Family Day Off

The kids had the Monday after Easter off and since Steve has some time off we were all able to spend it together. We first went to the church book store to exchange Matthew & Rachel's scripture cases that Grandma & Grandpa Spendlove got for them. They liked the one's they were given, but think the thought of being able to pick their own was more appealing. So they both picked out the exact same case they were given but just in a different color. Steve and I both that was funny.
Then we were off to see Monsters vs. Aliens 3D. We were given a gift certificate for Christmas and finally decided to use it today. I have to say that I wouldn't give this movie a very exciting rating because it wasn't very exciting. Watching it in 3D however made it more fun. You gotta love the glasses.


Next on our agenda was a visit to the nicest restaurant our kids have probably ever been too. Steve received a gift certificate to the Taste of Texas for a project he worked on at bp. So this was the day to use it. We gave the kids a big pep talk before we went inside all about using their best manners. I don't know if it was the pep talk or just the atmosphere of the restaurant, but they were wonderful. We even had a another guest come to our table and compliment the children on how well behaved they were. Wow, that never happens. So definitely blog worthy!!!

We had a great day together and a great Easter weekend.

I love taking pictures of my family holding hands.
