It’s hard to narrow it down to a few favorites when the week included Easter and PJ’s birthday. Guess you’ll just have to hop over to the photo gallery to see the rest. Make sure you check out both the 2009Easter AND the 2009Spring albums because there’s new photos in both. Egg Dying My favorite...
