We are approaching the end of Spring Break and it is back to work for me on Monday. I am so sad, but definitely enjoyed my week's vacation. We had a ton of things happening. Jason and I celebrated our 4th wedding anniversary and Jason's 30th birthday on April 2nd. We celebrated with our good friends, Aaron and Andrea on Wednesday, April 8th by watching STOMP at the Saengar Theatre. I had never seen the show before, but if you haven't seen it, it was FABULOUS! The entertainers capture your attention from the moment they walk onstage until the moment the encore is over, all without saying a word! I started Spring Break early by taking off Friday, April 3rd. Audrey and I got dressed and took Kennedy to see the Easter Bunny at Cordova Mall. We then had the Gardner birthday celebration at Horizen that night since Jason and his dad like to combine their birthday dinners. I had told Jason that the Easter Bunny wasn't available and that we didn't get to have Kennedy's picture taken. BOY, was I convincing. So when Jason opened his present from Kennedy (a picture of her with the Easter Bunny) he was so excited and even had a tear in his eye! What a sap! He said it was the best surprise ever! Martin, Maria, Maddie, Mia and baby Teague (my cousins from England) arrived in Milton for a visit on Monday, April 6th. They were exhausted as they didn't arrive until late, so Tuesday was a restful day for all of us and a fabulous day for them to meet Kennedy. They met Kennedy once before, but I was only 4 months pregnant when I saw them in England last summer. So, they actually got to see her in person this time! Needless to say, the day was special. On Wednesday, we all decided to go to the ZOO! The zoo was extremely special as it had been SEVERAL years since Jason or I had been, and no one else (including Audrey) had ever been to the zoo when they visited us before. We had a fabulous time and were able to take a ton of pictures (thanks Audrey, as we forgot our camera at the house)! On Thursday, we enjoyed a full day of shopping over in SanDestin and bought Kennedy a ton of things from Carter. Friday, we planned on going to the beach, but the weather wasn't that great. Instead, we had a small Easter Egg hunt at my mom's house and then we went off to the park. We had such a blast! Friday night, we all met at La Hacienda for a going away party/birthday party for Maddie & Mia. The sad news is that they left on Saturday morning. We always say no tears, but I was sad and shed a few anyway. On Saturday we traveled out to the Strawberry farm in Baker for some shortcake. We made sure Kennedy put on her strawberry dress and sun-hat. We then made sure on Sunday morning, we were up for early mass and then Jason took a few pictures of Kennedy in her Easter dress, right before she was sick all down it.
So here are a few pictures to document what a busy week we had.

Kennedy on Friday, April 3rd, before going to see the Easter Bunny. We were playing dress-up with her hair-bands, and this one looked more like a workout headband.
Kennedy is definitely growing and full of smiles! I hope you all enjoy and thanks so much who shared this fabulous week with us!
Have a happy Easter!
Jason, Jen and Kennedy.
