Easter Sunday



I do not want to be overly critical however...this was the best picture that we could get on Sunday morning. I realize that the lighting is all funky, that there are big fat shadows across our faces, and that we are all squinting our eyes looking into the sun but all things considered I am glad that I have this picture. I am proud that we took it in spite of:
- us having to be at church by 8:30 am
- us having 2 parties at our house the last two nights (can you TIRED kids and momma) and Charles at a scout campout
- my need to have things perfect in order to do it and we did it anyway
- having a 4 year old that CRIES all morning when he realizes that it is Sunday and he has to change out of his "uniform" (Holes in both knees Levi's and a stripe shirt) to go to church. So fun getting him undressed out of that and into church clothes. :)
- having both of our cars and the trash can in the picture and having to stop everything to move everything
- already being late for church (OK not by anyone else's standards - just Charles' - if we are not 15 min early , we are LATE)

Oh well, I hope that you can enjoy the picture in all of it's imperfections. Notice that we were coordinating and NOT matching. (OK, except for the little boys) My kids think that they are too old for matching outfits now.

I love the blurred effect around the picture. Did you do that with photo editing software?

it turned out great, everyone is looking at the camera. I had my neighbor take our picture Sunday morning too but Austin wouldn't take off his sunglasses and Hannah kept putting her hand by her mouth. After I got the picture into the computer I realized that I was standing in front of the tree and the truck is the same color as my leg so one of my legs looks a little strange.

Oh Danee, you are so humble. Yes, you should be very proud of yourself, nobody is crying in the picture, that's huge in and of itself! What a gorgeous place you guys have. We sure miss you guys, we're still truckin along here in Provo, and are looking forward to our summer in Chicago! Take care, stop by our blog sometime (:

I think the picture is beautiful! What a great family.

Ya. We had no shadows on our easter pics--and that's because in Idaho it was cloudy and about 45 degrees.

My four year old cries every Sunday morning too! I'm hoping it is a phase. Cute Easter picture...I think I just snapped one of the kids sometime after church. Maybe next year?
