Easter Weekend

We had a very busy and fun Easter weekend.  It started Thursday afternoon with an Easter Egg Hunt together with Blaise's buddy Jonah.  They had a great time running around looking for eggs.  Thanks to my mom for sending us fillable eggs. :)

Blaise spent time playing with his new Winnie the Pooh legos, making breakfast with Daddy and coloring eggs.

Happy Easter

Happy Easter!

(more to come, I promise)

Merry Gigglement

Blaise got some Lego Duplo "fire" for Christmas and our friend Jörg kept "burning" his finger on the campfire. Blaise then found it necessary for all of us to burn ourselves.  :)  Thanks to Christian for this clip!

Boxing Day

Okay, so we don't really have "Boxing Day," but it sounds good.  We do celebrate the day after Christmas, known as the "2nd Christmas Day" - meaning the 2nd day after the 24th. 

We celebrated at Jan's sister's with the extended family.  The matriarch of their family was there, Noemi's oldest sister, visiting from Prague along with good friends.  It was a merry time.

Blaise liked the "auto" ornament

Hmm, some of these have to be for me!

Blaise enjoyed playing with the nativity

Lady Kate

Blaise really enjoyed playing with his new girlfriend

He kept taking her hand and leading her over to the nativity

Christmas Day

Christmas Morning we leisurely spent at home.  The advantage to being multicultural is that you receive a visit from the Christkind AND Santa Claus :)  Santa Claus knew that Blaise would enjoy his own play kitchen since he likes to mimic Daddy.  My mom stocked the kitchen with new finds as well as many of my old supplies.  Keeping with Scofield Santa tradition, we didn't wrap these presents.  It is easier for us and we use less wrapping paper this way!

I liked this shot of Kate - so happy!

Blaise immediately started creating his menu

Cheers!

Lego Duplo was a big hit this year
