Sunday we went to visit my Mom to celebrate her birthday. The day was absolutely beautiful and we all relaxed outside. Mom went fishing for trout on Saturday and had her fishing hat out. Of course we had to make fun of it. My sister Jana came up with the name Panama Granama which I thought was hilarious.
Below is the cake I made for mom. The butterflies are made out of royal icing. I saw the idea in a cake book and decided to give it a try.
We've been taking advantage of the beautiful weather we've been having lately. We love to put Harris in the grass and watch as he squirms. He hates to crawl in the grass because of how it feels on his hands. I believe that we could place him on a blanket surrounded by grass and know that he wouldn't move from the blanket.
I'm currently taking a cake decorating class by Wilton. Last night was the second session and we did our first cake. I think it turned out ok. I still have a lot to learn. I'm getting excited thinking about ideas for Harris's 1st birthday. I've seen all kinds of cake and party ideas. Hopefully this class will help me learn the basics so that I can be prepared by June.
Harris had a great Easter. The day started off with finding the basket the Easter Bunny left.
Next Harris had some great hang time with Dad.
We went to Grandma & Grandpa Roemke's for dinner and played with the singing bunny.
Next we went to Grandma & Grandpa Kimmerly's for an Easter Egg Hunt. Harris doesn't much care for the grass, so he didn't collect that many. Plus there was some serious competition between all the cousins.
My 7 year old niece Kayla stayed the night on Wednesday since it was her spring break. We had lots of fun and she was a big help. She helped with Harris and we made lots of cupcakes for Easter. Ever since her stay with us, Harris has been chatting a lot.
This past weekend was absolutely beautiful. My sister and niece visited Harris and I. We went for a nice walk and played on the playground in the neighborhood. Harris really enjoys the swings. I also let him play in the rocks and was quite happy when he didn't try to eat any of them.
