Easter 2013 (part 1)

I have so many Easter related pictures, I'm going to split this post into two parts. A few weeks before Easter, I must have been feeling brave, because I got the kids all gussied up, set up my backdrop and attempted some formal Easter photos.

As is usually the case, we got a few decent ones...

 ...and a WHOLE LOT MORE that just made me laugh. And of course, I was sweating by the end of our little photo shoot. There is a reason why photographers charge so much money! ;)

 The Saturday before Easter, we always attend the Optimists Egg Hunt in the park. There are huge masses of kids and thousands of little chocolate eggs scattered all over the ground. We always come home with pounds of chocolate.

 Ash & Cru checking out their haul.

 Hayden had to show off her fancy toenails...painted for the very first time for Easter! Funny side note: painting a busy baby's toenails is no easy task. After a couple of failed attempts, I finally snuck into her room while she was napping one day, with a headlamp attached to my head and got the job done. No pictures are available of that. ;)

 Hard telling what they were plotting...

 The annual Easter bunny picture...Hayden's first!

 We found Hunter Man, too!

 That night, the Buchmans invited us over for a glow-in-the-dark egg hunt! I wish I could have captured how awesome this was on camera, but no such luck--taking pictures in the dark is tough! It was so fun to see all the glowing eggs scattered over their lawn! Just use your imagination...

Thanks for the fun, Buchmans!
