Oh, yeah...Easter!

Knitting is not my Forte (and onions)

A while ago my mom gave my a kit to knit some baby booties and a hat. Everything was included, even a video. I guess it was too advanced for me because it turned out waaaaay too small. My mom ended up taking all the materials and re-doing it for me. She is a pro with anything handmade, so I knew it would turn out awesome. Turns out that Aaron loves the results! He loves to wear his little bear hat and slippers.

Mom, these are for you!

He can put it on all by himself!

By the way, this little guy LOVES to eat raw onions!

18 Months old!

Here are the official photos courtesy of JCPenney! They always seem to do a good job, and for around $30 I can get all the shots I want. Sounds like a commercial, doesn't it? It's simply because in the past I have spent waaaay too much $$$ on photos for my kids, so I am justly proud of my frugality.

The only hard part is getting him to smile and stay put. He's such a momma's boy that he freaks out a little if I put him down somewhere unfamiliar, with someone unfamiliar trying to interact with him. We can see that tenacity prevailed.

Easter Egg Hunts and Cuteness

Okay, so I didn't get any photos of them actually looking for the eggs. Aaron would freak out every time I left his side. So I took a few pics around the actual event. Our ward had an East Egg Hunt eventfor the primary children, hosted by a family in the ward who had an excellent lawn for a hunt. It was a gorgeous sunny morning, albeit a bit chilly.
The little guy didn't leave my side for an instant, pretty much. But he had fun trying to put the eggs in his elmo basket. (Which I bought cheap after easter last year!)
Elena wouldn't even look up at the camera for fear her hoard of eggs would disappear. Yes, our kids are fans of the seasonal hunt and harvest. Especially if candy is involved!

Just a random shot from a day at the park.

Now here we have Daddy and son, both wearing the exact same jumper. Who knew kids' clothing couldn't last 33 years? Healthtex brand, everyone.


This picture makes him look so grown up!
