got their easter candy and we all got ready for church. We went to Mass at Sacred Heart and Andy was having a tough time with allergies. So, we left our seats and sat in the foyer of the church. That was when Andy had a coughing fit they could exit and cough outside. I didn’t mind sitting back there with Andy. I had picked a bad seat to begin with. A family that goes to church twice a year was behind us. They really did not know how to act or be quiet in the least. I have a history of picking the worst seats. Eventually the church filled up and our vacated seats were filed.

After church we went over to The Purple Rooster for breakfast. My dad joined us along with mom and Tara, Shelby, Tim and the kids. We were only missing Erik because he had to get back to work. We had a very nice breakfast, exchanged gifts and it was very enjoyable. the kids even played together outside throwing a football around until Andy accidentally threw a wild ball onto the roof of the building. Game over. But before that I had these very tasty berry French toast.

We hung out a bit today and for dinner Allison made a nice meatloaf for my birthday meal. Then I got my cake which Allison and Andy made. It was a lemon cake with a ton of red white and blue sprinkles on it. There are photos but they were taken with Allison’s iPhone so they won’t upload here properly. It was very nice cake with two candles on it, a 4 and a 9. Can’t believe I’m 49.
