Enchanted April

The month of April held two events of great importance - Easter and my parents' visit home. We documented both events with lots of photos. This post, however, will cover just our Easter celebrations because the total number of pictures would leave you "scrolling" for endless minutes, so I will save the rest of the pictures for the next post.

Jerald and I took Summer to the annual Easter cake decorating extravaganza at Bowmans, our local grocery store. Here is a photo of our masterpiece. Sadly, the cake tasted like a bath sponge with a loathesome vegetable shortening-infused frosting that HAD to have been non-biodegradable. But, hey, the fun we had decorating the cake was the most important part!

On Easter Sunday, Summer was a vision in silver-sparkled mint green. Her Grandma Wendy, as an Easter present, purchased this twinkly creation for her, and my sister, Stephanie, custom made her hair bows to match. Thanks, Mom and Steph!





The week after Easter, we celebrated with Jerald's family with a picnic in the park, followed by an Easter egg toss and an Easter egg hunt. We also played volley ball and blew bubbles!

Below is a shot of us getting ready to take turns throwing our Easter eggs. We had a contest to see who could throw their egg the farthest, without it breaking and exploding. It's childish behavior, but we embraced it.

All of the Easter festivities wore little Summer out! She transformed into Sleeping Beauty on the way home. And just like the princess herself, Summer couldn't look more kissable!
