Easter

We all had a great time, as you will soon see...

Ethan hunting for eggs

Cara searching for some

Cara's dress was made in Ghana while we were there in December

Cara found some in the bushes

Cephas and Owen hung out and just watched.

2 years old!

Again, not so good about getting a post up in a timely manner. Here are some pics from Cara's birthday, back in February.

I used the red and turquoise tablecloth as inspiration. I bought matching wrapping paper. I made red velvet cupcakes and dyed the cream cheese icing blue. I wore a blue shirt and Cephas wore a red shirt. I would have coordinated her dress to match as well, but I made it as a practice dress and then never got around to making another one.

Tissue paper flowers also coordinated

Cara's big present was a kitchen and she loved it!

Here she is with her cupcake. Cephas was taking pictures at this point in time and he could use some lessons in composition.

These are able all the pictures I have from her party. Terre and Owen came but Ethan and Tim stayed at home because Ethan had been sick. Pop and Nana were there too. Terre took some more pictures from me, but this is all that are on my camera.

The celebrations continued on her actual birthday, which was a Tuesday. We went out to lunch at Steak and Shake (which is a tradition we have started as you will see in the next few posts)


This is how we turned a double stroller into a triple stroller!

Christmas in April

I am really not good about blogging. Here are some Christmas pictures:

Cara putting the angel on the tree

Ethan and Cara in matching pajamas. Owen didn't have a matching pair because we bought them in the after Christmas sales last year and we didn't know he was going to exist yet.

The best family picture we got, even though it is blurry.

Nana and her grandchildren. Mom made those pajamas for the children so they would match the ones she bought for the grown-ups

Playing with the bubble wrap from one of the gifts. This is a typical view in the house- Mom playing with the kids.
