Eden turned one year old today. Erika made her some apple cake, which she seemed to like once she was finished playing with it. Below is some cell phone video of the event.
Ember’s Fourth Birthday
Between Ember’s birthday, Easter, and General Conference, the first weekend of April is always very busy for us. This year Ember decided to celebrate by hosting a Fancy Nancy birthday party. Several of her friends came by for dress up, butterfly crafts, and cupcake decorating… all between two sessions of General Conference. Grandma was here to join in the festivities, and took the lead on directing some of the crafts.
Wilmington Field Trip
Sierra and I accompanied her fourth-grade class on a field trip to Wilmington, NC today. After gathering at the school at 5:45 am, we took a couple charter busses on a three-hour tour, landing at the USS North Carolina. This was apparently the most decorated battleship in WWII, and was incredible to say the least. We then spent a couple hours at a nearby aquarium before wrapping things up at the beach. We had a great time, and it’s hard to believe that this was our first visit to the beach in the almost three years we’ve lived in NC. We’re looking forward to our longer stay at OBX this summer.
Baby Face
Cute kid.
