eggs

Easter eggs!
We had so much fun with our cousins.
Most everyone lasted about 2 eggs and then took off to persue the toys upstairs.

This guy kept things very interesting. Think entire tub of orange dye all over table, chair, floor and Preston!

And this guy followed big brother's lead. Think scattered showers. Blue showers.

She's not grumpin, Mom! She's counting the eggs we'd colored.

These two were the dye-hards. (;

Gwyneth outlasted everyone by about 3 times.

And you thought she was a grumpy bunny!

Ta-dah!

hippity hoppity

Easter's on its way!

She still dreads it.

If you look closely you can see the tears.

But she can do it.

Thank Heaven for daddies!

tiny lace frock
dainty silver slippers
an enchanting baby doll
and her daddy
upon whose arm she so prettily perches

these are a few of my favorite things

The moment she arrived on her mama's hip this morning sporting this ensemble I knew we must do a photo shoot.
No matter that we had 8 other children to tend to.
And do Easter eggs with.
And lunch to prepare.
For a small army.
No way.
It was a must.
So we took two minutes.
And look what we ended up with.
Can you really blame me?
After all, isn't every single one your very most favorite?

Just one for now.
Mama's favorite...

adah's newest trick

First, stick a hair band in your mouth. Uh huh. Like that.
And hook it around your two tiny bottom teeth...

Now, pull!

A little harder...Just a little harder...

And let 'er fly! She would've been content doing this all day long.

Goofy girl.
