Lets Go Fly A Kite

Happy March and April Birthday! We celebrated March and April birthdays at my parents house on Sunday. Happy Birthday to Carrilyne, Holly, Madison, and Adrienne! With 20 people in our family there's a lot of birthdays! We usually have everyone over once a month to celebrate holidays and birthdays combined. Because April has General Conference and Easter we moved April up to join March. With more and more moments of sunshine occuring everday we decided to have Spring Fling.

What better way to celebrate spring then a picnic themed dinner. We made a 6-foot sandwich, baked beans, apples and dip, veggies, lemonades, chips, and a raspberry cake. We found kites 2/$1 at the local dollar store and displayed them, one for each person. Later we selected our kites youngest to oldest. It was fun to see what people picked. The sandwiches tasted so fresh and made me so excited for Spring and Summer, warmth, garden vegetables and time outdoors.

 

Let's Go Fly A Kite!

It was a pretty enough day to spend some time outdoors. We normally have a breeze at our home but it was weaker than normal. We managed by adding bigger tails and helping eachother. Such a fun time!

We did birthday presents and had raspberry cake. We ended the night by toasting Holly and Tyson who got ENGAGED yesterday!! That'll be 3 weddings in one year for our family! Welcome to the family Tyson! Congratulations to you both!

It was such a fun, carefree evening. I'm glad we didn't have to cook anything or clean up much with paper plates. That left the evening open to be enjoyed with company and birthdays to be celebrated. We spent quite a bit of time outside together and then just gathered around the table and living room chatting. What a wonderful way to say hello and welcome to spring.
