April 24, 2011: Turner Easter Celebration & Bday Extravaganza!

As life gets busier, we've now decided to combine as many birthdays as possible into one family get-together because it's just hard to find days that work for everyone! April/May are especially busy months in both families and, on my side of the family, we celebrate Jaydon's, Eathan's, Jon's and my birthday at our Easter celebration.

We kept it low key this year with hamburgers and hot dogs and had a great time together despite the unpleasant weather.

Mom really wanted to do an Easter Egg hunt outside but no such luck even though it was gorgeous the day before. I ended up hiding them inside and used the opportunity to snap a quick pick of the 'hunter gatherers' before they headed off on their candy adventure.



Here are a few of Ben and some of our family :) I love the one of Ben and Jaydon! He looks up to him so much and it shows all over his face :) Just before I took the picture, I heard Jaydon say 'criss cross applesauce' and Ben followed suit! It's so nice that his older cousins play so well with him and awesome that he has cousins his age as well.



Jon had a great time opening his presents at the party and got an awesome card from Laura that played the 'Monday Night Football' theme (which Ben is pretending to read in the photo above) and some 80's themed candies. Thanks everyone for the great gifts. We were very blessed and will enjoy them all!



Jacob wasn't too sure what to make of the festivities as it could get pretty loud in our house with all of those boys (especially when you consider the extra candy consumed!) but, as usual, he mostly just hung out, ate and smiled. Gotta love his easy-going nature!



This was Derek and Laura's 3rd time seeing Jacob so I had to get some photos of Aunty Laura :)



At the end of the night we were pretty tired but we were, once again, thankful for the short, 2 minute commute, down the stairs to our place! So convenient :)

Happy Easter to the Turners', Steeves', Powells' & Miyazaki's!
