California Catch-Up

We had a busy end of year in 2015 and I finally got some posts up. I post-dated them so they would be in chronological order for my sake. Unfortunately they don’t show up in feeds because of last year’s dates.

Grampa & Gramma Visit

We had a nice, but extremely short 4 day visit with my parents. The last full day together was spent walking around Fairhaven. I forgot my camera, so I just have a few from my phone but it was a gorgeous day (80’s)! Had lunch at Avenue Bread, walked along the boardwalk, then back for Acme Ice Cream. We ended the day feeding chickens at a beautiful garden nursery. The chickens roam freely and the nice ladies give the kids chicken feed.

The first few pictures are launching the water bottle rocket at the park with some friends after Ruby’s birthday party. We got it to go pretty high and the kids loved it!

Ruby’s 1st Birthday Party

Ruby turned the big “1” on Saturday, April 16th. We had a small party attended by my parents and a couple close friends with kids. We enjoyed bunny themed cupcakes, snacks, and opening gifts. Ruby received some pretty cute clothes and a beautiful blanket/quilt Gramma Friesen made for her.

Ruby cried a little when we sang “happy birthday”, but she sure did enjoy eating her entire cupcake!

11 Months

Ruby is getting close to walking this month, but not quite sure of herself yet. She enjoys food, kisses, bath time (especially with big sis), and clapping her hands. She is pretty fun to have around :)
