Currently (2019): Today was Andrew and Christina’s anniversary. She has always wanted to watch a hibachi chef in a Japanese restaurant, so today was the day. I spent quality time with Gavin and Amelia and Andrew took Christina out. She enjoyed it thoroughly and got completely stuffed.
Gavin and I watched Wreck-It Ralph. I loved it! It’s such a cute movie. If you have never seen it, I HIGHLY recommend it. https://amzn.to/2G5Du3Y
While we watched the movie, Amelia played with her Peppa Pig house. https://amzn.to/2Gb9rYJ
Afterwards, we played Candyland on the front porch. https://amzn.to/2DblZ1h
Gavin won three out of four times. He would have played for hours if his parents hadn’t shown up.
Even to this day, Andrew is the same way. He loves playing games and never wants the fun to end. I can appreciate that.
After dinner, Kevin and I went for a walk. I’ll post a few pictures below of the trees. They are stunning in the spring.

*Harry Potter and The Chamber of Secrets (DVD) – We saw this movie in the theatre back in November, I think. It was wonderful as was the book. https://amzn.to/2G4BiJW
