Good Friday--and it was!

Good Friday was a pretty wonderful day--not only did we get to celebrate that our Savior died for our sins, but it was also Brynn's birthday! Layne had the day off already, so I decided to take the day off too--we just had an in-service day--so no sub plans--even better!
Brynn woke up to find a few more presents to unwrap, which she quickly did!

The day before, she took treats to our daycare--both of our kids LOVE brownies--so we took Brownies and juice and everyone was very happy!

After Brynn upwrapped her presents--we headed to Morganville to celebrate birthdays and Good Friday with the Parry side of the family! Aunt Janell and Uncle Jake came back for Easter and Jake's parents also came up with them for a visit as well!

Caden got to open presents from Aunt Nell and Uncle Jake first and he was sure excited to get a remote control car!

Then it was Brynn's turn.

New pretty shoes! She also got a beautiful pink tutu that you will get to see soon--she wore it to go Easter egg hunting--I had to bribe her with candy to wear it--I think it was itchy for her, but us adults think it is the cutest thing ever!

Time for our DQ birthday cake--I think EVERYONE enjoyed that!

Brynn and her Godparents

Uncle David decided to add some music into the kid's life with an electric toy piano.
David also played the guitar for Kristi and I as we laid outside and soaked up the sun and later played the guitar for Brynn while she played on the sofa beside him--Miss Brynn thinks Uncle David is pretty cool right now!

Then came time for the biggest surprise! Aunt Kristi is a Craigslist shopper and she decided to take a break from buying furniture for herself and looked at powerwheels for her niece and nephew instead. She found a good deal in Eudora, KS and made this boy VERY happy! Brynn also likes the gator and loves riding along as Caden drives!

Caden is checking out the steering wheel and the gas petal.

Big Thank You hug to Aunt Kristi--the kids are driving it almost every day and still LOVE it after more than 2 weeks!

Taking Brynn for a drive--2 big grins!

Friday night Brynn and Caden sat out their Easter baskets in case the Easter Bunny came early to Grandma Parry's house-- and it did.

Checking out their Easter goodies on Sat. morning.

Time for the Parry farm Easter Egg hunt that the Easter bunny had left before the big town
Easter Egg hunt!

Caden decided to use the Gator to pick up his Easter Eggs--he drove about 2 feet--stopped and picked up an egg--then drove 2 feet and got out and picked up another egg--it would have been so much faster to run and pick them up--but this was pretty funny to watch!

Aunt Nell helping Brynn open her eggs to find her treasures inside.

Kristi and Caden checking out all his treasures as well.

Earlier in the week, Caden and Brynn dyed Easter eggs at daycare--I am so glad they got to do that with Val as we did not get to that this year!
Here are their pretty eggs!

Layne took Brynn to her 2 year check-up--she weighs 26 lbs and is in the 40th percentile for weight and is 33 and 3/4 inches tall and in the 50th percentile--so weighs a pound less than Caden did but is an inch taller than he was at 2 so it will be interesting to see where life takes these two!
Layne also changed Brynn's bed into a toddler bed this past weekend--wow she is growing up fast! She loves climbing in and out of her "new" bed and did a great job staying in it throughout the night--just fell out once during naptime! She has proudly shown both grandparents her new bed as well and has put many of her stuffed animals in bed with her!
Happy birthday Miss Brynn--you make us smile and laugh every day and give great hugs--we love you!
