Easter

A month later seems like a good time to do a post about Easter, right? :)

We had a great Easter this year at Kelly and Dave's house.  Its always nice to get together with everyone and see the kids having fun.  The Easter egg hunt definitely had more than enough eggs for all of the cousins, so they loved that.  Thanks to the guys for finding spots to hide all of those eggs!

It is becoming very difficult to get a photo of all three kids looking:

Fiona loves her brothers!

They love when we make them line up for photo after photo before the egg hunt can start... ;)

Running for the eggs:

This was Fiona's first Easter celebration- last year she was born Easter morning!

All 11 grandkids:

Eric and Fiona.  This picture looks like he is holding my baby picture...

Grace and Lucy got bunnies from the Easter bunny!  Cal was excited to hold and pet them.

Lucy and Fiona having fun:

Grace and Fiona looking cute as ever:

Fiona was very interested in the bunnies!

All of the Grandboys: Tommy, Leyton, Luca and Cal.

Family photo attempt:

So serious and ready for a nap:

You know it was a good day when the baby puts herself to sleep on the hard wood floor:

The day before Easter we got our act together at home and finally dyed the eggs!

Cal loved putting the glitter on:

The bunny was nice enough to bring him his all-time favorite treat- a Ring Pop!

And Leyton got his favorite- Peeps!

Fiona and the ring pop wrapper... wishful thinking.

And wondering how she can crack one of those eggs open for herself ;)

Happy Easter!

Fiona's First Birthday!

On March 31st Fiona turned one!  I cannot believe how fast this past year went.  It seems like each kid grows faster than the last.  Fiona is a happy one year old, who is getting more and more curious about things, and is trying to say new words everyday.  She loves her brothers and lights up when she sees them come into a room.  She is starting to have separation anxiety when I hand her to someone else, so it's good that Eric drops her off at daycare most mornings, or I would probably never make it to work!  

We had a little celebration with the cousins at Grandma and Grandpa Mc's house the weekend of her birthday, and a couple weeks before that Aunt Sarah was home from Colorado and came to visit with Grandma and Grandpa Bostow.  Thanks for helping us celebrate Fiona everyone!

She was excited about her "smash cake":

Even more pleased with the big cake :)

When I set the big cake in front of her she was ready to go in for a big bite!

Her first taste of frosting:

The cousins helping her celebrate and blow out the candle:

The smash cake was a little big, and had a lot of frosting... I had to take it away before she ate herself sick!

Offering to share with others :)

So happy to be one and eating cake!

She wasn't quite sure what to think about opening presents.  

This picture is so cute!  Evelyn had just woken up, and Fiona is wondering how she got all that hair!

Checking out her new princess castle from Grandma and Grandpa:

And a new pretty dress:

Aunt Sarah got Fiona her first tea set, and she loves it!
