Easter and Tiernan's Birthday

Look at me, I'm on a roll updating the blog! 
This last weekend we got to celebrate two special things: Tiernan's birthday on Saturday and Easter on Sunday.  This weekend was a little bit bittersweet for me.  Easter weekend was also the weekend we lost our third baby, so I find it especially ironic that this year we celebrated Tiernan's fifth birthday the same weekend as Easter.  Ironic is probably not the right word at all-I'm not sure which word I'm looking for....
I keep wondering if I'll ever completely "get over" the loss of our tiny babies.  I sort of hope not-in a weird way I think I'd feel so guilty if I did.  I hope one day I get to kiss and hug those babes in heaven!
Anywho...these pictures are all out of order.  Sorry-once again I'm being too lazy to re-order them.  I absolutely cannot believe that Tiernan is five and will be starting kindergarten in the fall!  That is crazy!  It has gone by soooo fast!  What every mom says is true....
 
Here we are opening presents at our house.  He has been really self-conscious about smiling for pictures lately.  What's that all about?  Do you like the trash bag wrapping paper?  Classy, classy


We also got him a "big boy" bike without training wheels.  He was so proud to have a mountain bike like Daddy.  Let the fun begin! 

Yes, we are that family that lets their kids ride around in their pajamas and flip-flops.  I told you we are classy like that.

Hunting for Easter eggs.  This was the first time Cameron got to do this and sort of understood what was going on.  Last year we were a little pre-occupied by two tiny people to do anything about Easter.


Our attempt to get their picture.  I love that Tyler is the only one paying attention.

Oh my goodness, aren't they the cutest? 

Dyeing Easter eggs at our house
Tiernan was so cute because all day long he kept checking on his eggs and carrying them around the house with him wherever he went.  I'm still a little concerned in a few weeks we're going to start smelling a random rotten egg that got lost. 

Big five year old birthday boy!

Love Gary's face!

He did so good dyeing eggs.  I was concerned we'd have to throw out his clothes.  But he was so careful and only broke one egg.
