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

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


Easter baskets on Easter morning


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.
