Easter has been a fun time of relaxing. Thursday night before Easter we bought some games, a tabletop strategy game called HeroScape and Knex I also bought an extreme frisbee.

Friday I had to work, but after I finished we played games until all hours! Saturday I also had to work with one of my staff here at home. He brought his wife and son over and the kids and ladies played, made clay models and talked while we worked. we took a park break and had some fun also. After work I took our kids down to the soccer fields with some friends of ours and we played extreme frisbee and kicked the football until it got dark and then played glow int he dark frisbee! Awesome.

Sunday we slept in and while Jude took most of the kids to Grandmas, Miranda and Is tayed home and played HeroScape until lunchtime. After lunch we headed to a friends place for some
fellowhip, afternoon tea and an awesome time chatting about all manner of things. This was followed by a great time of prayer and then we came home (via a great Indian restaurant). Jude and I kicked back with a movie before bed.

Today we are doing more of the same. Building Knex constructions and just hanging out as a family. Its great!

Mercedes 3rd Party was lots of fun. She was old enough to know what was happening, and present were spread out over the day with some in the morning and some in the afternoon and evening.
Grandma and Grace came to enjoy dinner and cake

Mercedes was very grown up when it came time to blow the candles out and cut the cake.

Jadeen's 8th Birthday was a great success. Its always fun separating Christmas from Boxing day birthdays but the presents received were just what Jadeen wanted. She had her ears pierced before Christmas for her birthday, and just had cubic zirconia studs inserted. On her birthday she was presented with some 9ct gold dolphin studs.
See come great photos in the gallery.

Erin's 5th birthday was celebrated in style. Erin enjoyed her presents, particularly a very large doll received from Grandma, that Erin promptly spend several minutes dancing with, both ballerina style and then a tango. This was very amusing to the rest of the family.
Some photos of the presents, the dancing and the cake in the gallery.
