Photo Shoot

I tried to take some photos of our girls on Easter.  I wanted to get it before Anna took a nap (she was exhausted) and before Maddie spit up on her dress. Dave was at church (we came home early since Anna wasn’t feeling great), so I had to do it on my own.  It was so bright outside, but Anna was trying hard to smile.  Then we went inside, but unfortunately she kept showing her underwear.  Here are some of my snapshots, I also played around with my “Windows Live Writer” and tweaked the colors, I was a little lazy to change them back.   I guess if anything is shows their personalities and what they are in to these days (like Maddie sucking on ANYTHING).

Easter Day

I know most of my posts are photos.  I need to be better at random thought posts.  But I have never been a writer and Dave rarely blogs.  Plus you would rather see the cute kids anyway, right?

The Eggs….

     

Easter Dinner.  We had our fabulous “Utah/Modesto” friends, the Stices and the Tibbs, over for Ham and other yummy goods.  I was so excited and wanted to make it special I pulled out the china, made ice out of eggs and made delicious place tags.  All the food was DELICIOUS.  I wish I would have gotten a photo of us at the table.  

I also made an Easter Bunny Cake (Anna asked me ALL day when we got to eat it.)  It was a Funfetti cake with lemon frosting. SO delicious.  I also make homemade chocolate covered caramels….divine!!

We opened Easter Baskets from Mom and Dad in the morning.  Then the Easter Bunny came in the afternoon after he had visited Utah. (:

Maddie Gave it a thumbs up!

The hunt….

I could be British

Okay, except for maybe the monarchy thing, but still the whole enchantment behind having a Queen, Prince,Princesses, Duke, Duchess, etc. seems sort of intriguing. Though that is me saying that without a lot of knowledge of the ins and outs of royalty AND let's not forget the fact that I play princesses all day with Anna.

With that said, Didn't you LOVE the wedding. I spent too much time watching things this weekend, but it was such a joy. Kate looked absolutely stunning, and I loved the red that William wore.

I have to say though that my favorite was the hats. I could be British if only to have an accent, though I realize if I had it I wouldn't really know it, but mostly to wear those hats! Some I admit are a little much and a little silly, but seriously to dress up like that and have a unique hat to wear would be the epitome of fun! I love the class of it all much more than the skanky Hollywood trends.

In my hurry tonight to post a little something, I will not try to figure out how to get photos of the hats on my blog. Check the wedding hats out here ( my favorites are #5,7,12):

I also could wear any of these Kate Middleton, opps now Catherine Duchess of Cambridge, hats as well. So stunning!
