April Turned 3!

She had a wonderful birthday weekend - if her face in these pictures doesn't prove it already :)


Blowing out the candles on her cake on the 25th:





The 26th was her "Party Day".  We had some fruit supplied by a certain Aunt and Uncle:



More cake!


Opening presents.  I was sitting beside April and her reaction to each gift was great.  She'd quietly whisper "wow" or "like Chloe's" ...Everything was loved immediately. 







This picture shows Chloe's reaction to most of the gifts.  Up, out of her seat, checking out the gift.  In this picture, she's "taking care of" April's new babydoll while seeing the new Strawberry Shortcake house.



The rest of the day was spent outside enjoying the sunshine.  Of course, the new barbies came along!


Mawna made her a violet-chain bracelet...


Before dinner we took our kite to the local football field....this girl did about 4 laps, 2 of them skipping, while wearing sandals.  Nothing like being three!

We enjoyed having Pop and Mimi, Kevin's parents, brother, and sister-in-law stay with us for the birthday weekend.  She's been playing non-stop with all her new things! Three is a fun year - Let's see how much she'll grow and change!

Thanksgiving Turkey

My brother-in-law raises turkeys, and we had one on Thanksgiving this year! It was a 31 pound turkey and took up a lot of space in my refrigerator for a few days before the holiday. I started the cooking process early so it was done by lunchtime.  Here is the turkey, barely fitting into my oven!  "the farmer and the chef" :)  

Spring has sprung?

This week has brought some strange weather! On Saturday, it was freezing while we watched Peter's baseball game - it was the "late night, under the lights" 8:00 pm game. and my toes were numb when the game was over. Then, Sunday was beautiful weather to watch soccer! April scored TWO goals in her game! We had a silent-auction at a church lunch on Sunday to raise money for the Youth Group Missions Trip. Peter bid on a cooler full of interesting flavored soda-pop....and he won! The first one he tried? Pickle Pop.  For a few years, our neighborhood has been the area of choice for a few mallard ducks to nest. The momma duck picked my neighbors' driveway this year...it seems like Spring must be coming if there are eggs!
