And that was April...

Wow! April has come and gone in a flash. The weather has been fabulous and our month has been filled with celebrations...birthdays and more birthdays and a birth! The pics aren't actually in order - backwards more less, so maybe start at the bottom and scroll up if you like chronological order. Anyways, here's to a spectacular MAY!!
APRIL 17th
Trent and Maggie turned 5...I'm still in shock - I have to stop calling them "the babies" already!! Happy with their scooters!

Cakes # 3 & 4 - Just because they're twins I don't feel they should have to share everything....SOOO...I let them pick out their own individual cake design. Needless to say that by my birthday on the 19th, we're pretty "caked" out!

The twins had a family birthday celebration with Oma, Opa, Papa, Aunt Nicole, Wade and us. The cousins came on the weekend for the final hurrah...but no pics!! Oops!


CHEESE!
APRIL 3rd

Connor turns 10 - Cake #1 - on his actual birthday. Kelsey alerted me to these amazing self lighting candles...you light the first one and voila...the rest light up on their own! No more burning your wrists!


The birthday party - one guest still on his way...



Cake #2 - the party cake - Detroit Red Wings/Hockey theme - filled with mini-sticks matches, target shooting and decorating their own goalie mini-stick

Cousins - Connor, Jordan and Matthew - faithful attenders each year


Our first meeting with our newest nephew - Joshua. What a cute family eh? So thankful that all went well and everyone is adjusting amazingly!!
