Happy Easter!! Yesterday we celebrated Easter with dinner and another egg hunt at Nana and Buddy's house. The kids had so much fun finding eggs filled with candy. After we got them good and sugared up we gave them over to Buddy to take them putting on the green behind their house. The boys are good little golfers.....Lilly had more fun chasing the dog everywhere! She was so worn out....good thing because that was her first night in her "big girl bed" and she slept like a rock.

On Sunday we went to Des Moines for Iggy's final step in his naturalization process....Citizenship!! He had an interview and testing appointment on Monday, which he passed with flying colors! Then there was a small ceremony where he repeated his oath and was sworn in as a U.S. citizen. Yay!! Nine years and ten thousand dollars later and all they give you is a little American flag on your way out. In all seriousness, this is a huge accomplishment and we are so proud of him. Thank you Mom and Dad, Stacey, Amanda, for the congrats gifts and food!!
Lilly had a ball playing in the pool (around the pool) with Daddy at the hotel. And here she is snug as a bug.

Okay, just a few more pics. The green tutu was a gift from Aunt Sue...She made it and matching flip-flops! (although I wouldn't recommend baking cookies in a tutu like Lilly is doing here)

This morning we went to an Easter Egg Hunt at a local church. Tate found a "Golden Egg" and got a special surprise. I love this toothy grin:)

Today was a day filled with fun! Lilly is now 2, and though I can't hardly believe how fast it's gone, these past two years have been the best years of my life. I thank God for our Lilly and for the wonderful family and friends that surround us. Thank you to each and every one of you.
Here are some pics from today and a few from last night....The painted vanity was a surprise from Nana Pam. Lilly loves it, thinks it's a desk for coloring:) The bikini is from Nana Ann...how cute! And the huge cupcake and smaller cupcakes were made by Stacey...she's a fantastic baker...Thanks Aunt Stace!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LILLY!!!!!!!!!!

Lilly is currently practicing her birthday routine. So far so good. Now we are trying to figure out how to keep her fingers out of the frosting!!!

Heffner

We are raising a little Heffner apparently. Lately, the only thing she wants to wear is her robe. Well, she is the boss.
