EASTER 2009

Happy Easter!
We had 2 successful Easter Egg Hunts this year. Benson was a pro, and Packer was a natural. He loves putting things into buckets and baskets. However, once Packer realized there was candy inside the eggs, the Hunt became less interesting and eating the candy became the goal. They both had a lot of fun though, as you can tell!

Here they are at Grandma Atkin's house.

Here they are at the Bohman's House for the the Lloyd Easter Egg Hunt. We love Easter!

Playtime

Benson & Packer love this marble run play set that Benson got for his Birthday. Here they are setting up some tracks for the marbles to fly through. Usually Mommy has to help to make it work... but they love setting it up anyway!

Lazy Mornings

I don't know about anyone else, but for us, some mornings are just lazy. This particular morning we lounged around in our jammies, or comfy clothes and watch a little boob-tube. Packer LOVES picking on poor Benson. Yes, Packer is the younger one. Yes, they both look happy in the picture, but a few seconds later Benson was whining and Packer was pinning him to the floor.

My two little buddies: Packer & Benson, cuddling together watching Curious George on PBS TV. Television... a wonderful babysitter if you need to take a quick shower, clean up breakfast... or on Lazy Mornings - make breakfast.

Auntie Morgan's Wedding

Here are a few pictures from Aunt Morgan's wedding reception. Everyone is all dressed up in their fancy clothes, looking quite swish!Daddy and Packer Hanging out together. Handsome boys!

Here is Haylee, Bonnie, and Benson hanging out at one of the tables before the reception started.

Valentines Day

This year for Valentines Day, we helped decorate heart shaped cookies for our Daddy. We ate a couple! Happy Valentines Day!

Christmas Morning

And yes, Benson & Packer both received matching PJ's from Santa's elves the night before Christmas. Aren't they adorable?!

Packer loved the Christmas goodies, and Benson loved opening presents -- In fact, he opened almost everyone's presents that morning. It was so much fun!

Benson: "Where is Santa?"

Dad: "He came and left the presents, then he had to go!"

Benson: "But I didn't see him! He's so sneaky!"
