Easter outfits, egg hunts, & candy!

I always loved getting a new Easter dress to wear to church on Easter Sunday when I was growing up, so I'm carrying on the tradition with my kiddos. I've bought about 3 outfits for both Bailey and Beau, returned, bought again, and so on. These are the ones I finally decided on. I love my kids and when Bailey puts on a dress she just spins around and lights up. Beau just hates getting dressed all together.



How sweet is that!?

I tell you it's always easier taking pictures of other people's kids, I cannot get the pictures I want of my own kids, I have to be super quick to get anything. So here's a random one!
How lovely... Bailey's starting to give me nice cheeser smiles when I pull the camera out, and Beau just stares at me wondering why I'm making crazy noises to get him to look in the right direction.
Beau's sweet little half smile, and one of Bailey's poses she does when the camera comes out. She sticks one hip out a little smiles but looks at the ground, not me. (you can't really see her hip poking out but it is a little).
Looking for eggs around the house.
Checking out her eggs she found.
Beau with his eggs.

Beau finally being willing to crawl on the grass, he hated the grass the first time he touched it, so this is good progress.

The annual egg hunt at the Peterson's! Some of the cousins waiting, "patiently" for everyone to come out, and the countdown to the quick dash for eggs!And... our fabulous family picture. So this is Easter 2008, Beau trying to crawl away, Bailey trying to run away, and Jeremy and I just smiling and ready for that "perfect" family shot, that didn't happen.

I did the SAME thing with Kylie's Easter dress! (Except I didn't return any...didn't have the heart! :) ) But I ALMOST bought the dress Bailey had on as one of them too! So funny. Happy Easter! Darling photos! Thanks for sharing!

Your kids are so cute. I know what you mean about trying to get a good picture of your own kids. You do a great job, though! I love the dress you chose for Bailey. By the way, Bailey is my maiden name and I always wanted my first girl to be named Bailey. Ever since I was 14. Brady won that fight. :)
