Happy Birthday Karen/Mom/Nana!

We all had a fabulous time celebrating your birthday with you on Saturday.  We hope you are having a wonderful day today too!
Here are a few highlights from the birthday party.

 After opening cards and presents, eating dinner and birthday cake, the adults conversed in the living room while the kids went downstairs to play.  Here’s what Sebastian and Ella looked like after 30 rounds of Wii Mario Kart.

We had such a great time we didn’t think to get pictures of everyone.  Oh well!  A big thank you goes to Sean and Melissa for hosting the party and also to Karen for having a birthday which gave us the opportunity to get everyone together. 🙂

Anticipation

We have been patiently waiting to see the daffodils bloom this spring.  We planted the bulbs last fall.  I had heard somewhere that deer, rabbits and squirrels would leave the bulbs and leaves alone.  Instead of trying to keep animals away from our gardens, we decided to plant things that they don’t like.  So far so good.  We didn’t expect to see the lovely yellow blossoms in mid-April, but we are not complaining! 

Here’s what we saw at the end of March… 

Leaves!

 Then we saw this on Sunday… 

Flower Bud

And here is what we saw when we got home yesterday…

Thanks Nana & Papa!

 

Dear Nana & Papa, 

Thank you for hanging out with us last week during our Spring Break.  We had a great time and loved spending time with you. Our favorite part was riding scooters on the lakewalk and having ice cream. 

You’re the best!! 

Love, 

Sebastian & Sophia
