March Birthday Celebration, Take 2

Last Saturday, we spent the afternoon celebrating the March birthdays with Gene's side of the family. It was a gorgeous day and the cousins spent time running, pedaling, and climbing outside.

David learned how to pedal a tricycle and happily rode in circles.

Dinner was codfish cakes, and Henry drew this funny picture of a fish cake for dessert!

 Nana took a break from making dinner and everyone played outside.

After dinner, we sang "Happy Birthday" three times to celebrate Michael, Henry and Aunt Jess.

Michael is 5!

My big 8 year old.

Happy birthday to Jess!

After lemon cupcakes, it was time for presents.

 

I'll leave you with a couple last shots of Mike and Gene. 

March is a hopping birthday month!

Easter

It was a busy Easter eve here at our house with visits from both the Tooth Fairy and the Easter bunny. Henry woke up to find a note, a dollar coin and a chocolate egg under his pillow.

Downstairs, the boys found baskets full of goodies.

We enjoyed Nana's sweetbread for breakfast, too.  

We spent the afternoon at Nana and Pop's house, and the cousins all had a blast playing together. The big kids waited patiently for David to wake up from his nap so we could start the Easter egg hunt.

Gene led them in some pretty funky dance moves.

David couldn't wait to join the fun!

One group shot before the hunt.

Will really wanted this egg in the bush.

And they're off!

This is my favorite shot of the big kids. They had such a good time!

While the adults cooked Easter dinner, the kids played outside. 

And then we played outside more after the meal.

We hope your Easter weekend was full of chocolate eggs, Easter baskets and time with loved ones!
