Celebrating - Spring, Birthdays, Family

It was a day of celebrating with 4 generations of family. Our oldest son and his family came up from Seattle and joined our youngest son and his wife, my sister and my Dad for a great day. There were so many wonderful pictures taken that I've had a hard time choosing which ones to include. I'll start with this picture of Baby B. Everyone took their turn holding him and he delighted us all with his smiles.
We decorated a cake and cupcakes, celebrated Birthdays, read stories, played in the hot tub and shared a great meal together.

We celebrated the March birthdays with a special focus on our Grand princess,
Before dinner, we took a walk through the Cheam Wetlands - This regional park is just a few miles from our place and is great place to watch swans, geese and ducks and a wide variety of other birds. We were also on the lookout for signs of Spring on this the first day of the season. We are all pictures takers in this family and our two sons in particular, have SLR cameras and have an eye for what makes a great photo.It was fun to watch the different generations enjoy each other's company. My Dad loved being with his great grandchildren and we were so happy he spent the day with us.
The weather forecast had been for a cloudy day with possible showers but as you can see we basked in the sun and relative warmth and enjoyed every minute of it with gratitude. We missed our daughter and her family from Sask. but were grateful that those that could come did. What a great way to welcome Spring!
