Happy Monday, friends!
I have some weekend happenings for you today all around…Andrew’s birthday!
On Saturday, our main man turned 41 and…because he’s Andrew and always has a way of making everything perfect…not only was his birthday on a Saturday (I swear, mine is always on a Monday) but the weather was GORGEOUS and our sports schedule was super limited. We had the whole weekend open to celebrate as a family, and we soaked up every minute.
Here’s a few pics…
We kicked off birthday weekend with a big family dinner on my mom and dad’s patio. The food was delicious and the family time so special.
On Saturday, Andrew’s actual birthday, he planted the veggie garden with the little girls. They both just finished plant units at school and were so excited to put their new knowledge to help with daddy. After they planted the veggie garden, they planted our spring flowers too.
After that…
…we cheered on our favorite soccer player!
After soccer, we cleaned up and headed out to…
…downtown McKinney for birthday dinner fun!
I thought it was the best day celebrating Andrew turning 41!
Bonus for you today, I know how much you love a gift guide, so I made FOUR for your EASTER BASKETS ideas. I did separate these guides by gender and age, but of course, you can shop off of any of them (it’s just easier for my brain to compartmentalize four boards over one giant board). I hope this makes the bunny’s job much easier at your house when she’s assembling those baskets 🙂 .
