Birthday-Passover-Easter Weekend in Spokane

I got to spend a fun filled weekend with all of my cousins, aunties, uncles, and papa celebrating my first birthday, passover, and easter.  It was a great time!
 I had a second birthday party with my cousins.  We kept the rodeo theme going and kicked things off with a coloring contest.
 I won.
 Just kidding.  Look at all the wonderful pictures!
 I loved all of my gifts and especially liked sitting on Papa's lap to open my beautiful sun dress.
 After my party, things got serious.  Daddy started getting things ready for Passover dinner.... and Papa was getting a little concerned.
 Daddy seems a little unsure of himself
 Yep, that's what I thought.  Papa had to step in and save the day!
 Papa couldn't leave Daddy's side
 Never seen Papa so disappointed
We finally made it - brisket and manischewitz for all!
 Matzo ball soup was a hit
 And to mommy's delight, I too love gefilte fish
 Baby Grace seemed to enjoy her first Passover dinner too
 We washed down dinner with a beautiful birthday cake from Papa
 All my cousins help me blow out the candle
 This is delicious - thanks Papa!
 Thanks Auntie Dawn and Uncle Tyler for helping me polish off my cake
 Easter morning!  I think I am still a little groggy from yesterday's celebration.
 What's this... are these from the Easter bunny or from Daddy?
 Ummm... chocolate....
 It's even better without the foil... chocolate for breakfast!!!!
 Wow, what is this green stuff?  I think they call it grass.  And what is that glow?  I think they call it sun.  I've never seen either in North Bend!
 This round thing matches me.
 It was fun hanging out with my cousins and meeting baby Grace
 Having fun with Ryan

Thanks for a great weekend everyone!  I love you :)
