Happy Easter


Waiting to bust out of their Easter outfits!

We had a great Easter today. Getting ready for church was a challenge as Paige and Lindy struggle over what they can get away with wearing each week. Since they can wear casual clothes each week they were dressing up for Easter, no exceptions. They were whining about wearing tights for days, finally this morning when Paige was starting about how horrific it was to wear tights for a whole hour I laid on the guilt.

"Jesus died for you and you can't wear tights to church once this year??"
No response, point made. Except there were no tights that fit them, or else they threw them away! We had to settle for white socks and dress shoes. Which was fine but I saw Paige eyeing the flip flops in the basket when she was getting ready.

After church we returned home for pictures and our Easter egg hunt. Since the weather cooperated the Bunny left our eggs outside. Even though it was cool out it was a beautiful morning.

Mimi, Grommy, Gretchen, and Whitney came over for brunch and to celebrate Bill and Gretchen's birthdays. Poor Gretch we had to drag her off the couch to sing as she has a horrible migraine today. I don't think she ate anything and I know she didn't have any of her cake.

The kids had a great day, more to follow in next posts. Sorry we missed you BJ, hope you are feeling better BJ. Your fan club really missed you.



Erin is less than thrilled about having to do "one more picture"!

Paige is off to hunt!



Kyle was a great sport helping Erin and the girls out. He seemed to know just where to find the eggs. Hmm??








Lindy in utter delight over her find.

Kyle enjoyed having Grommy and Mimi all to himself at lunch.



Happy 35th Gretch and 39th Bill. Love you both!
Erin takes care of her beloved Aunt Gretch. What a headache she had today.

Even a really bad headache couldn't keep me away from the Miller household, I had a ton of fun. I was able to enjoy a piece of the delicious chocolate cake on Monday night. Aunt Whitney makes fun of me because I am not much of a cake person (Ice Cream and Cheesecake are my fav!) but Margot's chocolate cake is AWESOME!!!
