(How cute are these nieces and nephews? Honest? Shut up!)
Spring is famous for spring break and spring cleaning. I have done neither. I have done lots of spring working, spring schooling, and spring wedding planning. There hasn't been a break yet and it looks like things might just stay this way till Fiance and I head on that plane July 22nd to Cabo! But, this past weekend we did have a nice break. Tanner's brother, sister in law and their 3 sweet kids live about 45 minutes away from us so we are lucky enough to get to hang with them often. This past weekend, their youngest baby, 2 month old Knox was blessed in church on Easter Sunday.. so all of the family came down! On Friday, Tan and I made our way down to LA. That night we went out with Jono, Anneli and Cheetah (Bro, sis and Mom) to a great Mexican place called Salsa and Beer. (Hole in the wall, best salsa and bean dip and cream chicken enchiladas ever) We spent all day Saturday lounging around, eating Capriotti's sandwiches, playing with all of the kids in the bounce house, celebrated Elliana's 3rd birthday, held baby Knox, chatted and laughed, played games (which I beat Tan a few times, just sayin), watched Tan and the boys play basketball (for hours), stayed up super late and laughed and chatted even more. Sunday morning we all went to church and had a great Easter service, and Elliana even played a little Coldplay on my iphone for the whole congregation to hear, smack dab in the middle of Knox's blessing. (Hopefully that won't be a sign that Knox's life will be all yellow) We had a big waffle bar after and just hung out.
Sunday on our drive home I said to Tan "that felt like a mini vacation". It was so nice, right smack dab in the middle of all the Spring craziness, to spend a weekend with the Nielsen clan. I feel so lucky to be marrying into such a fun family!!
