Easter

Easter morning was pretty relaxed for us because we went to church on Saturday night. It was a great service and reminder of what Christ did for us on the cross.

We got Ben a bag of a few little things, so we let him open that up after breakfast. I didn't get him a basket (bag instead) because I honestly don't know what do with it once Easter is over...we'll see if I decide to get him one next year. :)

We got him some sand toys for his sandbox. My parents got him a bucket and shovel last weekend, so he should be all set. He is holding part of a screwdriver. Curt was fixing one of Ben's trains with it earlier and Ben did not want to put it down.


Some more coloring books!


While he was napping, we hid a few eggs for him in the living room. Here he is opening one of his eggs.

Eating the treats inside the egg.

Finding another egg underneath the chair.


"Which one should I open first?"


I think this is a horrible picture of me...Curt took it when I wasn't looking. :) But, I like that it shows how Ben wants to be near me in the kitchen. I was making a pie crust for the chicken pot pie I made for dinner, and he had to stand on the chair watching the whole thing.

That is so cute when Ben was looking for the Easter eggs. It's so much fun when they get older and can do fun things like that with them! We love to do holiday traditions with our kids too! Give him kisses for us! =)

Enjoying December

I'm glad we had time to make sugar cookies together. Christmastime does not seem complete without them. I frosted the cookies while Ben and Curt decorated.  Lots of sprinkles and chocolate chips!  Ben loved getting slippers and a robe with his "Christmas Eve" jammies. He does love to be cozy. We decided to move up our present opening a day early because we thought I might end up in the hospital on Christmas. But, today is the 27th and still no baby. So we were a bit off on that one.  Santa brought the Lewis Hamilton car that Ben had asked him for. He was very excited!  The new pirate ship has been a favorite. He has played with it a TON a last few days.  Ben also got a few more pirate dress-up things. I've heard "Aarg!" a lot lately. :)  My parents came yesterday for a visit since my dad has this week off of work. We're hoping that I'll have the baby while they are here, but I'm not sure that is going to happen since they head home tomorrow. Ben ...

The Big 3-0!

Today I turned 30 years old. I didn't think that it would make me feel old, but it kinda does. :) I had a wonderful birthday. Curt went out and got us donuts for breakfast. Then, I got to open my presents. He did a great job shopping and I love everything he picked out! For lunch we went out to Olive Garden and then stopped by the mall for a little while. We spent the rest of the afternoon relaxing at home. I hope this getting older doesn't mean that gray hairs are going to start showing up! While I got ready this morning, Curt got out his old car track. He hasn't used it in many years, so he wasn't sure if it would work. Ben loved watching the cars race around the track. We enjoyed eating lunch at Olive Garden. Ben was too interested in coloring to look up at the camera. I love cheesecake for my birthday and Curt made this one for me all by himself. It is a chocolate chip recipe that is one of my favorites. He only added one candle per decade...we didn't ...
