The kids dyed eggs with their Grandma and cousin this year, so we decorated sugar cookies instead, it just might become our tradition. I enjoyed it so much more, way less mess, staining of the fingers/table...and SO much more tasty to eat!
The Easter Bunny's offerings-
Max showing off his new sunnies and his hot new spring shirt.
Grace in her matching dress -
I wanted to get a few family pictures - can I just say that is the reason people go insane? My children, what can I say?A special thanks to my brother for the side shot while we were waiting. I know no one forced me to post it, but I guess one side shot of me pregnant should be included...
So just to keep a tally - I think my eyes are closed, and Grace's head is down.
Grace is complaining and Mike and I are looking down trying to bribe her, Max is thinking about all the candy he'd like to eat.
Cute of Mike and I, and okay of Max. Grace is pulling a lovely face, still complaining about how bright it is.
We move out of the sun and my brother, whom I love, doesn't let us know Mike looks like he's highlighting his finer features...Ok so after 15 minutes I'm sure he was done too. Max's eyes are closed, and Grace actually has a smile but her hair looks like it's being smooched by Mike's shirt.
A cute picture - without the kids!
One last attempt at the kids, me threatening they won't play outside if I don't get one good picture, and this was the one I got....whatever!
So I move to individuals, Max can't look the camera straight, but it's not too bad.
I'm not sure what was so dang interesting over yonder, but both kids ended up looking that way.
So tonight, when my MIL wanted to get grand kid pictures, I just smiled and said okay. I wished them well and thought with my little pills, you may need a Xanex when your done. And trust me, she did.
