MARCH MADNESS

                                      Every year, in the last two weeks in march, they try to determine who is the best college Basketball team in the USA. They call it March madness.
 
                                       I call it March madness because there were lots of activities every day in this month.  First of all it was our 27th Anniversary  on the 6th. and Donna and I celebrated with a delicious dinner and a tasty bottle of Chateau Ste Michelle.

I hope we have many more days like that.

We love our Mussel "mariniere".

                            3 days after,  Gina organized a get together for the family and friends on the 9th, Daniel purchased a fabulous Prime rib and I prepared the rest, so everybody could enjoy a great dinner before playing cards.

I think they waiting for the chocolate cake to be served.

All the woman's getting ready to beat the men in cards

I got distracted by Nitro

Windy and Brian enjoying the night.

I like when my daughter in law is nice to me.

Nice picture of Karla and Eric and great T-shirt

All that concentrating did not helped,

we still lost against the Girls!

                               Every few days in March we got blessed with the presence of Eliana, because Daniel and Gina are trying to sell the old house and to do that they had some showings where they could not be present, so they came to visit us. It was always a great and happy time.

We even had a lunch date

    

                    Here we go a few days later, St Patrick day, another party at the house with all the grand kids!!

                                        On palm Sunday, the 24th, comes the big surprise. The second biggest snow storm in St Louis ever. In less than 6 hours, we had 13 inch of snow. It was beautiful and I loved it.         

In 2 hours the driveway disappeared

The birds are begging for food

Donna is spoiling the birds!

A good old fashion raclette is perfect for this snow day.

13 inches by nightfall!

                                   And now the biggest news of the Month :

             

Daniel and Gina bought a new House in the county

            The house is in Defiance, MO. It is more like a mansion with swimming pool and lots of land.

and there are ready to move in the first of April. So end of this month Donna and I where exited to go help them cleaning and get the house ready for the move.

The help is arriving

The country look for good measures with the babysitter on the balcony

As you see, March was a busy month for us.  There was a lot more I don't have pictures of such as:

We attended a Jazz concert with Windy, Brian, Jacob and Luke at Lindenwood on March 22, dinner first and ice cream afterwards...yum.  

Jacob and Luke stayed over two nights over in March which was crazy and wonderful.

Coming soon:

Easter and all that wonderful madness to end March
