Big Apple Circus

So not only did Mommy forget to charge the small camera before we left for the circus, but she also managed to somehow lose the few pictures that we did take before the battery died when Daddy updated to a new version of iPhoto recently. *weep* Below is the one and only picture that came out from Daddy's iPhone. Bree's munching happily on a churros. YUM! I wish I could say the kids LOVED the circus, but the Big Apple Circus (which we saw in Boston, obviously) was a little weak in the animal department. The kids were less than impressed by the human acts. Hopefully Barnum & Bailey will come to town one of these days. I think they would enjoy that one much better.

More Baby Love

Bree was too busy taking care of her baby this morning, to come join us at the breakfast table.

Putting the Babies to Bed

Oct-Pus Towel

Brienne LOVES the "Oct-Pus" (octopus) towel that Nimmy and DB got her for Easter. She insists on sitting under the barstools while wrapped up in it. Not sure why, but that's her thing. Makes her quite happy, as you can see. :-)

Easter

It was really cool to see Aiden get into the whole Easter Bunny thing this year. He was SOOOO excited! So excited, in fact, that he was downstairs long before anybody else. Little did the Easter Bunny know that the tissue paper he placed inside Brienne's basket would act as a burglar alarm of sorts, alerting Mommy to the fact that Aiden was up to no good while the rest of us were still in bed!

Thrilled with her new Dora the Explore big wheel bike.

Coloring with her new "da-dos".

Checking out his Super Why flashcards that the Easter Bunny brought.

We brought some of Aiden's "Wicked Decorated Cookies" to Auntie Deb's house for Easter Dinner. Sure hope my family likes sugar.....

Snuggles with Grammy in lieu of a nap.

The Easter Bunny made a stop in Gloucester, too! Lots of cool beach stuff and other goodies.

Taking the new bike for its first spin outdoors.

Easter Egg Hunt

Our plans for an outdoor Easter Egg Hunt with the Maclean boys got rained out, so instead we moved the festivities indoors. Before the sugar high, the kids snacked on some healthy fruit.

Bree was a little clueless about the whole point of the Easter Egg Hunt, but she was all smiles having her "boyfriends" over for a visit.

Hmmm....there must be some more eggs around here somewhere.....

The big boys take off up the stair, leaving Bree and Ethan in the dust.

Posing with their loot.

And now the good stuff! Bunny cake -- homemade and beautifully decorated by Laura. YUM!
