Today, April 8th, is International Bird Day. It was a lovely spring day, and several of the girls were out filling the bird feeder and enjoying the birds....
While the adults were making introductions, Nami went to welcome the new little girl... ... and offered her a balloon... "It's so nice to see you again...." Ringo came over to meet the new girl... Paige and David introduced themselves to the new boy.... "Happy Birthday Monica!" "This is our dog, Shadow..."
Back at the castle, Grace and Jude were the first to arrive at Monica's party... "It's good to see you again, brother..." The children were very curious.... "I'd like you to meet Jude....." "...and his two children...." "Welcome to the family.." "Thank you sire. It's an honour to finally meet you." "It's good to have you back..."
Today is National Tartan Day, and Aeran was at the fabric shop looking at their tartans.... "I really like this one..." Aeran had brought Bonnie with her..... "This one looks familiar..."
In addition to being Easter yesterday, April 4th was also National Read a Roadmap Day. Definitely good for when one is lost....and doesn't have GPS.... "I'm pretty sure it's that way..." "I have another map, if you need it..." "No..... thanks. I'm pretty sure it's just a little further ahead..."
A few of my littlest girls had an Easter egg hunt today.... Not much was growing in the garden yet, so the eggs weren't exactly 'hidden'.... "Look at this really big one!" There were tiny chickies running around too...
After she was dressed, the children took Monica to the Great Hall to see her birthday cake... "It's absolutely gorgeous!" "It's going to be a shame to cut it up...." Then she posed for the traditional birthday portrait with her cake... ...and the family group portrait.... Then the hall was made ready, and tables laid out with all manner of delicious treats... "I think we are ready for our guests.."
The children were all excited... "Happy Birthday Mom!" "Thank you sweethearts..." "I love you Mom..." "I love you too...."
