Easter!

My favorite thing about any holiday is having a reason to take pictures of my family. I love to dress them up and get them in front of the camera. I think the most common words out of my mouth is "Why do I even bother!". It can be very frustrating to get everyone to look at the camera and smile at the same time. Ex specially when we are using the timer, but more often than not we get something that I am happy with.

I was sad to discover that Easter was on General Conference weekend I love to make dresses for my girls, but I do not love to wear a dress if I do not have to. Lucky for me I have a crafty friend that had made these cute sun dresses for her girls and I decided it would be something that I could get done for the Sunday before. Too bad I am not the type of person that really plans ahead. I get an idea and make my self and family a little crazy, but always for a good cause. I tried to be practical this year. I did not make my kids get up and get dressed with their hair curled this year. Like I said I am all about the pictures. The kids had fun finding eggs and getting candy!At Grandma Pam's house we participated in egg decorating

Hannah made a cute little pigConnor made an alligator I was really pleased with how cute Connor's alligator turned out. He had some help!Bonnie had fun dying her eggsI did make the kids take pictures before going off to Grandma's. The sooner you put a smile on your face the sooner we go! The family picture is always a little tricky, but how I love seeing us all together!
