Daddy Day for April

For our April Daddy Day we went to the city beach in Granbury. It was a perfect day and due to a thunderstorm the night before no one came to the beach. The sand was a little damp but not bad at all. We had the whole beach to ourselves for the day. The sun was up, it was cool, and wonderful. The kids loved playing in the sand. We built sandcastles, buried the girls, played in the water, and had a picnic lunch. Luke tasted the sand once and that was it. He played and played and loved trying to knock over the girls sandcastle. He also loved sitting by the water's edge and splashing. We all had a nice, relaxing day.

Just like that, my baby boy turned one! It went by incredibly fast and now he is my big boy.  We did just a small family party for him at home and used decorations leftover from Claire's party. It worked out well considering Claire had a How to Train Your Dragon theme. So we had a dragon theme and I used a little Toothless toy to put on his cake. The girls decorated his cake with green sprinkles and mini chocolate chips. It actually looked like dragon landscape, grass and rocks. Luke didn't really like his cake and ended up throwing it on the floor. He loved his gifts though. What a precious boy the Lord has given our family.
