February 24th through April 24th 2020

I am not sure how I can let this much time pass between posts but I did. Life got crazy once we were quarantined starting March 17, 2020. 

Ben celebrated his 14th birthday. He likes before and after pictures for decorations so we took those pictures.

 He was excited we surprised him with pizza cake.

 I was pretty excited by the meal the school provides for the weekend during quarantine

 Dad stopped by during work and surprised Ben with krispy kreme donuts

 We love the shirt our friend made for Ben. However, he thought it was a joke on him, because he calls me a quadragenarian and didn't know it was quarantine.

 Emily is excited about her fishtail for the pool, it was a birthday present.

 Our neighbor across the street had a drive-by parade for his birthday. Ben thought it would be funny to act like a car to deliver his card.

 Ben is helping Andrew share a testimony but he is nervous. He is covering up his eyes with Ben's tie.

 I think Ally has grandma Penny's eyes. They have hazel around the iris.
