trying to decided what to get a one year old girl for a birthday present, since all we have are boys. You wouldn't think it would be that hard, but it was. We decided, finally, that all kids love balls, so we got Penny a big purple bouncy ball. Lincoln was pretty disappointed that it wasn't his. But I think Penny will really like it, especially when she gets a little bigger. (Right now it's about as big as she is.) 
We went to Penny's party at her Grandma and Grandpa White's house. For lunch we had polish dogs and sauerkraut. YUM! But Ivan didn't really like it later in the day. :( Emily also made these really yummy cupcakes with homemade icing and strawberries on top. They were delicious. It was fun to watch Penny smear her frosting all over her. Somehow I didn't get a picture of it though. While Penny was opening her presents, Lincoln had fun playing with the toys she'd already opened. Especially her school
bus, and her wooden cars. Penny was a good sport about it though. Lincoln also had fun trying to play the kazoo, and riding the bouncing horse. We had a lot of fun watching him. His face cracks me up in this picture.

had the important job of coloring on the eggs with crayons while everyone else dyed them. I thought this was a brilliant idea on my part, because then he still got to help and be in on the action, but he didn't have to go near the dye. Here is a picture of Papa Kerry helping Lincoln color on the eggs, since he's not a real big fan of eggs. And another picture of Aaron, Tanner, and Gramma Tam dying the eggs.

The eggs turned out lovely, and (more importantly) we made it through three dozen eggs without spilling any of the dye. That is an accomplishment. Much to Kerry's dismay, Mom and Kerry took the eggs back with them to Hooper, where there will be a giant egg hunt tomorrow with all the kids who are coming up. It
should be a blast. Happy Birthday Penny and Happy Easter (tomorrow) everyone!
