Happy Easter and Todd's First Year

Happy Easter! We've had a fun-filled day celebrating the resurrection of our Christ and hosting a party for Mr. Todd. The kids got an early jump on Easter festivities by getting to open a special Easter gift sent to them from Mimi and Grandpa. Both the kids LOVE their Webkinz and Hayley took the liberty of claiming the horse for herself and naming both of the animals. The horse is named Pegasus and the frog is named Ribs... which I'm assuming is a take on ribbet. Because Froggie is already taken by one of her animals.
Todd dressed in his safari wear for the occasion.
And got a little concerned during the Happy Birthday song that genetic musical talents may have already doomed his singing career.
But a glance at his new, white pony made him quickly forget singing and reminded him of his true calling. Todd? He's born to be a cowboy!

Thank you to all of our family for the special gifts and for celebrating with us!

When Hayley celebrated her first birthday, I created a DVD slideshow to summarize the memories of our first year with her. As much as I'd like to, I don't scrapbook, so we've really enjoyed having the video to occasionally watch to remember our first moments with our little girl.

In honor of Todd's first birthday, I also created a slideshow for him. We showed this to the attendees of Todd's party today, which is why I didn't want to post the link until now. It's ten minutes long, but I know we have some relatives out there that would enjoy seeing this. Be sure your speakers are on as it is set to music!

AHHHHHHH! That is SUCH a cute video. What a fabulous alternative to scrapbooks/photo albums.

Ok, I have so many questions I'd like to pick your brain on. Can I call you sometime to see how you made that?
