We had a wonderful Easter and hope that all of you did too. We got up early and had an Easter egg hunt for Allie's first Easter. She really liked it and held the basket for her dad to put the eggs in.
Next Joshua had a few presents to open from mom and dad. He was very excited about the contents of the packages. He got two of the new LEGO board games and a cool set from the new Prince of Persia series. Massive LEGO construction ensued almost immediately. I will try and get pictures as the projects get wrapped up.
We were all pretty worn out from yesterday so afterwards we were being just plain lazy. The kids were playing on the computer or with LEGO's and Renee and I were lounging in the living room with Allie. I got to be a grand dad pillow while she took a nap:) Upon waking up from her nap she raised her head and gave me a big beautiful smile. She is sitting up all by herself and is just a joy to have around.
Now for the rocket part. Brandon sent a present down for Joshua with Roxy. They got him a toy rocket. Okay, no big deal right. Except the rocket winds up being 7 feet tall. It is huge! So we take it up to the park and get it set up to launch. I am not really sure what is going to happen when Joshua presses the fire button so we all back up a few steps and start the countdown. He presses the button and the rocket takes off like, well like a rocket. It runs on water and compressed air and it goes up like the dickens. I was waiting for the air force to scramble fighter jets. Needless to say the boys were the hit of the park and every other kid was plainly envious of the three rocketeers. They had a blast, literally.
After our high flying fun we loaded up and headed over to Renee's parents for Easter dinner. The weather was so nice they decided to have dinner outside on their back patio. There was a wonderful breeze and the food was fantastic. I know I was stuffed and I am sure we will all sleep well tonight.
After dinner we re/celebrated Joshua's birthday with a rousing round of song and a re-lighting of the candle. After which the cake mysteriously disappeared into thin air ;)
