Easter 2011

Logan woke up first. He ran in looking for the Easter bunny. He totally passed up the baskets and was confused... until he saw the basket of CANDY on the kitchen table.

His excitement woke up Tyson

who also broke out a smile when he saw the basket of CANDY.

The boys had so much fun exploring their baskets

Tyson even gave a little clap to show his appreciation

Somebody loves peeps!

Logan loved his Spiderman coloring book!

After feeding our kids candy for breakfast, we dropped them off in the church nursery. There is a special reward in heaven for the Easter Sunday morning Sunday School teachers!
We had a great service at church celebrating our risen Lord.

Who told them they could grow up?

Happy Birthday to our Cousins

--- and one Uncle. Two of Logan and Tyson's cousins and one of their Uncles all share a birthday week. We've had lots of fun birthday celebrating.
We started by taking a trip out to Warrenton to visit Grandma and Grandpa Higgins. Logan enjoyed the car ride.

 But Tyson fell asleep :)

 Once we got there, Tyson was ready to party!

 It was a beautiful day. It was 90 degrees. Pretty warm for the beginning of April. Here's the birthday boy hanging out on the porch with Grandpa and Uncle Brian.

 The boys were all anxious for cake!

 That's a lot of boys! Jared was turning 5 years old! His dad, Uncle Jason, also has a birthday the same week.

 These two cousins are only 6 weeks apart in age. Don't you wish you could know what they are discussing?

 We had fun with Uncle Brian but we sure missed Kari!

 The next weekend was dedicated to celebrating Nick's birthday! Nick had a swimming party at the Ste. Genevive Rec Center. Logan loved the big pool. After we went swimming we went to the party room to PARTY!

 Again, that's a lot of boys! Nick opened his presents-- with a little bit of help from his little brother.

 Nick had a Penguins of Madagascar birthday party. Julie made the poster backdrop.

 Logan loved getting to celebrate Nick's birthday-- and eat pizza. I've been telling Logan that his birthday would come after Nick's birthday. As the party guests were leaving and the party was wrapping up, Logan leaned over to me and whispered, "Now it my birthday?"

 Tyson liked hanging out with Grandpa. Tyson DID NOT like the water. He would not have anything to do with Grandpa while Grandpa was in the pool. Once Grandpa got out, he was happy to hang with him.

 Tyson also loved playing with Nick's balloons and being around the big boys!

Happy Birthday to Jared, Nick, and Uncle Jason!
