The obligatory Easter post

We tried to take a family picture.
No luck.

So we tried to get a picture of just the kids.
Not much more luck.
Then we tried for just one kid.
Sorry. She is TOO wiggly.


We hunted.

Why are they wearing crowns at 7:30 in the morning?



We hunted some more.

Does Calvin's basket look familiar to any of you cousins?

It says Fortner on the bottom. I am not sure how I ended up with this, but we have used it since Henry was a baby.

We ate too much and now we are tired.
Spring Break starts tomorrow. Hooray!

what fun! I love seeing pictures like these and Phoebe, the 1st family photo is priceless, if that were me, I would blow it up and stick it on my wall....BIG! It just captures everything that we all feel when we try to get a decent picture...awesome. Have fun during spring break!!

Kristen said...

sorry,,I love their outfits too!!

Karen said...

Yep, there is a picture of that basket on my blog too!

We took family pictures yesterday also, since everyone was there (a rare occurence) We had varying degrees of sucess.

Karen said...

That would be 'success'

I commend you for even trying - we didn't even do that! Looks like you had a fun day and the sum was shining - hope you have a nice spring break!

I LOVE those family shots! Why is it so hard to get a family shot? At least everyone was looking fantastic!

We can never get a good Easter picture. I finally gave up on the family yesterday and tried just for the kids. It was ok. BTW, I have that same dress from Target. I can't wait to where it I'm just having a super hard time finding a navy blue cami....cream looks cute too! Probably easier to find.

I can see and understand the vision for the family, kids & individual photos, even if the perfect ones weren't captured for posterity.

Mandy said...

We had similar results from our attempts at a family shot. I'm sure we'll laugh at them one day.

love the hat with a's sailor dress. everyone's clothes look great.

we attempted a family photo also; it is pretty much impossible even with just one child.

Phoebe said...

Eliza, I love the Gymboree dress. Thank you! I was at the store and saw the hat to match and couldn't resist. I thought she needed some sort of headwear for Easter, especially.
I keep reassuring members of my ward that I really do not buy all of Agnes' clothes. I just have friends and family with fabulous taste.

Amen on the unsuccessful attempts at a family picture. I don't why I let it stress me out- you'd think I'd have learned by now that it's just not going to happen. Sigh. But you do all look very cute.

Sarah said...

The boys look darling, love the hats, esp. on "Hen"; you look hot, but, let's face it, AGNES steals the show!

I think the 2nd photo is a great family shot - David does look a little "enthusiastic" but hey, what this old world needs is a little more enthusiasm!!

I don't have "early" Easter shots - the ones you admired on the Terrill blog do not involve infants!

So funny! I took like 50 Easter pictures of my kids and I got one that is OK. Yikes! Kate has a little sailor dress like that (I got it at Macy's on clearance for $10.50! I have been waiting for 5 years through only having boys to purchase a sailor outfit, so I also got the pants outfit, and the dress and pants outfit to fit her next year too...I couldn't pass them up for that price! Look forward to many pictures of sailor outfits from our family!)
