Easter 2011!

Well for this Easter we had a visitor, Kyle. He got to watch Gwen open her basket and toys. We hid and found the eggs later in the day though since he had to fly home mid-morning. We did however celebrate on that Sat. before by going to Stacks Pancake House in Hoboken, YUM YUM! And by going to the movie Rio in 3D (note Gwen's 3D glasses) since it was raining and our planned trip to Central Park had to be cancelled. I was sad but the day ended up being great anyways.

Gwen getting "ready" and picking out her shoes. I can't even walk in those heals very well and Gwen was rocking them!



Running on the streets of Hoboken in the rain, so cute! Makes us miss that area though, really bad actually.




Here is Gwen in her "Harry Potter" 3D glasses...she thought they were funny. She didn't wear them through the whole movie though and I am pretty surprised she didn't vomit because it was blurry when I took mine off. Oh well, the movie was good and she said she liked it!



This is the dumped out Easter basket of Gwen's. She really did make bank this Easter. I can imagine she won't be able to once we have more kids but for now, she seems to be a bit spoiled. Not to mention Easter came right after we got our taxes back, HA!





Jason and Kyle went into the city to the Guggenheim Musuem and Jason bought these for Gwen. They are Picaso magnets where you can make funny faces on each head with different sizes and shapes of eyes, nose and mouths. She LOVES them. (and so do I!)

Some catching up to do!

Here are some pictures to play catch up with our little one growing up. We often don't get time to update this blog and I wish I could more. So here are a few pics of Gwen from the last few months of her just being her :)

Gwen loves wearing Jason's headphones...even with Zombies on her head, she is still cute!





Grandma Judy sent Gwen this Spiderman "Mexican Wrestler" cape from Cabo, Gwen LOVES it and even took it to Daycare for show and tell. :)



One of Gwen's favorite movies is the Iron Giant. She likes to pretend she is finding him and uses the flashlight and usually some crazy getup like this where she has her pjs on, winter coat and a baby blankie for a hat.



Waiting for Kyle to get his Tattoo when he visited in NJ. I believe we were singing The Wheels on the Bus from the app I have on my phone...I love technology.





One of the dresses she got for her birthday - 3 months early! Her Sudo Aunt out here in NJ named Monica always buys things for events super early so Gwen got her dresses really early. This one looks like candyland to me. She loves it (note the goofy face)



My mom brought Gwen this hat too from Cabo, she loves it as well. Wears it all the time, inside and out!



A few quick ones from Easter. We have more and will post them soon but I had to get these in here because they are so cute! She enjoyed the Easter basket and really enjoyed finding the eggs. She counts all the time now so with each egg she found she counted. It was so fun seeing her get excited when spotting each egg almost like she had not seen any other eggs ever until that one...the same super excited reaction.

Visit to Alstede Farms

There is a farm near us called Alstede Farms. They have a bunch of stuff for kids to do and during the ripe fruit and pumpkin seasons you can go pick your own, anything. It's just nice to be outside and for the all day pass, it wasn't that much. Plus Gwen loves animals and running around like crazy so it's the best place to go. She got to ride her first horse. Actually when she was 1, her Aunt Cissy put her on a horse at her other Aunt Debbie's house but it was just quick so this time she actually rode the horse. I think it was harder for Jason and I because we had to leave her alone to do it! Same with riding the wagon train ride. You cannot go with them! Jason and I staggered along the inner fence though and waved at Gwen so she would not be scared. She is just getting so big now, I can't even handle it! We still climbed up the hay mountain with her though because she isn't the best with balance still. Enjoy the pics!
