Easter Was...

awhile ago...oh well, the post is here anyway! Easter really did turn out nice despite our myriad of problems. We were supposed to be visiting my family for our pitiful 2-day spring break, but considering the wicked virus I was still fighting it just was not possible for us to go. Thank goodness for Grandma. She had us over for a very fun Easter. We had a wonderful meal and the kids had a great time with their cousins and grandparents. I did manage to take a few photos:)

Coloring Easter eggs. Vivien is showing her complete annoyance with my photo taking....yea...that's great. anyway, we got to color Easter eggs twice this year! Our first eggs were completely undercooked....a bit of a bummer. The kids were not quite as excited to color eggs the second time around but, they willing did it anyway;)

My wanna be teenager refusing to stand in the traditional "wait your turn" line.

Everyone happy with their Easter basket. (baby still asleep)

Ava headed out for the egg hunt at Grandma's.

Vivien trying hard to find at least one egg.

Kids even venturing out into the flower beds looking for eggs...nothing will stop a true egg hunter...not flowers, dirt, or possibly snow....I am actually surprised there was no snow....considering our fun weather;)

All five girls looking in the same spot...?

Considering the annoying illness. I was not up to church on Easter Sunday....how terribly not Easterish of me...I really was sad to miss. Nicolette got to stay home with me and we had a little photo shoot. She really looked so precious in her dress. She was very sad to not be off to church with the sisters...it's so hard to be the baby. You have to stay home with sicky mom...bummer...

Oh, I love this baby !

She even considered being nice to me after the tantrum was over...I felt pretty lucky:)

Pretty in Pink. You think I would be sick of pink but, I'm not. I still buy it 5 girls later.

When I look at those pictures I cant believe you have 5 girls. Seeing them all in their dresses is unreal, in a cool way:) Oh, and its always cool to see Easter picutes in May--haha!

Way cute pictures of the girls! Some times I wish I had more girls but now with at teenager I am not sure I want either boys or girls anymore. Too bad you guys were sick for Easter....nothing worse than being sick on a holiday.

aI love that you still blog even if the event was a while ago...it validates me....because I do the same thing too. I'm feeling really bad today though because I haven't taken one picture of Payton's soccer games and I think her last game was this week....bad Mom...Bad Mom.

Way cute Easter dresses and even prettier girls.
