Easter Egg Hunt
Fun Easter egg hunt! Graham caught on quick and demanded "open, open, open" once he realized there were treats inside each egg. Andrew was pleased as ever to amass more treats and he gallantly let Graham have all the easy eggs in the middle of the lawn.
And here is a little video of the action:

Back to the Children's Museum
Now that Graham can walk more reliably, we ventured back to the children's museum. Andrew was happy to return and Graham had fun, but he was surprisingly distressed by various parts of the experience.
For example, Graham loves vehicles of all kinds, but in the enormous cars/trucks/buses area, the only thing he really wanted to do was jump into an enclosed ball pit that is used for digging with mechanical excavators (i.e., kids don't play in the ball pit). So Graham mostly ignored the cars and clawed at the plexi-glass, pining for the balls. But we did manage to get this shot:
Then we got into the supermarket area. I take Graham grocery shopping with me every week, so one might think he would love to push a cart around and pretend to shop. But instead, he did what he does every week in the real grocery store: whines and begs for crackers.
But despite these snafus, he had fun at his first trip to the museum. Here he is playing on a mechanical boat with a stuffed owl.

He was quite pleased with himself when he discovered what happens when you hit the "Push" button.

Puzzle Posing
Andrew and I completed a Disney Planes floor puzzle tonight, and then he was inspired to pose like the little boy on the box.
Snow play
Graham suiting up for the first time.
Once outside, Graham was a bit disconcerted by the snow. I managed to get a smile for this photo op...
....but then he was happier on the driveway.
And he also had fun in his toy car after Andrew scraped it off for him.

Andrew Turns 5
Andrew kicked off his 5th birthday with a pancake cake.
I caught the candle mid-blow!
Graham stuffing his face with pancakes.
Then we sent him off on a treasure hunt (family tradition) to find a present too big to wrap.
The present was a Lego table. Legos were definitely the hit of birthday/Christmas.
Later in the day, we took Andrew and two of his friends bowling, then everyone came back to our house for pizza and Spiderman cake.
