THE Easter Dress!

Weeks!  Maura has been waiting weeks to wear the Easter dress.  Sister Singleton took her shopping to find the PERFECT dress and it has been hanging in the closet waiting to be worn.  I don't think she has been excited for anything as much as she has been to wear this dress!

 And then she wanted to do a photo shoot.

 And twirl...

 And pose some more...

 There was a lot of threatening before I got some semi good pictures of all three of them...it was a little annoying.

 Then Maura wanted to be the photographer. She was VERY particular about what she wanted from me! She took a lot of time making me do exactly what she wanted! FUUUUNNY!

 Then Dallin was the photographer.  He does a really terrific job!  I didn't crop the photos or anything! He's got a great eye!

 Then more posing...especially from M!

 Then Jeff became the photographer...this is one of about 100, but you get the idea how it went....

 Love these kids!

 The Easter Bunny found us!

He's a pretty smart bunny.  He knew we needed new flip-flops and swim towels for this summer!

 Trenton and Rhyno had some good snuggle time this morning.

And then there was egg hunting in the back yard.

We had a great morning together and enjoyed a yummy breakfast as well.  As we were eating Maura said she didn't want any ham.  Jeff was quick to answer, "Why not Maura, it's just Chicken.  You like chicken!"  We had a good laugh and then he realized what he had said. Silly kids!

Neighborhood Easter Breakfast and Egg hunt

Each year our neighborhood has this terrific event.  It is always well attended.  We have breakfast, visit with neighbors and ward members, and then there is a fun egg 'hunt'. 

(They don't really have to hunt for anything, it's mostly just running and picking up eggs, but we love it!)

Good friends are always around!

 Getting ready to run...

 Hours and weeks of preparation and it's over in a few exciting moments.

 Counting the loot!

 They are in the annoying stage...I couldn't get even one good picture.

We sure do love this tradition!

It's been an entire month since I blogged...an ENTIRE MONTH! Shame on me.  I haven't gotten out the camera very often either. *sigh*
