My neice is ONE!

Just a happy-go-lucky ball of squishy cuteness!!!

Happy 1st birthday my sweet little neice!

Aww, Catriona and her cousins...

The proud mamma! My beautiful sister-in-law!

Proud Daddy, my brother :)

Aw, she LOVED her yummy banana cake!

Catriona's first nail polish! She was in awe, it was sparkly especially in the sun :)

Proud Auntie and sweet little birthday girl :)

It was a fun day! The kids had a great time! I love going to my brother and SIL's house, we always have fun!

My Catriona...

What? Doesn't she have lovely hair?

Ah, much better!!!

What a beautiful afternoon me and Catriona had together this day...the first really warm day! She's just precious to me...

Our new sandbox!

Kids LOVE this sensory activity! It's very relaxing and satisfying for them.

I love Catriona's imagination... Our fairie house!
Ah, the Easter Bunny wouldn't forget the fairies!

Happy Easter!

Easter morning was so much fun with the kids...Nicole came over with my grandson and his daddy.... Then we had a nice dinner together and celebrated Springs arrival of all new things to come! The Earth is alive with renewal!

I was so excited to get Catriona this little handmade mermaid, as she's been pretending to be one for weeks! :)

Big kids still love Easter....gee we don't need to wonder why! lol

Quick! The Easter bunny hid eggs all over and around, the yard!

Big sis just had to help!

So cute, and so much fun!

Wait, what's happening here? A race to find the last egg, the one no one has found yet, the one that we call the "special" egg! hehe

Aaaand, as the older kids battle it out (jokingly) the little one swoops in and finds it! WooHoo Catriona! :) *as it should be! lol

Nicole is NOT walking away sulking? Oh yes she is! hehe (she's a riot!) as Kurtis humbles in his defeat!

All is good in love and war!

Aww, Uncle Kurtis and nephew Robbie, so sweet!

Aww, my precious girls!!!

Picture perfect...

The elders :)
I count my blessings often...
