Easter Egg Hunt

The Easter Bunny showed up at the house this afternoon. Luckily, the weather was very warm and beautiful and since Addison doesn't like walking barefoot yet, we put on her bloomers and tennis shoes and went on an egg hunt. She really enjoyed putting the eggs in her basket. She also really likes knocking them together. She does that with the real eggs too, but they don't hold up as well.

"I know just what to do with this little guy."

"Listen to this cool sound, Mom!"

"I found ANOTHER one!"

"Look at all these eggs!"

"I will not sleep until ALL the easter eggs have been found!"

"OK, Mommy, take me to bed!"

Lawn Mowers are Fun!

Daddy showed me how to drive the lawn mower. I am really good at it!

It's my turn to steer!

Look Mom, one hand!

Afternoon at the Jaasma's Farm

With all the snow we had this winter, we spent quite a few days at the Jaasma's farm going sledding, skiing and playing both inside and out. On this particular day, there were all kinds of friends visiting the house. Addison had lots of fun playing and watching everyone.

Addison played with her cousin True, and her two friends Harper and Ellen. True has tons of great toys, and when they got tired of playing, Erin had yummy yogurt melts for everyone.

"Mmmm, thank you!"

Walkin...

Addison decided that right after her first birthday was the perfect time to start walking. She can take about four steps at a time, but as soon as she gets close to us she hurls herself to us. She'll be running around all over the place soon!

Addison Turns One!

Today is my birthday!! I am one year old!

So glad you came to see me Granddad!

Aunt Elizabeth, putting up streamers. There were streamers EVERYWHERE!

Mommy went overboard with food, so Uncle Pete was really great about helping out. The food was really yummy!

Tio Ricardo also helped with the streamers. He kept telling me about some guy named Danielson...

Aunt Katy was awesome with the streamers too!

OK, I am all dressed for my party!

Hey Aunt Katy, want to see my tongue?!? I just found it!

This train is so cool! I can't walk on my own yet, but I can go anywhere with this guy.

Hey True! Thanks for coming to the party!

That flash is bright!

I sure am having fun with my friends. Ellen, you have a balloon!!

Wow True! I can't wait until I am a big kid like you and can build towers too!

So you say this one goes on the top?

Lots of people came to see me today!

I had a lot of fun playing with my friends.

We played a bunch!

Thumbs up to a sweet birthday party!

My birthday theme was balloons and we had them all over!

I sure am glad Aunt Liz and Uncle Rick came to see me.

Hey Grandad and Grandma!

Alright Dad, let's get this party started!

Happy Birthday to ME!

Hmmm, what is in Mommy's hand?... I don't know about this...

Great singing everyone!!

You say this is called icing? I don't know, Daddy... I guess I will taste it.

It's a little goopy...

Here Daddy, you better taste it for me!

Wait a second, do I taste bananas?!? I love bananas!

I could get used to this!

Uncle Ty, True should really have a cupcake too!

Adrenaline Junkie

Addison's cousin True was nice enough to loan us his car push toy. She absolutely loves to ride around on it and the faster, the better!

Ho Ho Ho!

Here is our recap of the holidays.

Addison received all kinds of great gifts for Christmas. She was so excited about the holidays that she dressed up as Santa Claus and handed out presents to everyone!

Wow! Grandma and Grandpa Hopkins picked out this really cool Alphabet Train! Addison likes to dance when it starts singing the alphabet.

Ho! Ho! Ho! Thanks for the awesome Santa costume Annie!

Addison and Nunzio are SO BIG!
