April's Adventures

The biggest event in April was Greta's 5th Birthday. 
Grandma K sent a huge package to Greta.




Inside we found a beautiful handmade blanket. She absolutely loves it. 
Thank you Grandma K!



Here is Greta snuggling with both gifts from her Grandma's K and B. 




Because I have become obsessed with High Tea... that became the theme for Greta's birthday. I scoured the thrift shops for tea cups, saucers, kettle, lace, etc. Then we had a pre-party to celebrate Grandma B, cousin Tori and Greta's bday. 











How great is my mom! She even dressed up for the event :)








On Greta's actual birthday, we had a repeat party. Each of the girls had their own hat, gloves and made their own "pearls". 


And of course we had the bounce house set up.






Birthday cupcakes....


Teddy-bear tea party...



Necklace crafting station...




One of our big project for the month was putting in a new garden. 
Here are the before shots....



We even got the neighbour boy to come and haul rocks :)






I must have erased the final project after I posted it on Instagram. I will add it to my June update. ;)



I can't tell you how many hours it took to haul, shovel and mix all the manure, and the wood chips and make the boxes. It felt like forever!

Oh man, that spread - looks so yummy. And I love the lace tablecloth tied off like that. Adorable.
