In mid-May I took Ellie and James to Ellie's friend's birthday party at the carousel. It was a great party and I had fun experimenting with my new camera lens. James and his friend Teddy were kind enough to let me capture photos of the two of them having fun together.
Our friends hosted us for a Mother's Day brunch this year which was nice. The kids had fun in their backyard and James was happy to have a football to play with. My Mother's Day gift was a new lens for my camera so I've been having fun testing it out. The real gift, of course, was spending the day with my favorite twosome.
In early May we went to Maeve's first communion. Ellie and James had so much fun playing in their backyard. The top photo is my attempt at getting a decent photo of the two of them in their Easter outfits.
Ellie and James went to their friends' birthday party in late April and had lots of fun. The party was for sisters who have the same birthday. It was a bike parade party and everyone decorated their bike and had a little parade, it was adorable and the kids had so much fun.
We planted trees after each of our children were born and they're growing beautifully. Ellie has a pink flowering tree and James has a white blossoming tree. It's so fun to see them bloom in the Spring.
James turned two on Easter Sunday and we celebrated his birthday with our family in Buffalo. He had a bunny cake and Aunt Kathy made him "2" cookies. Ellie enjoyed her first butter lamb and was happy to pose for a photo with it. James had a wonderful birthday and we're so glad we were able to be with so many people he loves on his special day.
Ellie and James had fun finding the Easter Baskets at Mimi and Papa's house. It was an extra special Easter for James because it was his second birthday!
