On Good Friday, April 6th, we traveled to Nana and PopPop's house in Oregon for Easter Weekend. Saturday Aunt Shawn (Matt's sister), Uncle Mike, and Cousins Alex and Joshua joined us for a celebratory Easter dinner (at lunchtime). After dinner and before dessert, Nana and PopPop hid plastic candy-filled Easter eggs around the house for our boys to find. They had a blast!
PopPop's birthday was Sunday, April 8th, and Nana's birthday is coming up on Saturday, April 28th. Nana made PopPop a key lime pie for our Easter dinner dessert. Shawn and I conspired together for a surprise for Nana - I made and brought a secret marionberry pie to celebrate her birthday, too! Here are some pictures of them lighting their birthday candles.
Here they are joining in on the birthday song, singing it to each other. Aren't they the cutest??
And I captured the candle extinguish moment - puffed out cheeks and all!
And the following photos are ones Jay captured when he used the camera to capture his own Easter weekend moments. :) They made me laugh.
After dinner, it was time to put David down for his nap (and I took a nap, too). Meanwhile PopPop and Nana took Jay out on a little walk/explore near their home. When he returned Jay reported all the fun things he did -- throwing sticks in the little stream and watching them travel through a pipe and out the other side, etc. He also returned with a bouquet of yellow flowers which he gave to me with a "I love you, Mommy" and a hug around my leg. MELT MY HEART!! (Special thanks to Nana for helping Jay with that project.)
After church with Nana and PopPop on Easter Sunday we traveled back home. Later that evening we brought the boys to a favorite nearby park with waterfront access and I captured this sweet moment. It was a perfect, beautiful ending to a terrific weekend.
