Easter 2011

Well Today was my favorite holiday!

EASTER!

1 Because it is the most fun without all the hoop la attached before hand.
2 Because it is Springtime and I love Springtime!
and
3. Well to quote my Dad 'Without Easter, Jesus was just a naked baby in a barn' hehe (Gosh I miss that man! He loved Easter too!) I am so thankful that Jesus died on that cross and rose again on the third day to save us from our sins. Easter is my absolute favorite holiday!

We collectively as a family try to keep all of our holidays simple. Not a lot of running an not a lot of fuss. We just go with the flow. We try our best not to do a lot of running on the holidays. So much less stressful that way. This year was no different than last year..except for one thing...'Little Bit'!

Well I harnessed my professional photographer side today and took a few pics.
I made Sis's skirt and Little Bits Jumper. I think I paid around $2.50 for all of it. Oh and the quilt in the background is Little Bits baby quilt that I finally finished. (four months later..yes I was slacking.)

I am not sure why but this is the first baby I have ever had that does not like to have her picture taken. She will be all smiles until I pull out the camera and than I get the dirtiest looks. She has done it since right after she was born. Hubby took a pic of her in my arms and she glared at him!


Yep! See there is that face again.



YAY! Finally got a pic without one of those scary faces!



Little Bit and Hubby. She thinks the world revolves around him!



Here is a rare one. I am in it. Don't get used to it. It doesn't happen often. ;o)


Of course after the picture taking is over, I take her outside and she is all smiles. I almost caught it this time! Plus you can see my garden in the background! I am starting to wonder if it is ever going to dry off enough to plant.


This face Cracks me up! I have never had a baby with so many facial expressions at this age. I am so enjoying her!

It has been so rainy here for this time of year. Today wasn't any different than we have had all Spring. We were very blessed though! It rained in the morning then cleared off for the afternoon. long enough to hunt eggs and play outside. Of course after the Easter egg hunt..the kids hunted for the duck eggs that our ducks just randomly lay in the yard. I think they had more fun looking for those!

Hope everyone had a wonderful Easter!
