Easter in Lansing - Part 2

Weekends at home are meant to spend time doing the simple things...


like blowing bubbles for your son and your nephew

like listening to your nephew tell sword bubble stories

and cheering on your home state...not school :( in the NCAA tournament!

We could not have had a more relaxing night in with the Lehman family in Lansing! We loved every minute from blowing bubbles, to eating Carol's perfectly cooked tenderloin, to cheering on the Jayhawks!

The following morning, Carol and I headed out to Topeka to meet Ashley at her bridal shower. 

Ashley had her bridal shower at this beautiful location by the lake in Topeka.  I loved being by the water and I was a little surprised by the warm weather. It was the perfect day!

Ashley and her family/friends did an excellent job of decorating for the shower.  They had lovely white and lavender daisies in very hip arrangements.  I can't wait to see what the wedding looks like!

Ashley was so happy the entire time! Oh to be young and in love :)

She passed the "how well do you know the groom quiz" with flying colors and got 8 out of 11 questions right! She didn't even miss enough for me to get a decent bubble gum photo :(  Carol and I joked on the ride home, that there were some questions on the quiz that each of us did not even know about Max and Mike :)

Carol and I did win the "make the wedding dress out of toilet paper game"! Never mind that Adrian got to pick the winner. Our dress and our model were definitely the best!

I just love this child,

and this one too!

We ended the perfect weekend, with a relaxing night in Lansing with Mike and Carol.  We got to chat over a steak dinner, soak in the joy of watching our parents blow bubbles for our child, and we embraced the unconditional love that only a weekend with your family can give you. 

Can't wait to be back at home to celebrate Brad and Ashley's wedding next month!
