I have this crazy obsession about the kids matching on Easter. It's fairly ridiculous, because it's pretty challenging. Especially when Kate wears pink.
Her dress this year had a lot of pink in it and I had the grand idea to make Jack a pink-ish tie from a tutorial I saw on the Internet. I don't sew often (I wish I did!) but I have a sewing machine and I can sew a fairly straight line, so I figured it wouldn't be that hard. Yeah right!! I could not get it right for the life of me. So at some point around midnight the night before Easter, I threw in the towel and made him a bow tie instead.
A really big bow tie. It was so cute, but he looked hilarious in it.
The kids DID match and they did look cute, but I need to remind myself next year to chill out (or start shopping way earlier).
We started the day with Easter baskets.
Then, everyone got all ready for church.
After a great church service, we headed to Gran and Marlin's house for a wonderful lunch. The kids posed for some pictures on their front porch.
Jack was more interested in sweeping than standing still for pictures!
It was such a pretty day, so the kids were able to play outside and have an Easter egg hunt.
After spending time over there, we headed to Mimi and Papa's for Easter dinner and more time outside hunting eggs.
This kid ate more chocolate than I think he has ever had in his whole life. He woke up crying that night with a stomachache because that's literally ALL he ate all day!
Brad, Vicky, and Ruckus were all in town, too.
We even managed a picture of Mimi and Papa with their three grandkids. Out of about 30 of this same shot, this was about the only one that turned out remotely o.k. I can't imagine what it will be like when there are a few more kids in the shot!
We had such a great time celebrating with family on a beautiful day!
