Birthday and Easter Celebrations

Birthday celebrations continued as Mason and my mom both had birthday last week.  My mom was going to be in Washington visiting our family there , so we celebrated the week before on Easter Sunday. My mom made Mason a train cake and  surprised me with a camera cake!

Working hard on their eggs!

Look what sprouted from our jelly bean seeds

I was surprised when Mack asked to have Cheerios for breakfast on Easter morning. I thought she'd much rather scour her Easter basket . Then I saw that she had a creative thought in mind

Mason was very excited to be the center of attention but he did not like being sung to.

On Mason's actual birthday, Mackenzie stayed home from school and we celebrated at the zoo! It was a perfect day to spend at the zoo. After our Zoo day, we ordered steamed dumplings for dinner- Mason's favorite- and watched Cars.  After all of that, he was exhausted and even requested to be put to bed!

You're two now, Mason. It's time you start carrying your share of the load.

Mason sure loves this bubble lawn mower he got from the Hansfords

Birthday morning! Grammy's gift was a bit hit.

Off they go!

The last time I rode on a carousel with Mackenzie, I had to stand next to her to hold her up!

A big bright spot in the day was when Mack and Mike got to feed the Larakeets. They talked and talked about how much fun that was! Those photos are on Mike's phone so I will get them on the computer and post them soon.

After a long, exhausting birthday, Mason was carried to the car atop his daddy's shoulders. With a stop in the gift shop, a drink of cold water and his binky, he snuggled in for a short nap on the way home.

Two is exhausting.
