Happy Birthday Beaner!


Lucy turned 2 while we were on our trip so we celebrated a week later.

She was happy to have a birthday cake, but didn't know how to blow out the candle.

Luckily, there was an older friend, cousin and brother to help out.

And a little cousin to help eat the cake!

Yum Yum!

Charlie and the girls getting a sugar fix.

Lucy, getting to be the center of attention...
Until Charlie got a hold of her new tiara, feather boa, and fairy wings.

More presents... Thanks everyone!

Around the house

My little kitchen helpers licking the beaters.

Lucy posing with Chloe. For some reason, she always rests her hand on Chloe's head for pictures.

Clover and me.

Lucy being a good big sister and giving Chloe a push on the swing.

She doesn't care that the swing already has batteries to do the job.

Chloe doesn't mind one bit!

Happy Easter!

After waking up in our Minneapolis hotel (after a long day/night of travel), Charlie discovered that the Easter bunny had visited during the night.

He left 2 chocolate bunnies and chocolate eggs hidden all over the suite. Lucy wanted to eat hers right away.

Chloe was a very good traveller. She could sleep anywhere and only fussed when she was hungry.

Lucy had her birthday on our travel day home so she got a few presents the next day when we were feeling a little more refreshed. Here, she's helping the housekeeping staff with her new "Bacuum".

Showing off her Hawaiian dolly.

Hawaii - Day 12

Another day, another nap on the beach...

Digging holes.

Someone woke up!

Happy to be at the beach!

Having lots of fun.

Charlie watching the dolphins. You can see our balcony on the second floor, right above the dolphins.

Lots of splashing!

A view of the Kona Pool.

Charlie getting out of the pool for the last time.

In front of the giant checkerboard where Charlie managed to beat both Mom and Dad.

Hawaii - Day 11

Playing at the Lagoon Beach at our Resort.
Building sand castles.

Lucy, quite interested in that bucket.

Cause it will fit nicely on her head!

Chloe, sleeping soundly while big sis and bro play.

All smiles!

Another boat ride.

Hawaii - Day 10

Another day at the pool.

Fearless Lucy loved jumping in and didn't need anyone to catch her!

We got some fun photos with the underwater camera.

Charlie relaxing on the float that managed to survive until our last day.

Chloe, still stuck in her car seat. We dipped her toes in the ocean once and she wasn't too impressed!
