Happy Birthday Norah!!

So it was a few weeks coming, but we were able to get some family and friends together for a small gathering to celebrate Norah's birthday. Both the kids were sick, Caedon had pneumonia and an ear infection and passed it on to Norah who had bilateral ear infections prior to our planned get-together which set it back. It was a fun day with only one regret, I didn't get more pictures of our guests. We had some special guests in attendance; my Great Grandma and Grandpa Exsted which was really special for Norah. Happy Birthday big girl!!

Happy Birthday Sweetie!!!

Norah got her first tutu on her birthday

Jen did an excellent job on the cupcakes

Norah surprised us all when she made a near attempt at blowing out her candle

Lovin' the frosting

Okay...now what?

Caedon had no trouble eating his cupcake

Norah wanted to share her cupcake with Papa Randy

Papa was nice enough to give it back

Caedon got his hands in on the fun

Easter 2010

Norah is starting to scoot, but no walking yet

I thought this was a funny picture of a seagull trying to steal our bread that we were throwing to the ducks.

We stained Easter eggs this year and they turned out great

One of Norah's first "girl" toys...yep she turned one later that week

MMM...peanut butter and chocolate

Looking all dapper on Easter

Easter Egg Hunt 2010

My second cousin, Stephon, helped Caedon find the eggs

Maya was snapping pics all day, but took some time to review her work

I'm not sure whose idea this was, but it turned out pretty cute

Caedon saw Norah's ears and wanted to put his on

Afton was a good sport and tried on her bunny ears

Westwood Nature Center held a class called "Spring Surprises." The kids had a lot of fun finding all the different critters.

Maddie came over to play and this was one of the funniest pictures I've seen. Priceless facial expressions all around.
