Spring time in Boston...

Last weekend was gorgeous! We were outside all day on Saturday exploring Boston...our 1st stop was the playground.

Sam loved the clubhouse!

Next stop was Boston Common and the carousel - Sam went on twice, once with mommy and then with daddy!

Weeeeeeeeee!

A great view of the city...right behind us!

Sam got a balloon from some new friends he made :)

We ended our day in the Boston Garden with an ice cream cone...one that Sam would not share with his parents...stinker!

Happy Birthday, Craig!

On April 5th we celebrated Craig's 29th Birthday! It was a great day that ended with delicious pink cake :) I let Sam pick out the kind of cake we were going to make for Daddy's birthday - he chose white cake with pink frosting, hahaha! I tried to encourage chocolate or vanilla frosting but he was VERY insistant on the pink so I gave in :) I had to post this picture of the birthday boy and his very masculine cake!
Happy Birthday, Craig...we love you!

2010 Easter Egg Hunt

Sam got so excited to find 2 eggs at once he fell over!

Quick break to say hello to his shadow - his new favorite game!

Quickly snapped this shot as Sam was running off to the next spot to look for more eggs.

Inspecting the loot :)

Not giving up until all eggs are found!


On Easter Sunday we had an Easter Egg hunt for all of the children staying at The Yawkey Family Inn. Since we live here (and I organized it) Sam participated too - and he loved every minute of it! He opened each egg to sneek a peek at what was inside before putting them into his Easter bag...very curious :) It was a gorgeous morning for an egg hunt and all of the kids had a great time!

Preparing for the Easter Bunny!

(I know, I know...I'm a little behind on my blogs! But I feel like with all of the March/April birthdays and then Easter I have an excuse, right?)
A sneek peek of the final product!

Setting up and getting started...Sam could hardly contain himself!

Busy boy!

Sam loved this activity - so much different from coloring eggs last year! He insisted on doing everything all by himself...and he did a great job :)

Hello 2!

Happy Birthday to our little Sam! He turned 2 years old on March 26th. We had a great day with Sam, despite the rainy weather!

While Daddy was at work, Grandma Jane and I took Sam to his favorite toy store and then out for birthday lunch at the Cheesecake Factory.

Staring out with bread and butter and then onto grilled cheese and french fries, yum!

Sam's favorite food is pizza so he helped Grandma Jane make homemade pizza dough - he loved helping AND making a mess!

So happy to be with our little boy on his special day!

Vroom, vroom! A quilt of the U.S. from Grandma Jane and cars - he can drive all over the country now!

A Dr. Seuss book from Grandpa Bruce!

A new Tee Ball set :)

Sam's 1st bike! We are all set for Spring :)

mmm, birthday cake!

Making his wish? Or thinking about playing with fire?

Enjoying every minute of this :) The perfect way to end a birthday!
