April 2021: Easter + Family & Friend Birthdays Galore

 

This April was simply wonderful!  So many celebrations going on and getting back to some type of normal for family birthday celebrations.  Grateful is the word!

LOL, when you've had a long day...

Making treats @ Memere & Pepere's


Easter Egg hunting

Grace and Wesley kept shaking eggs and putting them down if they didn't hear change jingle in the egg.  Lesson of the egg hunt?  Don't do that :)  Anna grabbed all the eggs no matter if they made a sound or not.  Guess who had the most eggs with dollar bills in them?  Classic.

Memere, Pepere & their grands

Aunt Cindy and Uncle Linton

Our family

Cute fruit skewers!

presents

Happy birthday Aunt Cindy & Grace!!

"Can we please, mommy???"  

Pepere, knocking Wesley off his float lol

Picnic lunch @ the park

Other side of Riverbanks Zoo, the botanical gardens and new play area

Our animal whisperer




Found this bike at a shop on the side of the road...leave it to Pepere to fancy it up and add training wheels for his princess.

He's fine

No, this didn't happen after that fall ;)


More ninja park

Happy birthday, Dr. K!!


Had the privilege of coaching Grace's soccer team this year and it was a BLAST!

Jimmy coached Wesley's team...also a blast!  So fun to watch them play.

Grace's birthday party at Zootastic.  We did a private animal encounter...it was hilarious!!

Baby kangaroo


Baby armadillo

Lemurs!!  They were by far the most entertaining.





Spending her Easter Egg $

Only Grace would pick out bookmarks to give to her class as party favor, lol.  I convinced her that not everyone may be as avid of a reader as she, and we may want to think of a sweet treat as well.  Cue bunny Oreo balls!

Aren't they adorable?  My friend has a business and makes these so let me know if you want her information!

Ice cream surprise with the Cloers!!
