happy happy and Easter

  I guess I never realized when Allie was born on the 7th of April that there would be times when her birthday would fall on Easter. Not that it is a bad thing but it just makes for a busy time.  Her birthday was the day before Easter this year.  It was a fun day.

We woke her up with her breakfast favorite of pancakes with "bipit" syrup.  She kept looking at us like were were crazy as we sang Happy Birthday to her.

Following a mini celebration we headed down to see if the Easter Bunny had stopped at our house. The bunny always makes a stop at our house on friday night becasue there is no way he/she (the gender of the eb is still under debate at our house) can hop to everyones house in one night.

This little one didn't care to much about her basket of treats just the fact that she had 3 binks and her favorite blanket made it a good morning for her.

Emma was excited to get some new clothes and treats from the EB.

Madison was happy with her loot

and C.J. was excited about his mini football.

Emma had a present for Allie to open that morning, then we were off to G&G Bogh's house for a day of Easter fun and Birthday celebrations.

We started by making paper boats that were blown across the floor with a fan.  The kids had so much fun.  they were split into age groups.

I would like to say that our kids boats did really well, but that was not the case.  If you want an awesome paper boat ask someone else becasue the boats we helped our kids with didn't make it to far before they tipped over and sank.

It was fun though.

Then we moved on to celebrate Allie turning 2.  she was a bit more excited this time, but the candles were still a little much for her.

Her 2 cherries cake.

After cake we played some BINGO.  As you can tell Allie loved playing, well eating the treats anyway.

C.J. could not get a BINGO and was not shy about letting me know he was not happy about it.

Emma was very intense about the whole game.  The games were a distraction while the eggs where hidden outside.

The hunt was on,  There were tons of eggs to be found.

Tom was incharge of keeping the big kids in the house so the little ones could have a chance to get their eggs first.  This picture shows me that there are probably more big kids than little kids in teh Bogh family now, which is so crazy.  They are all growing up so fast.

Allie kept handing her eggs to grandpa.  He would open each one and show her what was inside and then she would close the egg.  After each egg had been opened and closed several times she took each one and emptied the contents into a box.  She liked playing with the plastic eggs much more than she liked the candy inside.

Easter Sunday.  This was the best picture that I got of all of the kids on Easter Sunday.  Allie was acting crazy and would not hold still.  She didn't want to stand by the big kids she just wanted to be by herself.

As soon as I snapped a few pictures the big kids ran in the house to change their clothes. Allie didn't mind letting me take a few pictures of her by herself.

Happy Easter and Happy Birthday baby Allie.
