Easter was a dual celebration for us as it was Nikolas' 18th birthday! We essentially spent the first half of the day celebrating the resurrection of Jesus and the second half of the day celebrating the birth of Nikolas. :-)
Nikolas enjoyed driving us home from church (he's set to get his license soon--his appointment was later than he desired due to a backlog in appointments),
relaxation, good food of his choice, confetti cannons on his birthday cake (they turned out to be a bit of a flash in the pan, but they were fun),
and by the time we opened gifts, it had been such a long day that it was pretty much time to call it a night. :-)
Since our birthdays are so close together, Nikolas and I have created a tradition of designating a day for the two of us to get out and mark our milestones together--a kind of dual celebration that varies from year to year but almost always includes a lunch. This year, we visited a military surplus store, had a great sushi lunch together, grabbed a cup of tea, and did a bit of window shopping while we walked the downtown main street. It was a great day for the both of us. :-) I'm so happy getting older hasn't meant he's out grown spending time with me, just because. <3
Happy Birthday Nikolas! Welcome to 18 and the first level of adulthood!
