I have found, over the last 5 years, that quiet holidays spent at home with our small family are my favorite.

Don’t get me wrong, I miss celebrating with our extended family, but it is so nice to not have anything we have to do on a day like today.

We are starting our own traditions. I love it.

And, when we decide that the excitement and celebrating is over, it is over.

It was over around 9:30 this morning. Shortly after breakfast.

And we moved on with our day…

The kids and I went to the club where I ran almost 4 miles (finally getting back to normal), the kids played with friends, and Ryan stayed home to do a P90X workout.

I am off to take a nap while the kiddos do the same and the hubby gets some work done.

home is…happy easter, everybody!
