New Mexico!
We spent this weekend in New Mexico with Lacy, Erik, Nadia and Mason! We had a fantastic time — they were amazing hosts! We visited the Albuquerque Zoo, the aquarium, and the botanical gardens. We had a great time hanging out and you loved playing with the kiddos. It’s a wonderful thing to reconnect with old friends!
You were great on the plane — except on the way home when you were leaning your head on my shoulder and I did not see you reach over and start twirling the bangs of the lady sitting next to us who was sleeping! You are quite a hair twirler! Luckly, she did not move and it went unnoticed! Dad and I were laughing pretty hard, though!
Love you,
Mama

Crafting with Nana
Dear Hayden,
Nana is a very crafty lady. She makes all kinds of things! You find this very fascinating — you love to wander into her bead room and start touching things and you like exploring her work area in the garage. I think you are going to love creating things with her as you grow older! Here is a picture of you working with her in the workshop!
Love you,
Mama
Easter Morning
Dear Hayden,
We’ve had a great Easter morning! We ate resurrection buns (a cinnamon roll that is completely empty inside!), you had a little egg hunt and you found the basket that the sneaky Easter Bunny left for you! It’s fun watching you have a great time!
Love you,
Mama

Dear Hayden,
Last year, you loved the Easter Bunny:
This year, not so much:
Maybe next year!
Love you,
Mama
Cleaning
Dear Hayden,
Lately, you LOVE cleaning. You like to pretend to wipe everything down with a paper towel, tissue or baby wipe and you get really excited when you get your hands on a mop or broom of any kind. You also like to wipe the food around on your plate or tray, kind of like you are cleaning it up, even though this usually makes a much bigger mess! Here are some pictures of all of this — best of all is your big smile when you have completed a cleaning spree — you step back, take a look and smile big at how well you clean everything! You are cracking us up!
Love you,
Mama
