Happy 4th!

Hope everyone had a safe and happy Independence Day!

We went over to the hub's aunt's house where fireworks are legal.  Eggy had so much fun, running around, playing with her aunties (cousins?  I guess the technical term is first cousins once removed), and eating popsicles.

Eggy and O are almost 4 months apart.  Cute, no?  Don't let the above picture fool you.  They look like they're BFFs but Eggy must still be upset about the smackdown last year.  Even though O was quite affectionate and gave Eggy lots of hugs, Eggy wasn't ready to forgive.  And when O tried to give Eggy a kiss, Eggy leaned away.

  I guess Eggy had a good reason to be wary though because this picture?  

This is right before O punked Eggy and forced her out of the car.  Not only that, she also stole Eggy's corn on the cob that Eggy appah was feeding her.  

Anyway, Eggy loved the fireworks.  It was the first year where she was actually aware of all the excitement.  And she wasn't scared of the loud noises either.  Maybe because she was used to seeing the fireworks at Disneyland?  

It wasn't enough that Eggy was clapping.  She made sure everyone around her would clap too:  me, her dad, GooGoo.  Bossy.  

We didn't end up staying till the end.  Once the tree caught fire, it was time to go!  (It was a very very small fire.  But then I found out the neighbor's house really caught on fire.  Yikes!)  Plus, Eggy was getting tired and she even said she wanted to go home.  

And when she woke up this morning, the first thing she talked about were the fireworks and the "sprinklers" (sparklers).  

Easter

Hope everyone had a happy Easter!  We went over to the hubby's aunt's house yesterday.  There's always a ton of kids over there so we knew it'd be a fun time.  There was an egg and spoon race, a water balloon toss, Easter egg decorating, an Easter egg hunt, and musical chairs.

Eggy, being so young, couldn't participate in a lot of the stuff but I think she still had fun.

Do you like her socks-with-sandals look?  What?!  It was colder than we thought.  And being bad parents, we didn't even have a jacket for her.  We had to borrow one from one of Eggy Appah's cousins.

Watching all the action from the best seat in the house

Now see this girl?  She's only two years old but she's so big!  She's almost as tall as the other girls twice her age. 

She's Eggy Appah's cousin's daughter (his second cousin?).  She cracks my shit up.  

She was so funny and cute.  Everytime a camera was pointed in her direction, she'd pose and smile.   

She loved her some Eggy too.  Or just babies in general, I think.  She kept coming over to hug Eggy and she'd ask if she could carry her.  Here she is, putting Eggy in a chokehold trying to pick her up.  Haha, look at my face in the background.

Eggy also caught up with Baby/Auntie O again, looking for a rematch from last Sunday.

Sigh, I hope Eggy learns to play nice as she gets older.  

Anyway, we all had a lot of fun.  Eggy was KNOCKED OUT on the way home from all the excitement.  

And I didn't even feel yesterday's earthquake.
