Aunts

My kids have some pretty awesome aunts. They engage in conversations with them, play games, attend birthdays and sacraments and do a fantastic job at letting all four of kids know that they are special to them.

One aunt started a tradition of having the kids over for a sleepover as their birthday present. I joked with her today that if she ever ends the tradition, she’s going to have some very disappointed nieces and nephews!

Shecklet #2 spent the night last night (for his 11th bday present) and came home with a collection of perler bead creations. Pretty cool ones, in my opinion!

Reconciliation ice cream

We were challenged by the March Family Formation speaker to receive the sacrament of reconciliation before the April FF session. If we did, we could email the Family Formation director and she would enter our names into a drawing for a small prize. Shecklet #3 and I were able to enter our names into the drawing and #3 won! She received a gift certificate to a local ice cream shop and a pretty bracelet.

She and I went to get a sweet treat this evening.
