June 2016

June was a fun month. Elsie finished school on June 3rd and then the fun began! But first we had a few celebrations for Elsie for her birthday. We had cake and ice cream with grandma and grandpa and also another dinner with grandma Flora and Will's siblings at our house. Grandma brought some of the same decorations as for Catherine's party but this time it was Elsie's turn to get presents and blow out the candle. We enjoyed some fresh strawberries from our garden this June too. Elsie has had lots of fun with water balloons and Adah started putting beads in Catherine's hair. 

On the 3rd we were able to have a quick friend party for Elsie after an early day out of school. Then we took a red eye to Florida! We spent a week on the beach and in the pool with Will's cousin and his family. It was perfect! More to come on this. Elsie had her actual birthday in Florida where we celebrated with Will's cousins family.

Catherine turned 3!!!!

On May 20th Catherine had her third birthday! We celebrated with three scoops of ice cream on her actual birthday. Will was just getting home at 8pm and so we waited for a few days to have the big party with Will's mom and siblings. Grandma brought lots of decorations for the event. Elsie had fun helping put the decorations on the table. Adah worked on making some cute butterfly cupcakes with a surprise of mini M&M's inside of them. We had hotdogs with grandma's dog buns and pasta salad for dinner. Then did the usual birthday song followed by ice cream and cupcakes. It was a fun couple of days.
