Col Sanders

After the easter egg hunt, we went to KFC and Christian made friends with Col Sanders. Then we went to the new carousel in this outdoor shopping center nearby. We nicknamed it the death carousel because it went pretty fast for little kids.

Easter Egg Hunt

The embassy had their easter egg hunt yesterday and Christian was thoroughly disgusted with the Easter Bunny, but did participate in the hunt. He collected about 6 eggs and then decided to sit down in the parking lot and open them all and proceed to give them away to his little friend, Julianna. A good time was had by all.

Home birthday celebration

We couldn't get Christian to wear a party hat and he didn't want the candle on his piece of cake but he did pose for the picture so I was happy. Dixie got in on the fun too!

2nd birthday

Well, we had Christian's second birthday. They do birthday's at school here, which was really nice. We brought a cake, pinata, and all the decorations. He was actually very fussy the whole time, but the other kids loved the pinata and he enjoyed hitting it too. However, since they are all 2 or 3 years old, it would have taken a year if we had waited for them to destroy it so eventually Elena, his teacher, tore it open and all the kids came running to the candy. They were so cute! We may try to get a better birthday picture tonight with mom, dad, and birthday boy if he is less fussy.

Mardi Gras Party

I'm in the back row, second from the right. The Marine's threw a Mardi Gras party that was a lot of fun. The marine detachment has 7 guys that are assigned to protect the embassy and they all live together in sort of a frat house. They throw parties from time to time to raise money for the Marine Ball.

Photos

I work with a lady whose husband is a local photographer and she asked me to pose for some photos so they could put them on their website. They took like 500 pics but these are a few of the ones they liked best.

Nightly routine

Bryan reads Christian a story every night. Its part of his nightly routine. So sweet!
