April Flowers

We started off the month of April with a party for Beatrice's second birthday. This is not an April fools prank, Bea is actually turning two (on April 5th). Were did the last two years go? We had a "sweets" themed party. Basically all of the decor was sorbet inspired, including Bea's outfit. We had a few friends and relatives over to celebrate the occasion and spent the entire party outside.

It was a pretty unstructured affair. Just lots of running, playing, laughing and eating. I spent the first half of the party in the kitchen making lunch so I didn't get many great shots of the kiddos playing. I am hoping a few other party goers will send me their pictures. When they do I will post them.




Elliot and his second cousin Joey. More about the box Elliot is holding in an upcoming post. 


Bea testing out her new scooter, her gift from Mommy and Daddy. 

Elliot is such a helpful guy.

Elliot and I planted lots of tulip bulbs in the fall. 
A little friend gave Bea the watering can. She was a very serious  gardener. 



Frank gave Bea some new paints. She is also a very serious artist.
