March 2024 Recap
Happy Easter! It was a beautiful church service, some crazy basket hunting–Josh’s was in the Frunk of the truck, and Blake’s was in the sump pump hole, and some very yummy dinner. Pre-Easter Parties. Blake and I hosted a teen egg hunt where some eggs were stuffed with gold, silver, or bronze tickets that they…
