Happy Easter!

Well, here are some pictures of Easter weekend. We ask the Bunny to come on Saturday, so we can spend Sunday focussed on the real meaning of Easter. The kids were total rag-a-muffins this weekend, but they cleaned up nice.

I believe my indoctorination is now complete...Ellie loves all things pink. She runs around calling for "My Pink"-which could be a pink egg, basket, jacket, etc. She also loves to watch "My Dora".
Look at all those eggs! We had great weather-I don't know if the Easter Bunny has ever hid our eggs outside before...there is usually snow.
More eggs!


What can I say? We are not used to seeing the sun again....squint, squint, squint. Not to mention, trying to get four kids to stand in the same spot, look at the camera, and smile...yeah, right.

DARLING! Christi, those outfits are so cute. And I love her little blue dress.

Now my questions is: Did you and Tom match too? ;)

Great pictures. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the one of Ellie with her hands up. So cute. Cade looks taller than Aiden in a couple of them -- is he standing on something or is he really almost as tall?

I love the 2 pictures of the boys looking at Ellie and then sharing her delight. They are darling. Happy Easter!

Love the term "ragamuffins"! I'm glad to hear Ellie has accepted being a girly girl despite having 3 older brothers. Good work.

No, Tom and I didn't match....wait, maybe Tom wore a blue tie afterall-well, it wasn't on purpose though. I love the matching. At what age is matching no longer okay? (I can only get away with it on holidays, so that's really only twice a year-more if there is a wedding.)

Cade is super tall, but still just shorter than Aidan (maybe-we haven't measured recently...it's a bit painful for Aidan). He's hands and feet are bigger than Aidan's. Tom is very excited...I hope Cade likes basketball. They wear the same size clothes, so it's kinda like twins. And, they fight like teenage girls when one is wearing the other's clothes.

I'm glad you had a warm Easter. I heard Utah had snow. The kids all look adorable in their blue outfits and I love your comment that the two fight like teenage girls over clothes. Very funny.

Fighting like teenage girls. That's funny. HOpefully they will grow out of it. Cade is that big? Poor Aiden.

So, the real reason I'm commenting again is to talk about Matthew MacFadden and MI-5. He is super cute, but my library only had the first season of MI-5 (and I LOVED it), so I'm totally jealous that your PBS is showing it. Speaking of PBS and MF, have you been watching 'LIttle Dorrit'? He is in it -- I haven't watched all of it because I'm saving it for a laundry day where I can sit and fold and watch...
