If you know me, you know I tend to go a little camera crazy.
Especially during holidays.
So, get ready for a LOT of pictures!!!
We went down to Oceanside for Easter weekend (one of the perks of our move to Santa Maria!)
Rylee LOVES gum these days (she has just recently figured out how to chew and not swallow it) so she was extra excited about the gum that the Easter Bunny left in her basket.
Cailyn didn't give a hoot about anything in a basket - she just went straight for the easily accessible candy on the tables and chairs.
After she had eaten a good chunk of chocolate and jelly beans from the table, I was finally able to convince Cailyn that the basket was worth looking at, too!
She quickly went straight back to the table though - where she didn't have to mess with wrappers!
After the "hunt" (if you can call it that), it was time for the outdoor photo shoot. Grandma and Grandpa Mac's coral tree was in bloom and matched their dresses perfectly!

Shortly after we finished taking pictures, Rylee wet her pants. Fortunately, we had back-up dresses! (I pretty much always choose the girls' clothes, so when Quinn liked these cute dresses for Easter I let him have his way this year, even though I would have chosen the ones you are about to see. Luckily, Grandma Mac saw and loved these dresses, too, so she wound up getting one for each of her grandbabies! So I guess this was the year of two Easter dresses for my girls!)
These pics are at Grandpa Bob and Grandma Joanne's house during Easter dinner.
Rylee LOVED picking lemons straight from the tree!
These eggs were...CONFETTI EGGS!!!
And it wouldnt' be Easter without our traditional Bunny Cake, of course!
We got an egg coloring kit, but with all the hustle and bustle that weekend, we didn't get around to actually coloring eggs until Tuesday after we got home. It was a Tinkerbell kit, and Rylee insisted on dying every single egg green (since that's Tinkerbell's color.) I did, however, convince her to add other colors on top.
Next came the stickers...
...then the glitter (notice Rylee's other hand is up...she shook that arm at the same time as she shook the glitter out!)

What darling pictures. I love that you are so close to them now. I know they love it too. The girls are growing way too fast, life happens that way doesn't it. We love you guys, see you this summer.....
ReplyDeleteCute dresses! A girl can never have too many dresses right? My kids are obsessed with gum too...but it has been banned since they put it on the back windows of my car!
ReplyDeleteThe girls are adorable! (and growing up so fast). Love, love, love the matching dresses!
