march madness

It's been several years since March Madness meant basketball to me and my world.  The beginning of that end probably coincided with meeting and dating Clayton (not a big sports fan my hubby).  And then Emma's entrance cemented it for me.  Now it's all about the craziness that is the Gates Family March.  Both my mom and my MIL have birthdays this month in addition to our first born.  My homemade February covered gifts for them both - a lovely lemon coconut moisturizer for Clayton's mom and yummy botanical gin (!) for mine.  And then it was a trip to San Diego for a conference/family vacation.  Next: work, work, work.  And most recently, Emma's third birthday!

Since Easter is early this year and fast approaching we decided to have an Easter egg hunt this past Saturday to celebrate Emma Rose.  It was mostly a family affair and she had a great time with the majority of her cousins in attendance (only the two oldest and the youngest missed out).  Easter themed cake balls for the kiddos and a Gin and Tonic station for the adults.  Fun and delicious!
