My nephew, Holden became a card carrying 3 yr old yesterday. We celebrated his 3rd on Saturday at my sister's house in Louisiana. It was my first time back since last year for his second birthday. He's grown a few inches, built up his vocabulary, and added to the bevy of toys that will somehow be contained by my sister's well decorated (and sizable) suburban house. I know Meredith will read this and be a bit miffed perhaps, but heavens, how can one kid have so many toys??? My nephew is sweet to the core, but I don't know how I'd manage not turning into the Paris Hilton of 3 yr olds with so many toy cars/DVDs/slides/trampolines....
We had a good time - family conflicts aside. Heck, I'm just being honest. My sister says she doesn't read my blog anyway. Hmmmmm? Holden's favorite cartoon du jour is Scooby Doo. He's going to be so cool when he grows up!!! Meredith prohibits the viewing of any cartoons containing violence, so he sticks to the more retro kid friendly programs.
Here are some photos.
Holden also got an Iguana. Yet to be named, but potentially, he could be: Mr. Doo Doo, Ted (my fav), Iggy, Fred, or Cinco.
We were in Louisiana, so of course there were crawfish. I perfected my method of decapitating/eating. It takes practice, but luckily there were lots of skilled hands to guide me.
My mom, being the jokester that she is, planted a dead one in my purse after the party. It was very scary/funny. They look beautifly red and tastey here, but when in a plastic baggie in your handbag, they resemble (blek) a roach.
Here are some other pictures from the weekend:
Here's my nephew, Holden. Looks like he had a little party to kick off Easter. His posed pictures with the seersucker jacket may be the cutest I've ever seen him, and that's saying a lot. This last one is such a great shot. Kudos to big sis for getting him to sit tight for his easter card photos.
My nephew Holden is in town for the week! I went to my mom's house last night to visit where we colored and Holden got a very luxurious bath in Mom and Jock's whirlpool. He loves the jets, and ehhem....candles. My mom lit candles for 2 year old Holden. Only the best for my nephew! He instructed me on my color choices for the Monsters Inc. coloring book that we so artfully destroyed. We'd pick a color...scribble really fast and hard and scream the color name. Pink!!!!!!!!!!! Brown!!!!!!!!!!!! Red!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Here are some pictures of the little man:
