Connor's Birthday!

For Connor's third birthday, we went to Chattanooga and went to the Tennessee Railroad Museum to see Thomas the Tank Engine! Connor really likes train rides, so I knew he would like to go for a ride. He likes Thomas okay, but he's not passionate about much besides his numbers and letters. And milk. We celebrated with Happah, Nana, Sani, Sassy, Leslie, Kevin, Lincoln, Ella, Matt, Jessica, Riley, and Catherine. There were a lot of free activities to do before and after the train ride, but Connor was almost exclusively interested in the bubble station. They had really big wands that could make huge bubbles and Connor LOVED it. Sarah had some bubbles at Mom's house and she spent all weekend blowing bubbles for him.
Sassy snuggles.
Bubbles!
A really big bubble!

Eamon caught some bubbles too!  He thought it was a blast.
So sweet.
Monday we went to lunch at Connors Steakhouse, firmly establishing our tradition of eating there for lunch in honor of Connor's birthday, 3 years running!
Britni, Parker, and Porter went with us. There was a really long wait for the dining room, but if we sat at the high tables in the bar area, we could be seated immediately. It made for a slightly awkward meal, but wasn't bad at all! We had a good lunch and Connor loves seeing his best friends.
There were not a lot of pictures to choose from...

Easter

Easter weekend was a lot of fun!  We were so happy that Myers and his family were able to come down and spend it with us at Mom's house.  

Saturday we went to lunch with Granmar and she and Eamon were cute together.


Myers, Laura, Lillian, Arthur, and Mom went to church on Saturday night and the Myers Carpenters looks very cute in their Easter clothes!
Cute cousins.
Easter morning all the kids got their Easter baskets.  Connor was thrilled to get a whole bag of marshmallows!  They have been excellent bribing tools lately.
He was in a better mood than this, promise.
Eamon is always a delight.
Baby bunny!
My cute boys together.
We took some hurried family pictures before I needed to put Eamon to sleep for his nap.  Unfortunately, he was so overstimulated that it took forever and I missed all of the Easter egg hunt.  But Patrick took a lot of pictures.
Happah, Nana, and the Runyans came over so we had 5 little munchkins hunting for eggs.
"Come on Dada, let's find Easter!"
 Mom got a ridiculous and delicious ice cream cake from Baskin Robbins.  It was so cute!
How handsome!
Paige, Will's girlfriend, was able to be with us and we had a lot of fun with her.  She is really great with kids and they all really like her!
