Vanessa's First Birthday!

A birthday celebration for Vanessa - in warm Hawaii!!  This was on our back porch of the townhome we lived in, with one of mom's famous cat cakes - complete with licorice whiskers! :)  

Backyard Easter Egg Hunt

Dad and mom always did a great job hiding the dyed eggs in the backyard - so great, in fact, that one year we later found a rotten egg!  The hunts were fun, though, and the weather was gorgeous.  Look, they even did my hair! :)  (Candace & Chad - I'm guessing I was almost 4, and he was almost 6?)
