Easter

We all got up and got dressed up in our spanking new Easter garb. Then I needed to grab some shots of everyone looking all clean and matched. We were headed out side but then when we walked into this hallway of our church, the murals changed my mind for me. I could only grab a few quick ones as it was between services and tons of people were walking through. When it came time for the group shot, an unlucky friend happened to walk by and we grabbed him (thanks, Dan) and I shoved the camera into his hands. I had a long lens on so it was a bit tight to get us all in the frame, but Dan did a great job given what he had to work with.

Here are the girls. Olivia is the only one who loves her dress. Hannah was really unhappy when we bought hers, despite the fact that she originally chose it from the rack. Emily isn’t too thrilled with hers, but was willing to do it for me, since it matched the other two.

Boys are so much easier to shop for! I wanted to get Tom some plaid shorts, too, but I figured he wouldn’t wear them. He told me this morning that he would have. It figures.

Here’s the whole clan. Olivia really wasn’t beheaded. Just looks that way. After we took it, I became aware of our surroundings more and realized that, like 40 people had stopped on either end of the hallway to allow our pictures.

And this is how we started the morning… with Emily driving us to church. This was the first time Tom rode with her. It was entertaining for me to hear him teaching her. He also wasn’t used to her unique way of stopping and starting – especially at the traffic light that is on an incline.

After church, we had just left overs for lunch because we wanted to get to the skating rink by 1. They were doing a free admission session. Tom was going to go, but Ian fell asleep, so he sacrificed and stayed home with him while I took the kids. After the session on Friday, today was pretty hard for me handle. But, I survived.

We had Easter dinner for supper tonight. We had a ham (doesn’t every meat eater?), scalloped potatoes, and green beans. It was yummy. Olivia ate a ton. Guess she really liked it.
