Family Picture...

We tried to take ONE nice family picture on Easter. After many, many tries we finally got one. Look below to see the process.

Andrew really didn't want to sit still...

So he didn't...

We tried to bribe him...

That's when the egg throwing came in...

He thought it was much more fun to throw eggs than take a picture...

Daddy and Mommy began to get frustrated...

But Andrew kept doing his own thing, until...

He finally cooperated! The final product.

Happy Easter

We woke up this morning to discover the Easter Bunny visited our house. He left Andrew with lots of treats in his basket and eggs hidden in the house. Then we went over to Mama and Papa's house for some more Easter fun.

Good Morning! Look at all the fun stuff in the basket!

"Oh Wow!" The Easter Bunny left eggs all over.

"Oh boy" and "Oh geeze" were popular saying during the egg hunt.

Happy 2nd Birthday Andrew!

We had a quiet but fun birthday this year. Andrew woke up to 2 balloons in his room. We started off the day walking to one of Andrew's favorite breakfast places, McDonald's. Then he helped mommy bake banana cupcakes. We died Easter eggs, ate his favorite dinner, spaghetti, and sang Happy Birthday.

Dying Easter eggs for the first time.

He was so into egg dying it was very difficult to get him to look at the camera.

Andrew would say, "Ohhhh," every time he saw the egg changing color. Fascinating!

Eating his favorite spaghetti dinner.

Using utensils with spaghetti is too difficult so he prefers to use his hands.

Singing "Happy Birthday" to the big two year old!

Happy Birthday to Andrew!!

Egg Hunt

We had our 2nd annual egg hunt with the play group. There were about 100 eggs and 7 kids...Andrew ended up with 5 eggs. He's not very fast but he had lots of fun!

And they're off...

Look at the smile on his face!

Found one!

Checking out all the loot. It's so exciting to find the surprises inside!

Candy!! That sure was fun!

Play Time

Andrew loves to play go, go, go...even in the house.

Birthday Celebration

Andrew celebrated his 2nd birthday with the family. We played, had a BBQ, opened presents, ate cake, and enjoyed the special day.

It was a Curious George theme. Andrew's favorite!

Helping Daddy

Grandma gave Andrew a tricycle for his birthday and he helped daddy put it together. After seeing how much fun he had with a screwdriver, Andrew got his own tool set for his birthday.

Fun times with daddy.

Tightening the seat...at least trying.
