The McGuire Family: Birthdays and Bunnies

This year Jack's birthday actually landed on Easter Sunday. Baskets and birthday presents on the same day?!?!?!?!

My parents got in on Sat so we tried to break up the festivities by doing birthday Sat night. For MONTHS Jack has been telling us about what he wants for his birthday - "the Lego Mack Truck" and "the only Mack that William has." William is a boy in his class that brought this "dream" Mack Truck to school for show and tell one day. Amazingly, the nice people at Toys R Us have no idea which Mack this is based on Jack's detailed description of "it's the only real Mack from the movie Cars." Lucky for us, Jack found a picture of it online...

Opening Guido and Luigi from Cars

"Wait - could it be???"

"Ahhh, it's the only Mack that William has!"

"OH MY GOSH!"

"I can't believe I got the only Mack that William has"

(these are the actual direct quotes)

Some books to enjoy.

And last but not least.... the Lego Mack.

Here are some random shots of Nate to mix this up a bit:

I have never met a child who likes to brush his teeth as much as Nate.

Easter morning the bunny delivered.

Nate got all the ducky eggs and did a decent job getting them into his basket.

Getting some help from Auntie TC.

That afternoon we went to Rick and Cathy's for Easter dinner.

A rainbow perfect for Easter!

Nate's learning everything from his big brother... including how not to share... should have seen that one coming Jack.

"Higher Gramma Jean."

Chasin' chickens

Oh yeah - and we did this...

Yep - I got a gun and yep, I got my mom and sister to shoot it.

Turns out - TC is a sharp shooter. Watch out!

In other news - that fabulous day April Fools came again. This year I had a spontaneous inspiration when Ryan called to tell me he was on his way to a dentist appointment....
