Let Spring Break Begin!

Spring Break is here! Cade arrived last Friday night and we've already had some fun. Grandma and Grandpa Smalberger came for a visit on Saturday and treated us to a great time of fun at a new bowling/laser tag/arcade place. Grandma, Grandpa, Scott, Jeff and Cade all played a game of laser tag, Olivia and I joined in on the arcade games and general running around and we had a fun time eating together as well.

I also had the most wonderful time celebrating one of my dearest friends, Grace, at her bridal shower in Denver on Saturday. It was such a delight seeing her and a couple of other college friends as well. I wish I could have stayed for hours more, but alas, real life has to commence some time.

Enjoy a few photos of our fun times!
