Rylan at the Rotana on Easter evening. We had a nice buffet dinner, enjoyed by all.

Outside at the Rotana!

Rydge being silly

One of the chefs at the Rotana gave the boys eggs with chocolates.

Rylan loved his supper, lots of seafood, sushi and desserts!

Happy Easter! Here are a few pictures from our Easter here in the UAE. No outside egg hunt.........toooooooo HoT!!!! The kids got super soakers from the big bunny tho and that kept them cool for a bit! Andy and I had to work, so that was super weird. We celebrated with the boys yesterday, a day early and then went to dinner tonight as a family. It was a different kind of Easter that is for sure. But, still fun in the end.

Coming home party and Andy's 40th birthday party.

When:August 20, 2011 Where: Randy and Laura's in Illinois City(Abby's mom and dad) Location: Behind our home. We currently have renters there, so we will not be able to use our property this year. TIME: 5pm Weenie Roast and Bon Fire....If its not too hot!!! Bring a dish to pass and lawn chairs. Hot dogs and bbq's will be provided as well as i-tea, lemonade, water, plates, and silverware. We will share our past year here in the UAE and celebrate Andy's 40th birthday. We(Abby and boys) plan to be home on or around July 16 and leave August 31. Andy will not be home until mid August, he needs to be in the UAE working, but he will be home to fly back with us in August. :) See you all soon, man this first year went fast for us! I can't believe we are already planning a trip home. WOW! ♥Abby
