Happy 2nd Birthday, Link and Happy Easter to all!

Grandpa Tulett really got us into the Easter spirit by dressing up like the Easter Bunny. Look how excited he is to be wearing these ears!

We had a fun little friend/family birthday party with an Easter theme. Link was pretty grumpy that day, but all of the other kids seemed to have a great time!

We had a little Easter egg hunt for the kiddos, and it happened to be the ONLY nice day that week. Lucky us!

Brenadan found the golden egg!

Link got pretty excited when he discovered that there was CANDY inside the egg. This boy is a little bit of a sugar-holic like his daddy.

All of the kiddos enjoying the loot!

It was kind of windy that day, so we got his candles to stay lit for approximately six seconds, but at least he kept the ears on...and had a huge smile on his face...ish.

Cupcake time!

So, I bought cupcakes this year instead of making a cake due to all of the activity, AND due to the fact that I am not a great cake maker, so why stress myself out? I still felt like kind of a bad mom though...

Linkers got some great gifts from all of his cute friends. Thanks everyone!

The next day they had a city-sponsored egg hunt that we took the boys to, and it was sort of a disaster. There were a million people there, and they had each age group roped off and asked all of the parents to let the kids pick up the eggs, so naturally as soon as they said "Go!" all of the parents in the 1-2 year section that Link was in started shoveling eggs into their kids baskets. Link didn't get ANY eggs. He did find one piece of candy that fell out of an egg though. Lucky boy! After the 30 second hunt they announced that any kids that didn't get eggs could come over to the pavilion and get a few, but the parents in THAT line were pushing and shoving too. It was INSANE. I couldn't believe what some ADULTS would do for free candy. Yikes!

We had Easter dinner (made by yours truly!) Saturday night because Greg and his family were leaving on Sunday, and I gave the boys their Easter baskets and matching outfits (of course!) that day as well.

a little more candy can't hurt either...

As a fun side note, we took Link for his two year check-up and here are his stats:

Weight: 23 lbs-3rd %

height: can't remember-15th%

Still just a little guy, but he has literally EXPLODED with talking in the last few weeks. I was starting to get a little worried because he didn't say much of anything for the longest time, but now he sings songs, reads book with me, repeats everything I say and has even started asking for things he needs. Hallelujah! Just in time for baby brother to come!
