It all started on Thursday when Payton went to spend a couple days with my parents. He pretty much has free reign when he's with either set of grandparents. Mostly because he doesn't ask for outlandish requests. But when he picks up his Kindle first thing in the morning and asks Paca to make bacon and cinnamon rolls for him (this is before their trip to McDonald's later that morning), or a second (or third) glass of orange juice, or another game of Candy Land... the answer is always "Sure!"
He was treated to non-stop fun all weekend including...
A trip to their local Science Center:
(Which for this smart computer-lovin' kid, is like heaven!)
A exciting round of mini-golf at Congo River Golf, which also included an alligator feeding!
Making his own pizza...
And making Nana cookies...
And lots and lots of board games and Lego building...
They also had a wonderful night where they lit a fire in the fireplace and watched a movie together that Payton had been dying to see.
Payton is an incredibly fortunate child and he truly does appreciate these special weekends with both sets of his grandparents.
Of course, a little someone was VERY happy to have his "Bubba" back on Saturday.
I don't think he let him out of his sight for one minute.
I was also treated to some nice spoiling this weekend as well.
On Thursday morning, I had a wonderful breakfast date with two of the most handsome men in our community...
My sweet hubby treated me to my all-time favorite dinner...
Cedar plank salmon & asparagus on the grill:
I got lots of sweet one-on-one time with my little man while big brother was out of town.
I received such a special letter from my 93-year old grandmother.
I keep a stack of her letters in my keepsake box. I will treasure them forever.
I also had a wonderful phone call with her the same day. She is so very important to me.
Saturday night we hung out with our neighbors for a bit in their hot tub enjoying a clear night with lots of stars above our heads.
And then Sunday we had an awesome church service followed by a really fun St. Patrick's Day party in our community.

| Green beer... why not? |
A weekend full of memory-making moments for each one of us.
I hope you all had a great St. Patrick's Day and Spring Break too.
Now... on to Easter!
One of my most favorite and meaningful holidays of all year.
What fun plans do you have for Easter?
Any fun crafts? Special recipes? Travels to see family?
Whatever you have planned, I hope you are excited about it and looking forward to celebrating our risen Savior!
