Easter Sunday

The sun was shining down on us this Easter Sunday.  Blue skies and warm weather was welcomed for the second Sunday in a row.  Our morning started out with hunting for baskets.  Hollyn, with the help of Colton, found her basket in her bouncer.  Colton was also more than happy to help Hollyn explore what the Easter Bunny left her.

Eggs filled with puffs!

The Easter Bunny hid Colton's basket under the dining room table.  

Colton was THRILLED to see big Buzz Lightyear

Our little bunny on her 1st Easter

After a morning at home we traveled to CC and Papa's for Easter brunch.

My mom and Mike hosted family brunch.  There were two people missing this year, Kristen and Adam were at Mercy Hospital awaiting the arrival of their son.

This is the very last picture taken of Jess and Brad before becoming Grandparents!

Little did any of us know little Caleb would be arriving within the hour.

Colton found his basket!

Elizabeth found hers too!

And then the fireman came out...

CC and her two (Hollyn was napping so missed out on the picture)

Time for an egg hunt

I found it!

Hollyn woke up in time to open up her basket

Welcome Caleb Micha Batt

Hollyn and Colton can't wait to meet their second cousin!

Christmas Day 2012

After arriving home from Yamma and Bob Bob's, Colton took a long nap.  After waking up he  showed his new Magna Doodle to Grandpa G and Mimi. 

Jason and Grandpa are putting the power wheels together

"Daddy, I am having a good time just spinning the wheel!"

If Colton only knew it will move on it's own once the battery is fully charged... 

he is rocking it back and forth to get it to move.

Elizabeth all dressed up and ready to open presents.  

Colton is napping again so she has everyone's attention.

Me and my hubby

A new wagon to ride!

Grandma Mike's Prime Rib -- extra special Christmas dinner.

Post nap - post bath - Colton is ready to open his presents. 

The world traveler is ready for Aruba with his new luggage from Grandma CC & Grandpa Mike!

Aunt Laura, Uncle Jon, and Elizabeth gave Colton a napping set for school.  Colton immediately covered himself up with Mickey and said "ni - ni" -- a new phrase! 

Who works on Christmas?

Grandpa G and Mimi gave Colton his own computer so he no longer has to share Grandpa's laptop

Jammie time for Elizabeth too

You do it like this -- the mouse goes on the screen

No, Elizabeth, look here -- not at my Daddy

See, all done -- it's that easy. I'm a computer pro.

The next day, after the battery was fully charged, Colton took his new ride for a spin...
